How about catgut embedding in superficial gastritis?

First, catgut embedding therapy at acupoints is to embed catgut under the skin of corresponding acupoints, and use catgut to continuously stimulate acupoints, so as to achieve the purpose of regulating qi and blood, regulating viscera Yin and Yang, and preventing and treating diseases.
