Mr. Lu, male, 51 years old, diagnosed on January 21, 1984. He has been experiencing stomach pain for half a year, often feeling nauseous and hiccuping. A gastroscopy at a hospital diagnosed him with "superficial antral gastritis," but treatment with both Chinese and Western medicine has been ineffective. Upon detailed inquiry, it was found that since the onset of the illness, he has been suffering from unbearable dysphoria, stomach pain, and a sense of epigastric upset that is indescribable. His bowel movements are normal, but his urine is yellow, his tongue coating is yellow, and his pulse is slightly rapid and wiry. This is attributed to stagnant heat affecting the stomach, and the treatment should focus on clearing heat, relieving stagnation, eliminating irritability, and alleviating pain. Prescription:
Gardenia Fermented Soybean 12g each, Bamboo Shavings, Curcuma Root, Yanhusuo 10g each, Fresh Ginger Rhizome 3 slices
2 doses, epigastric pain stopped.
