Chaoza (Gastric discomfort with a sensation of emptiness and hunger, commonly known as "heart clamor"). Some cases are caused by phlegm in the stomach being stirred up by fire-heat; these should be treated with Erchen Tang (Two-Cured Decoction) with modifications. Some cases are caused by deficiency of Heart Blood; these should be treated with Danggui Buxue Tang (Dongquui Tonifies the Blood Decoction) with modifications. Some cases are caused by food stagnation and constraint; these should be treated with Xiangsha Pingwei San (Aucklandia and Amomum Powder to Calm the Stomach).
Most cases of Chaoza are due to phlegm being stirred up by fire-heat.
