清热化湿，理气止痛
Plain-Language Explanation:
- By clearing heat and dispelling dampness, this approach helps resolve “heat” and “dampness” in the body, reducing symptoms such as stuffy, sticky sensations, bitter and sticky taste, heavy body and fatigue, thick greasy tongue coating, and scanty yellowish urine.
- At the same time, it moves qi and relieves pain, helping the feeling of being “blocked” to dissipate, thus reducing epigastric oppression, distending pain or dull ache, post-meal bloating, belching with acid reflux, and nausea.
