Chinese medicine has a long history and accumulated rich clinical experience in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux (reflux esophagitis). Traditional Chinese medicine believes that reflux esophagitis is located in the esophagus, which is closely related to the spleen and stomach, and also has a certain relationship with other viscera, liver and lungs. The most common causes of the disease are improper diet, emotional failure, weakness of spleen and stomach, endogenous dampness and exogenous pathogens, and some ancient doctors believe that the occurrence of the disease is also related to the delay of exogenous pathogens and the instigation of endogenous pathogens.
