Objective: Chronic gastritis was treated with herbal pairs in order to reduce the side effects and raise the therapeutic effects.
Method: The outpatients were randomly divided into a treatment group treated with herbal pairs and a control group treated with Banxia Xiexin Tang (Pinellia Decoction for Purging the Stomach-fire).
Result: The total effective rate in the treatment group was 96%, higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: With the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine as guiding principles, herbal pairs have two-way regulatory effects, that is, reducing the side effects and raising the therapeutic effects.
