However, the dinners are too frequent, and the skewers are mostly meat-based, too greasy. You must not be greedy. For people with chronic gastritis, you must be more careful. If you don’t pay attention, it will bring you pain . Today, we will introduce to you the treatment of chronic gastritis, and hope that everyone can enjoy delicious food in a healthy and healthy manner.
Chronic gastritis is a kind of common disease, frequently-occurring disease, and its sickness rate occupies the first place in various stomach diseases. Current studies believe that chronic gastritis is mainly caused by Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection. The clinical symptoms of most patients with chronic gastritis are prominent manifestations of gastrointestinal symptoms such as stomach pain, bloating, anorexia, loss of appetite, vomiting, belching and nausea. Although the disease name of chronic gastritis is not found in the ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine, according to its clinical manifestations, the terms "epigastric pain", "acid regurgitation", "fullness" and "noisy" in traditional Chinese medicine are all applicable.
"Su Wen Bi Lun Pian" says: "If you eat twice as much, you will hurt the stomach", pointing out that improper diet will cause damage to the spleen and stomach. "Spleen and Stomach Theory·Spleen and Stomach Deficiency and Excess Transition Theory" said: "The old husband's diet is out of order, cold and warm are uncomfortable, the spleen and stomach are injured... this is why he is sick", and systematically discusses the pathological changes of spleen and stomach diseases caused by eating out of order and internal injuries of the seven emotions. .
Although the disease location of chronic gastritis is in the stomach, it is also closely related to the liver and spleen. The spleen and the stomach are the exterior and interior of each other. The two complement each other physiologically and often affect each other pathologically. Between the liver and the stomach, wood and soil multiply together, and the stagnation of liver qi is easy to invade the stomach. Stomach is one of the six internal organs, and it is used for passage. Any reason such as cold, heat, deficiency, food stagnation, etc. causes the stomach qi to lose its balance and descend, and the movement of qi is not smooth, which will cause fullness, pain, and belching. and other symptoms. Moxibustion has a very good effect on the conditioning and treatment of chronic gastritis. Let me introduce it to you as follows:

Operation method:
Using scarless moxibustion, take upper, middle, lower Sanwan and Zusanli, moxibustion at each point for 15-20 minutes. During the treatment period, the patient also needs to flirt with emotions, diet, avoid raw, cold and greasy, and 2 weeks is a course of treatment.
Moxibustion, as a traditional Chinese medicine external treatment method, has the functions of warming yang and strengthening the body, dispelling cold and relieving pain. "The Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine" says: "Sweat in strong winds, moxibustion means happy points." It shows that people have realized the important role of moxibustion in preventing and curing diseases thousands of years ago. "What acupuncture does not do, moxibustion is suitable", "Northern people... the wind is cold and icy, and the people live in the wild and eat milk, and the cold is full of diseases, and the treatment is suitable for moxibustion and moxibustion", which shows that moxibustion has a unique adaptability Syndrome, especially suitable for the treatment of diseases of deficiency and cold.
Moxibustion can produce a series of unique effects through local thermal stimulation: the rise of local skin temperature can promote local blood circulation and lymphatic circulation and the absorption and metabolism of various pathological products, so it has the effect of improving local symptoms ; When specific reaction points or stimulation points are stimulated, the meridian can communicate with the upper, lower, inner, outer, and body organs, and it can also produce an overall regulation effect and treat the diseases of the whole body.
We can also use ginger-partitioned moxibustion to treat chronic gastritis. Let me share an experience with you:
Take Zhongwan, Qihai, Neiguan and Zusanli points, among which Zusanli and Neiguan points are taken on both sides, a total of 5 points. Operation: The patient is placed in the supine position. The operator uses a blade to cut fresh ginger into thin slices with a diameter and thickness of 2.6 cm×0.4 cm. A few holes are punctured in the center with a needle, and placed in the lower layer of the central round hole of the moxibustion box. Iron grid, and then a piece of moxa column with a height of 10 mm and a weight of about 1.5 g was ignited and placed on the iron grid. Put it lightly on the patient's acupoints, moxibustion 1 acupoint each time, 3 times a week, a total of 12 treatments, and take it away after the moxa sticks are burned out.
Partition moxibustion, also known as indirect moxibustion or interval moxibustion, is a method of applying moxibustion on the moxa cone and the skin with a spacer. Ginger-partitioned moxibustion is a kind of partitioned moxibustion, which is a comprehensive treatment method that combines the warmness of ginger with the heat of moxibustion fire. There was a record in Yang Jizhou's "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Dacheng" in the Ming Dynasty: "Moxibustion uses sliced ginger such as Qianhou, puts it in the acupoint on the tongue, and then moxibustion." After the spacer, the high temperature generated by the burning of moxa can be greatly alleviated, and the temperature acting on the body surface is more suitable.
