Warm needle acupuncture has been demonstrated to have significant clinical efficacy in treating chronic superficial gastritis (CSG) with spleen-stomach deficiency cold syndrome. Researchers from the Hunan Provincial Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine recently conducted a study comparing warm needle acupuncture treatment to oral Wenweishu capsules for CSG. Chronic superficial gastritis (CSG) is a condition characterized by ongoing inflammation of the outer layer of the stomach lining. This persistent inflammation can increase the risk of developing stomach ulcers and a type of cancer known as mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma.
