Chronic gastritis, whether superficial gastritis or atrophic gastritis, can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. The theory of Chinese medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, holistic treatment, and utilizes observation, smell, questioning, and pulse-taking to determine a patient's cause and mechanism of disease, followed by targeted treatment. Common treatment methods include tonifying qi and strengthening the spleen, soothing the liver and relieving depression, harmonizing the stomach and reversing counterflow, invigorating the blood and dispelling stasis, among others. The treatment varies greatly and must be tailored to the specific circumstances of the patient through face-to-face diagnosis. It is also important to develop good dietary and living habits, opting for a diet that is light, easy to digest, and avoids raw, greasy, spicy foods, and alcohol, often resulting in better therapeutic effects.
