Reflux esophagitis is a pathological condition caused by the reflux of gastric or intestinal contents into the esophagus due to dysfunction of the anti-reflux mechanism at the gastroesophageal junction, leading to inflammation of the esophagus. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) attributes the onset of this disease primarily to emotional distress, dietary irregularities, and excessive fatigue.

The following points should be noted in the TCM treatment of reflux esophagitis:

1. Dietary adjustment: Follow the principle of "light, easily digestible, soft, and low in stimulation," and avoid spicy, greasy, tobacco, alcohol, and other irritating foods.

2. Lifestyle habits: Maintain good lifestyle habits, such as not lying down immediately after eating a full meal and avoiding overexertion.

3. Chinese herbal medicine treatment: Use Chinese herbal medicine under the guidance of a TCM practitioner to avoid self-purchasing and misuse.

4. Acupoint massage: Perform acupoint massage under the guidance of a professional to avoid accidental injury.

5. Pay attention to individual differences: The symptoms and causes of reflux esophagitis vary among different individuals, and the treatment methods also differ accordingly. It is important to consider these individual variations.
