The pathodynamics of these conditions involve Stomach Heat (or Damp-Heat), Qi stagnation (with Stomach Qi counterflow and Spleen-Stomach disharmony) and generally some degree of Liver constraint.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe underlying causes include dietary factors, emotional strain, and age related decline of the health Qi (notably the Spleen-Stomach). Inappropriate diet, such as excessive intake of fried, oily, rich foods and alcohol generate Heat or Damp-Heat in the Stomach. Prolonged or intense emotional strain (e.g. stress, anger, unfulfilled desires, etc.) causes Liver Qi constraint with resultant Qi stagnation in the middle Jiao, and\/or Liver Qi invasion of the Spleen-Stomach. According to the Nei Jing, at around 35 years in women and 40 years in men the health Qi begins to decline manifesting in a marked decline of Stomach function, amongst other things. These factors together make middle aged people particularly vulnerable to these two disorders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn order to focus the treatment on the actual disease process, the formula is directed primarily towards clearing Heat and regulating the Qi in the Spleen and Stomach, with only a minimal number of ingredients to tonify the Spleen-Stomach and soothe the Liver. Therefore, patients that present with pronounced Liver constraint or Spleen-Stomach Qi deficiency should also receive treatment with an additional formula as discussed above. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTCM ACTIONS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRegulates the Qi and harmonises the middle Jiao (Spleen \u0026amp; Stomach), redirects the Stomach Qi downward, clears Stomach Heat, clears Damp-Heat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTCM SYNDROMES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStomach Heat (or Stomach Damp-Heat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQi stagnation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpleen-Stomach disharmony (with Stomach Qi counterflow)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eINDICATIONS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNon-ulcer dyspepsia, reflux oesophagitis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSIGNS \u0026amp; SYMPTOMS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e(Key clinical features in bold)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eReflux with burning sensation ('heartburn')\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eEpigastric distending pain\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eSymptoms aggravated by eating and bending forwards\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eNausea\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eLoss of appetite\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed or red tipped tongue with a greasy coat that may also be yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePulse is wiry and may also be rapid.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHINAMED BY SUN HERBAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53802580640116,"sku":null,"price":35.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/7525\/7204\/files\/ChinaMed_20Reflux_20and_20Dyspepsia_20Formula_2078c_media-01.jpg?v=1773523294","url":"https:\/\/healthnook.com.au\/products\/chinamed-heartburn-relief-formula-78c","provider":"Healthnook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
