Guest guest Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Well, my herbalists comment was 'Finger pointing at the moon is not the moon'!! He says Bupleurum is specifically used for ulcer/gastritis treatment especially from nervous origin, seldom if ever fails, and with peony treats the liver stagnation cause - which reassurance helps. I guess I could try a little decoction and watch closely - the sharp spasmodic pain has obviously subsided on my new patent gastric-coating linseed jelly goo - just a couple of minor head tosses after breakfast now. But now he is not ditracted by pain he is busy 'telling me about it' and acting very 'liverish' - hard to know what comes from where, such irritability may come from any abdominal discomfort. He lookd a bit bloated though too. What are the potential aetiologies for gastric ulcers in TCM? Stagnant liver attacking stomach??

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 It's OK, found a good page I think? http://www.tcmtreatment.com/images/diseases/peptic-ulcer.htm They use bupleurum and peony for stagnation types. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
