45 year old Santos came to our clinic for his acid reflux problem. He has good appetite. Within one hour after he eats, acid would come to his throat/mouth and his chest would feel pressure pain. He was diagnosed with H. Pylori and his doctor put him on antibiotics. He was taking Protonix without too much help. His tongue showed pink, tendency to red, and moderate toward purple. He has thin white tongue coat.

He was prescribed the follow Chinese herbal formula in extract powders: jiang ban xia 7g; jiang zhu ru 7g; dai ze shi 7g; xuan fu hua 7g; wa leng zi 7g; wu zhu yu 7g; huang lian 5g; wu zhu yu 4g; bai hua she she cao 7; pu gong yin 7g; long dan cao 5; zhi gan cao 4g; chao bai shao 6g; zhi qiao 4g; chen pi 4g; hou po 4g; chuan xiong 4g; sha ren 4g; chai hu 4g

After the first week of taking the herbs, Santos reported that his acid reflux was 40% less. The same formula was used again for the second week. Santos felt much better then, a further 50% less of acid reflux. His bloating after eating was also significantly better. The third week's formula followed the similar pattern and Santos continued to improve.
