Taking traditional Chinese medicine for stomach disease has some effect, but it is not recommended to drink traditional Chinese medicine for a long time. Long-term use of Chinese medicine for stomach problems may cause stimulation of the gastrointestinal tract, aggravate the burden on the liver and other adverse consequences.

It is recommended that patients with gastric diseases, timely consultation, according to the doctor’s guidance, to determine whether the need for long-term use of traditional Chinese medicine to treat and regulate, do not self-medication, in order to avoid adverse effects.
