Chronic Gastritis
Chronic Gastritis

Q. I have no appetite and even the smell of food makes me feel sick.

A.

This condition indicates an accumulation of waste products (dampness/phlegm) in your stomach, which has weakened your Spleen and Stomach function. Rather than forcing yourself to eat, first soothe your stomach with easily digestible options like plum tea.

📝 Detailed Answer

식욕 부진은 위장이 '지금은 일할 수 없으니 음식을 보내지 마세요'라고 보내는 신호입니다.

이럴 때 보양식을 억지로 먹으면 오히려 탈이 납니다. 한 끼 정도 굶어 위장을 쉬게 하거나, 숭늉처럼 맑고 담백한 유동식으로 천천히 위장을 깨워주는 것이 지혜로운 대처법입니다.
