      The Spring Festival is approaching, and it is inevitable to eat and drink a lot. However, in order to prevent extreme happiness from causing sadness, everyone must pay more attention to the health of the stomach. Gastroptosis is one of the common diseases during the Spring Festival. Let’s take a look at some traditional Chinese medicine methods to treat gastroptosis.

      1. Spleen deficiency and qi depression type

      Pale complexion, mental fatigue, weak speech, shortness of breath and fatigue, little food and indigestion, heavy epigastrium, fullness, uncomfortable belching, aggravated after eating, weak muscles, pale tongue with white coating, and slow pulse. To treat the symptoms, use Buzhong Yiqi Decoction combined with Zhizhu Pills. If you eat less and have anorexia, you can add 6g of chicken gizzard, 12g each of fried rice sprouts and malt. For nausea and vomiting, add 10g of pinellia ternata, or use Xuanfu Daizhe Decoction together.

      2. Drinking type with both virtual and actual contents

      Abdominal distention and discomfort, especially after eating. She likes warmth and pressing, and will feel throbbing in her lower abdomen. There is a sound of water flowing through the intestines, nausea, vomiting with clear water and phlegm, loose stools, and a pale tongue with white coating. The pulse is heavy, thin and slippery. To treat the disease, warm the yang and transform it into drinks, harmonize the stomach and lower the inverse condition. Use Linggui Zhugan Decoction combined with Fuzi Lizhong Decoction plus 10g of Pinellia ternata instead of 15g of ocher, or add 3g of Coptis chinensis and 6g of Wuyu.

      3. Liver and stomach disharmony type

      Swelling and discomfort in both flanks, fullness in the epigastrium and abdomen, hiccups, belching, noisy soreness, poor breathing, thin and greasy coating, stringy and small pulse. To soothe the liver and harmonize the stomach, use Bupleurum Soothing Gan Powder combined with Zuojin Pills, or a combination of Sini Powder and Xiaoyao Powder.

      4. Insufficient stomach yin type

      Slightly red complexion, red and dry lips, distended epigastrium, burning discomfort, dry mouth and bitter thirst, belching, nausea and vomiting, dry stool, red tongue with little fluid, and thready pulse.

If the vomiting is obvious, you can nourish the stomach and reduce the symptoms, and use Ophiopogon japonicus decoction and Zhuru decoction.

      5. Stomach stasis type

      Fullness in the chest and diaphragm, bloating in the epigastrium and abdomen, tingling pain in the navel, tenderness when pressed, nausea, weight loss, dull complexion, dark tongue or ecchymosis, thin fur, and thready or astringent pulse.
