Liver qi offending the stomach (liver qi not working well affecting the function of the stomach) refers to digestive dysfunction due to liver qi going sideways and too much detachment, affecting the spleen and stomach. Its main clinical manifestations are ambiguous qi, acid swallowing (swallowing the acid in the stomach that rushes up the oropharynx), vomiting and other symptoms.
The main clinical manifestations of patients whose liver qi offends the stomach are distension and pain in the stomach and epigastric region and the ribs, uncertainty of movement, ambiguous qi, acid swallowing and noisy (a feeling similar to hunger, emptiness with burning in the stomach), eructation (hiccups), vomiting, inappetence, depression, good tai shi, or irritability, with a pale red tongue, thin yellow moss, and a stringy pulse.
When symptoms of liver qi offending the stomach appear, it is necessary to consult a Chinese medicine practitioner in time to determine the treatment plan after diagnosis by the Chinese medicine practitioner, and individuals should not diagnose or use medication on their own.
