Traditional Chinese medicine is an effecient treatment for functional gastrointestinal diseases.
The mechanism of action of Chinese medicine is not completely clear. However, there is evidence that they can stimulate the secretion of the stomach and digestive glands through the taste system, the vagus nerve and the intestinal nervous system even at very low concentrations, and enhance the feedback stimulation of the central nervous system by the digestive tract through the intestinal nervous system. , thereby enhancing intestinal function. Large doses of Chinese medicine can even directly affect the gastrointestinal mucosa. Chinese herbal medicines often contain aromatic oils, while aromatic oils have the functions of relieving phlegm, ventilating catharsis and local pain relief.
In recent years, a number of controlled studies on Chinese herbal preparations (such as coriander oil, peppermint oil, ginger, and turmeric extracts) have shown that Chinese herbal medicines are superior to placebo in the treatment of functional gastrointestinal diseases, and those that promote gastrointestinal motility drugs. The effect is the same.
