Baohe Pills for indigestion

Common spleen and stomach discomfort is mostly food stagnation in the stomach.

The treatment can be based on the principle of digesting food and removing stagnation.

Morodan for atrophic gastritis

Morodan is suitable for patients with atrophic gastritis. It has many drug components and can also be taken for other stomach diseases as long as the symptoms are suitable. It mainly plays the role of harmonizing the stomach and relieving counterflow, strengthening the spleen and relieving bloating, unblocking meridians and relieving pain. It can be used for patients with yin deficiency, dampness obstruction, qi stagnation and blood stasis. However, it should not be taken by patients with yang deficiency with symptoms such as qi deficiency and weakness, dull complexion, and cold hands and feet.

Many Chinese people have spleen and stomach problems. You can keep some Chinese patent medicines at home, but you must use them according to your symptoms. If you cannot tell the difference yourself, you should go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Finally, the editor reminds you that this type of medicine should not be used excessively or for a long time. Large amounts of use can easily damage the yang energy of the spleen and stomach, causing physical weakness. If there is no significant improvement after taking it, you should go to the hospital for specialist diagnosis and treatment.
