Shoupeng Li believes that emotional instability, irregular diet, and prolonged illness can lead to stagnation of qi, “causing pain when not connected”, which in turn triggers epigastric pain. The main pathogenesis is qi stagnation, with a focus on spleen ascending and stomach descending disorders, as well as liver dysfunction and diarrhea. The treatment method is to soothe the liver and spleen, harmonize the stomach and relieve pain. The self-formulated formula, Futongning, is used as the main formula for treatment. The formula uses Xin Wen and Ku Han drugs to regulate qi, and the combination of drugs enhances the therapeutic effect. He also pays attention to emotional regulation and regular diet and daily life, so as to coordinate the functions of the organs, regulate the qi of the whole body, “unobstructed flow means no pain”, and achieve the goal of eliminating stomach pain. The therapeutic effect is significant.
