Proprietary Chinese medicines that specialize in the treatment of enteritis

Enteritis belongs to the category of “diarrhea” in Chinese medicine. There is no proprietary Chinese medicine specifically for the treatment of enteritis. Depending on the symptoms, patients can take Enteritis Syrup, Xianglian Pill, Spleen and Intestines Pill and so on. 1. Enteritis syrup is composed of Dijin grass, golden hairy ear grass, camphor root and so on. It has the effects of clearing heat and inducing dampness (getting rid of heat and dampness in the body) and moving Qi. It is used for the treatment of diarrhea and dysentery caused by damp-heat in the large intestine (the large intestine feels damp-heat evil), with symptoms such as diarrhea in the stool, or pus and blood in the stool. It is not recommended to take tonic Chinese medicine at the same time. 2. Xianglian Pill is composed of Cornu Cervi Pelargonium and Wood Fragrance. It has the effects of clearing heat and resolving dampness, moving qi and relieving pain (relieving pain by regulating the body’s qi). It is used for dysentery caused by dampness-heat in the large intestine, which is characterized by pus and blood in the stool, urgency and heaviness (discomfort in the lower abdomen, wanting to defecate very much, and a feeling of incomplete defecation after defecation), fever and abdominal pain. Cold-dampness discharging is prohibited. 3. Tonifying the Spleen and Benefiting the Intestine Pill, composed of Astragalus, Codonopsis, Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng, Radix et Rhizoma Alba, Radix Paeoniae Alba and others.
