Dried mugwort leaves, take 15 grams, wash and chop. Beat 3 eggs in a bowl, add the mugwort leaves, and mix well with the egg liquid. Put a small amount of vegetable oil in a frying pan, heat the pan, then add the mixture and stir-fry until half-cooked. Add 500 ml of clear water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 5 minutes. Let the soup cool slightly before drinking. Generally, the pain can be significantly relieved in about 30 minutes. Drink it again using this method after 4 hours, and the stomach pain symptoms will disappear. I don't know if this is effective.
Yang Pu, a standing committee member of the Science Popularization Professional Committee of the Jiangsu Provincial Association of Chinese Medicine, commented: Mugwort leaves have the effects of warming the meridians to stop bleeding, dispelling cold, and relieving pain. Modern pharmacological research shows that mugwort is a broad-spectrum antibacterial and antiviral drug that has inhibitory and lethal effects on various viruses and bacteria. Therefore, it has a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect for cold-type stomach pain and stomach pain caused by certain bacteria.
However, there are many causes of stomach pain, such as stomach pain caused by dysfunction of the cerebral cortex (i.e., dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system that controls the stomach), stomach pain caused by gastric and duodenal ulcers, etc. These conditions are not suitable for using this folk remedy. Therefore, it is recommended to consult a Chinese medicine doctor with experience in diet therapy and specializing in spleen and stomach diseases before using this folk remedy to avoid misdiagnosis and mistreatment.
