Soothes the Liver, Harmonizes the Stomach, Benefits Qi, Alleviates Pain
Stomach Formula effectively targets “Gan Wei Bu He” or Liver-Stomach disharmony syndrome. This syndrome pattern arises when Liver Qi stagnates, becomes excessive and moves horizontally, thus impairing the descending of Stomach Qi causing Stomach Qi to rebel upward; and impairing the Spleen’s ability to transport Stomach Qi effectively. Liver-Stomach disharmony is characterized by distending pain in the flanks, belching, hiccups, a subjective feeling of fullness and blockage in the upper abdomen, indigestion, poor appetite, bloating, abdominal distention, epigastric pain that may be dull, gnawing and worse at night or when the stomach is empty, burning sensation in the stomach, acid regurgitation and heartburn. Stomach Formula has been found to be especially effective for “Wei-wan-tong” or epigastric pain, abdominal distention, chronic superficial gastritis and peptic ulcers caused by Liver Stomach disharmony.

Stomach Formula has been shown pharmacologically to suppress Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), the acid-resistant bacteria known to be the most common cause of gastritis and peptic ulcers. Stomach Formula has also been shown to stop mild bleeding in the upper digestive tract and facilitate the growth of the epidermal lining and fibroblasts at the site of a healing ulcer. As such, Stomach Formula improves the speed and quality of ulcer healing, reduces erosive and hemorrhagic gastritis, and helps prevent their reoccurrence. It has also been shown pharmacologically to strongly inhibit the secretion of gastric acid, to effectively treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), as well as gastritis and peptic ulcers. Finally, Stomach Formula regulates the peristalsis of the digestive tract, thereby aiding in the treatment of chronic gastritis or dyspepsia due to functionally impaired digestion. Assessment via gastroscopic examination and biopsy confirmed Stomach Formula’s total effective rate at 86.03% in treating patients with chronic superficial gastritis, 84.00% for gastric ulcers, and 88.00% for duodenal ulcers. The clinical success rate was 89% effective based on patients’ improvement of symptoms and signs as judged by the standards of traditional Chinese medicine. Western Medical Presentation: Stomach formula is designed to treat chronic gastritis from the initial superficial stages to severe, erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis as well as peptic ulcers including gastric, duodenal and esophageal ulcers. Peptic ulcers are common. One in ten Americans will develop an ulcer at some point in his or her lifetime. Currently the main cause of both gastritis and peptic ulcers is believed to be Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. The presence of H. pylori has been detected in 86–99% of patients with chronic superficial gastritis, and in 90–100% of patients with duodenal ulcers. The most common symptom of H. pylori gastritis is abdominal pain and upset. Other symptoms include belching, abdominal bloating, nausea, vomiting or a feeling of fullness or burning in the upper abdomen. However, the majority of patients with H. pylori infection suffer no symptoms, even though the infection may eventually lead to ulcers. The primary symptom of a peptic ulcer is dull, gnawing, aching, abdominal pain that comes and goes for several days or weeks, usually occurs 2 to 3 hours after a meal or in the middle of the night (when the stomach is empty), is relieved by eating and by antacid medications. Other symptoms include weight loss, poor appetite, bloating, belching nausea, vomiting. After H. pylori, the second most common cause of chronic gastritis and peptic ulcers is the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), which cause both the inflammation and wearing away of the stomach lining. These commonly used painkillers, including aspirin, fenoprofen, ibuprofen and naproxen, can lead to erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis, as well as gastric and duodenal ulcers. Although even low doses of aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may cause some gastric upset, low doses generally will not lead to gastritis or ulcers. However, as many as 10–30% of patients on higher and more frequent doses of NSAIDS, such as those with chronic arthritis or other chronic pain conditions may develop gastritis or ulcers. Erosive gastritis from NSAIDS can develop suddenly but more commonly develops slowly, usually in people who are otherwise healthy. Other forms of erosive gastritis are caused by alcoholism, stress from surgery or critical illness, corrosive agents, or by injury to the stomach tissue from the ingestion of foreign bodies. Patients with erosive gastritis may also be asymptomatic. When symptoms do occur, they may include anorexia nervosa, gastric pain, nausea, and vomiting. Stomach Formula is beneficial for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), as well as occasional episodes of heartburn. In gastroesophageal reflux disease, stomach acid and enzymes flow backward from the stomach into the esophagus, causing inflammation and pain in the esophagus. Heartburn is the most obvious symptom of gastroesophageal reflux, and sometimes the pain behind the breastbone even extends to the neck, throat, and face. The heartburn may be accompanied by regurgitation, in which the stomach contents reach the mouth. Esophageal ulcers can result from repeated reflux, which present with pain that is usually located behind the breastbone or just below it, often indistinguishable from the pain of heartburn.
