Can Chinese medicine treat atrophic gastritis?

TCM can treat atrophic gastritis and can provide some relief for atrophic gastritis, but there is no way to achieve a complete cure. Patients are advised to go to a TCM practitioner for evidence-based treatment and not to use medication on their own. The Chinese medicines that can be applied, such as Gastrodia granules, Xiang Sha Yang Gastric Pills, Huang Qi Jian Gastric Capsules and Gastric Fuxing Capsules can be used. Patients with atrophic gastritis must pay attention to a light, easily digestible diet, reduce too spicy, irritating food, and avoid overeating. In addition, it is recommended to always check for H. pylori and pay attention to quit smoking and alcohol. If there is a positive H. pylori infection, it is recommended that it must be treated with Western medicine, never a single drug to prevent further development of the disease.
