Superficial gastritis belongs to the category of stomach pain and stomach plumpness in Chinese medicine. Patients with two injuries of qi and yin can drink American ginseng, but patients with deficiency of spleen and stomach (spleen and stomach weakness and cold) and patients with cold and dampness in the stomach should not drink American ginseng. American ginseng has the effect of tonifying qi and nourishing yin, clearing heat and generating fluids, and is suitable for patients with qi and yin injuries. Symptoms include dry mouth and tongue, internal heat, irritability, burning pain in the stomach, and emptiness in the stomach. However, American ginseng is cold in nature and may aggravate the deficiency of yang qi in the spleen and stomach when used by patients with cold spleen and stomach. American ginseng injures yang and helps dampness, and should not be used by patients with cold and dampness in the spleen and stomach. The dosage of American ginseng in water is limited, and it cannot completely replace the medication to treat the disease, so you need to use American ginseng under the guidance of a professional Chinese medicine practitioner to identify the symptoms. Avoid eating spicy and stimulating food during the period of taking medicine.
