Nowadays, people of all ages have stomach problems, which is nothing new. In the view of TCM, although there are individual differences in the etiology and development of stomach diseases, the main cause of the disease lies in the lack of vitality, which makes the stomach lose vitality and dysfunction, and foreign pathogens take advantage of it to get sick. Therefore, the first step in treating stomach diseases is to nourish stomach qi. How to do if the stomach is often sour?

Many people have had acid reflux, but they just didn't take it seriously. Stomach acid is like a "troublemaker" and always likes to patronize everywhere. How to keep stomach acid honest?

Method 1: Don't eat too much and don't eat too late.

Overeating will increase the burden on the stomach, because the digestive function is disordered, the stomach empties slowly, food stays in the stomach, the pressure in the stomach rises, and food is more likely to flow back to the esophagus. The gastric emptying time is 3~4 hours. If you eat dinner late, the food in your stomach has not been emptied when you sleep, and if you lie down again, the food will easily flow back to your esophagus, so there are at least 3 hours before you go to bed. Loosening a belt after meals can also reduce abdominal pressure and reduce gastric acid reflux.

Method 2: Don't drink too much porridge.

For people who often have an acid stomach, liquid food is more likely to reflux, so drink less porridge.

Method 3: Cordyceps Lily Duck Soup

Ingredients: 3 grams of Cordyceps sinensis, 25 grams of lily, and 0/00 gram of duck meat/kloc.

Method: Stew the duck for 30 minutes, then add Cordyceps and Lily for 20 minutes. After seasoning, drink soup and eat cordyceps duck.

Efficacy: invigorating spleen and stomach, moistening lung and tonifying kidney.

Indications: patients with spleen and stomach weakness, lung and kidney deficiency and qi deficiency.

Method 4: Drink less strong tea and coffee, and it is best not to smoke.

Let's abandon the afternoon tea combination of coffee dessert, which will stimulate the stomach and produce more gastric acid. Smoking will hurt your stomach.

Method 5: Change sleeping posture to prevent reflux.

Choose a pillow with a height of 15-20cm, with the head higher than the chest, the esophagus higher and the stomach lower to prevent reflux; Choose to sleep on the left, the stomach is on the left side of the human body, and the position of lying on the left side of the stomach is low.

Method 6: Drink more stomach-nourishing tea.

Drink more chicory spicy seed leaf tea-made of chicory, clove, spicy wood leaf, mulberry leaf and Polygonatum odoratum.

Chicory spicy seed leaf tea contains clove oil and eugenol, and phenolic compounds have very strong antibacterial and adhesive properties, which are lethal to many bacteria, especially inhibiting the growth of Helicobacter pylori. Chicory spicy seed leaf tea can warm the stomach, strengthen the spleen, help digestion, and inhibit the activity of Helicobacter pylori, thus playing the role of bacteriostasis, anti-inflammation and helping to protect gastric mucosa.

(Remember that not only clove tea, but also ingredients are needed to match it. )

Cloves and Moringa leaves are warm, and people of different groups and constitutions can drink them except pregnant women and children. Drinking before meals can warm the stomach and strengthen the spleen; Drinking after meals can nourish the stomach and help digestion.
