This article summarizes YAO Naili’ s experience in treating spleen and stomach disease. Spleen and stomach deficiency is the basis of spleen and stomach disease
so the treatment focuses on supplementing the spleen and stomach. Spleen and stomach disease is always associated with emotions
so harmonization should be used to regulate and harmonize liver and spleen in the treatment for spleen and stomach disease. Spleen and stomach are located in Zhongjiao( the middle energizer
中焦)
which should be treated by balance
to adjust the ups and downs of Yin and Yang
excess and deficiency
cold and heat
dryness and dampness etc. The diseases with characteristics of collateral disease should be treated from the perspective of collateral disease
such as atrophic gastritis and precancerous lesions
refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease
viral hepatitis and posthepatitic cirrhosis. Tongue and pulse should be focused during syndrome differentiation. He also advocates that the treatment should combine macroscopic syndrome differentiation with endoscopic microscopic manifestation.
