Introduction
Jineijin (Endothelium Corneum Gigeriae Galli) can generally be used to treat cholecystitis. Jineijin has effects such as promoting urination to eliminate calculi and strengthening the stomach to aid digestion, and can be used to treat conditions like food accumulation, gallbladder distension with flank pain, and pediatric malnutrition. Cholecystitis often causes bile concentration or impaired bile excretion, leading to reduced pancreatic enzyme activity and indigestion. Taking Jineijin under medical guidance may help improve these symptoms, but it usually only serves as an adjunctive treatment. Specific treatments targeting cholecystitis itself are still required.
Chicken gizzard lining (Fructus Galli Gypsaedos) can generally be used to treat cholecystitis, but it usually only serves as an adjunctive therapy. The detailed explanation is as follows:
Chicken gizzard lining has a neutral nature and functions to promote urination, dissolve stones, strengthen the stomach, and aid digestion. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as food stagnation, gallbladder distension with flank pain, and pediatric malnutrition. Cholecystitis often impairs gallbladder function, leading to bile concentration or impaired excretion, reduced pancreatic enzyme activity, and consequently poor fat digestion, resulting in indigestion. Under medical guidance, taking an appropriate amount of chicken gizzard lining may help improve these symptoms. However, its role is generally limited to supportive treatment. Specific treatments for cholecystitis are still required, including supplementation of pancreatic enzymes, enhancing pancreatic enzyme activity, and promoting bile secretion to relieve indigestion caused by cholecystitis.
It is recommended that patients with cholecystitis choose appropriate treatments under the guidance of a physician to facilitate recovery.
