How to Treat Tongue with White Coating Stomach Bloating and Acidity by Chinese Medicine Practitioners

The white and greasy tongue and bloated stomach with acidity may be caused by spleen deficiency and dampness, which can be treated by traditional Chinese medicine or acupuncture. The spleen and stomach are the base of the body, the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and their main function is to transport water and grains. If the spleen is deficient in transportation or cold and dampness obstructs the spleen and stomach, the spleen and stomach will malfunction in transporting water and grains and lead to dampness, resulting in bloating of the stomach and white and greasy tongue, and if the dampness accumulates for a long period of time and turns into heat, then there will be soreness and bitterness in the mouth. For treatment, Chinese herbal medicines can be taken orally, and if accompanied by stomach distension and pain, Xiang Sha Liu Jun Zi Tang can be chosen to resolve phlegm and regulate qi to relieve pain (by unblocking qi to relieve pain); and if accompanied by loose stools, Ginseng Ling Bai Zhu San can be chosen to seep away dampness and strengthen the spleen. Acupuncture and moxibustion can be used to strengthen the spleen and resolve dampness (to strengthen the spleen and get rid of dampness), such as Sanyinjiao, Yinlingquan, Zhongkou and Tianshu. The above medications are recommended to be used under medical supervision. If there is white and greasy tongue, stomach distension and acidity, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, and choose the appropriate method of treatment after being viewed by a professional physician.
