However, during the Spring Festival, dinners with relatives and friends are indispensable. It's common for people at the dinner table not to know how to control themselves, and to eat too much and drink too much, which leads to food stagnation. Coupled with the cold weather, in order to keep warm, the human body will need to consume more calories to maintain its body temperature, so its appetite will become better, which will easily lead to indigestion and food accumulation.
As the saying goes, "Ten people have nine stomachs". Although this statement is exaggerated, the stomach, as an important digestive organ of the human body, is very easy to get sick and must be carefully cared for.
Many people are used to going to pharmacies to buy some Chinese patent medicines when their stomachs are uncomfortable, but they are too big to choose from the various drugs on the shelves.
Today, I will make a general summary of the commonly used Chinese patent medicines for the treatment of spleen and stomach. I hope that after reading them, you can make the right choice.
