Acupuncture for Chronic Gastritis

--Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine for Gastritis

New York’s World Journal news: Dr. Decheng Chen has extensive experiences in acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine for treating chronic gastritis. During his three years of postdoctoral research for his PhD, Dr. Decheng Chen has systematically studied methods of chronic gastritis treatments. Dr. Decheng  Chen thinks that acupuncture therapy can improve the local dynamics and blood circulation of the stomach to enhance gastric nutrition. The herbal medicine can boost immunity to clear the Helicobacter pylori bacteria, so that the gastric mucosa lesions can heal. Acupuncture regulates the stomach locally, and Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine regulates systemically, these two kinds of treatments complement each other (See picture).
