I am told I have atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia.

Please do not stop them on your own. Rebound can make it worse.

This is an ulcer pattern. We look at whether you have ever had it confirmed by endoscopy.

There are cases where it is related. However, we do not explain it by stress alone.

We apply them to the abdomen, back, hands and feet. During periods of heat sensation we adjust the moxibustion.

Acute cases two to four weeks; chronic cases we view in two- to three-month units.
