Abstract
This article focuses on the clinical efficacy and mechanism of action of heat-clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) in the treatment of erosive gastritis, providing a reference for the treatment of this disease. In the clinical treatment of erosive gastritis, TCM combinations such as Qing Gastric San, Semixia Diarrheal Heart Soup, and single-flavored heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs such as dandelion and Huanglian have specific efficacies and effectively improve the patient's symptoms, including killing or inhibiting Helicobacter pylori, reducing inflammatory reactions, protecting the gastric mucosa, inhibiting gastric acid secretion, regulating gastrointestinal hormones, and regulating immune function, playing therapeutic roles through multi-level and multi-target mechanisms. Thus, heat-clearing and detoxifying TCMs have broad application prospects in clinical practice for erosive gastritis.
