Question
My father has ulcerative gastritis, and it seems that the medication he takes only works during the period of use, and the condition recurs after stopping the medication. Additionally, he recently felt pain in the middle of his back, and I’m not sure if it’s related to gastritis. I would like to try traditional Chinese medicine treatment and inquire if there is a cure-all prescription.
Answer
Here is a recipe you can try for treatment: 12 grams of Pinellia ternata, 6 grams of Scutellaria baicalensis, 10 grams of dried ginger, 3 grams of Coptis chinensis, 6 grams of ginseng, 10 grams of dried dates, 10 grams of prepared licorice root, 30 grams of Forsythia suspensa, and 10 grams of Aconitum carmichaelii. Boil these herbs in water for administration. If effective, you can continue taking them for a period of time.
