ZHA Ansheng pointed out that elderly patients often have insufficient yin, and then suffer from gastric yin depletion and damage due to liver stagnation, dampness and heat, blood stasis, etc. The body fluid in the stomach is the foundation of the stomach, and the stomach's acceptance and ripening must de-pend on the stomach. If the Yin is nourished, the stomach Yin will no longer recover over time, and the stomach body will lose nourishment, and it will be unable to pass down and descend, leading to atrophy. In terms of treatment, the doctor proposed to use sweet, cool and moistening medicine to replenish the deficiency of stomach Yin and nourish the stomach collaterals, and then use methods such as soothing the liver and releasing heat, removing dampness and clearing heat, activating blood circulation and harmonizing collaterals to cleanse the stomach evil Qi and Yin.
