People in middle age, in order to live, running around, hungry and full, or for the work of a large number of people, it is inevitable that our spleen and stomach, a series of spleen and stomach discomfort.

I. A brief discussion of the symptoms and pathogenesis of spleen deficiency:

1. Face: the splendor of the spleen is in the face.The spleen is weak, yellowish color, no luster, people look haggard, the doctor said "yellow face main spleen disease".

2, lips: spleen opening and lipsSpleen deficiency with no source of Qi and blood biochemistry, pale lips.

4. Salivation: the spleen is salivating in liquid.Salivation (that is, drooling) occurs when the spleen is weak. Especially those with facial paralysis salivate often.

5. Digestion: the spleen is responsible for transporting and clearing.Spleen deficiency decreases the function of transportation and digestion of the spleen and stomach, resulting in distention and fullness of the waist and abdomen, and failure to digest finished grains. When food is eaten and not digested, the stomach feels distended and full, sometimes with a bad taste. The spleen is the master of ascension and purification, and the food that enters the mouth is putrefied (that is, digested) in the stomach, and the subtle substances (nutrients) absorbed from the food are originally uploaded from the spleen to the heart and lungs, and then the heart and lungs transmit the subtle substances (nutrients) throughout the whole body. However, if the spleen is deficient, these subtle substances (nutrients) cannot be transported upward, and can only go down with the dregs (food residue) with the stool, resulting in porridge-like or watery stools, which is also known as Spleen Deficiency (with Dampness) Diarrhea.

6. Wasting away, the child does not grow:Spleen deficiency can not upload the essence (nutrients) to the heart and lungs, and transmit them to the whole body, and the whole body can not get the essence (nutrients), so the body will be thin. Children with spleen deficiency have poor absorption, and the spleen is the foundation of the later life. When the later life is deprived of nourishment, some children will be shorter than their peers. It is also common to see such children in outpatient clinics, who usually do not want to eat, are picky eaters, love to eat snacks, and do not grow. By regulating the spleen and stomach, the diet increases, and gradually gain weight.

7. Poop:Watery stools, porridge-like stools, or stools that are unpleasant and stick to the toilet 🚽. It is caused by a deficiency of the spleen that cannot elevate the clear and descend the turbid.

8. Bleeding: the spleen is the main regulator of blood.When the spleen is deficient and cannot control blood, blood overflows outside the veins, resulting in various hemorrhagic signs. Such as blood overflow in the skin, skin purpura, women's spleen does not unify the blood menstrual flow, or leakage. There are also bleeding gums, bleeding hemorrhoids, hemoptysis, vomiting blood and so on.

9. Weakness and disease: the spleen is the foundation of the latterWhen the spleen is deficient, the body's power to defend itself against external evils is reduced (decreased immunity). There are frequent colds, rarely high fever, and slow to get well. Frequent illness and slow recovery.

10. The spleen is the master of the limbs and muscles 💪:Spleen deficiency fails to nourish the limbs and muscles, resulting in tiredness of the limbs, muscle wasting and lack of strength.

11. The spleen is in the mind as thought:Too much thinking will hurt the spleen, and a weak spleen will not think about food and eating.

12. pulse:Weakness of the right Guan vein. (That's the fluctuation of the blood vessels at the front of the right upper limb against the medial aspect of the high bone on the thumb side)

Second, the above basic theories of Chinese medicine for you to talk about the various symptoms of spleen deficiency in the vernacular, the following we then talk about how to replenish the spleen.

5,Sticky mouth. Spleen deficiency.There will be a different feeling in diet and taste from those with normal spleen and stomach functions. If the spleen is not healthy, then there will be a loss of appetite and a lack of taste in the mouth, and if the spleen is weak and the dampness traps the spleen and the qi, then there will be a feeling of sweetness and stickiness in the mouth.

In severe spleen deficiency, there may bedeficiency of both qi and bloodThe situation of dizziness, dizziness, pale lips and tongue, insomnia and dreams, etc., greatly affecting the physiological function of the human body.

Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is the foundation of the latter day, so the spleen deficiency must be actively regulated and treated, so as not to affect the health of the body.

Spleen deficiency is a concept in Chinese medicine, and many people are told that they have a weak spleen when they go to see a Chinese doctor, but they feel nothing. In fact, many of the symptoms that people take for granted may be signs of spleen deficiency.

What are the symptoms of a weak spleen, and how can middle-aged people quickly replenish their spleen?

As early as in the "Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine", it is pointed out that the spleen is the foundation of the latter day, the main transportation, angry blood. The so-called "transportation" means transportation, absorption and digestion. And anger blood refers to the role of blood regimentation, in addition to the role of water metabolism. Therefore, if the spleen is healthy, it can be manifested as red lips and lips, warm and powerful limbs, etc., and can be manifested as fast digestion and absorption and regular menstruation.

Why do people have a weak spleen?

Spleen deficiency is a slowly progressing process. Initially, it may only be a deficiency of the spleen qi, which is not easy to be detected, and if it can be detected and regulated in time, it can be stopped from further deterioration. However, if no attention is paid to it, it will slowly develop into spleen yang deficiency, and then it will be more difficult to regulate it. The occurrence of spleen deficiency is largely related to people's daily habits, especially in the present day, there are a lot of people who have spleen deficiency at a young age, but they just don't know it.

Habits that can lead to spleen deficiency include: improper diet, such as irregular diet, starving, overeating, favoring fatty, sweet, thick and greasy foods, etc.; excessive consumption of alcohol; overthinking, repression of sensitivity, stress and other bad emotions; indulgence; overwork, prolonged staying up late, etc., which can injure the spleen and lead to spleen deficiency.

What are the symptoms of a weak spleen?

Based on the several roles of the spleen, a loss of nourishment of the spleen will lead to poor transportation and digestion, poor qi and blood chemistry, etc. In the long run, the body will definitely have problems.

1. Common outward manifestations in the early stages:For example, thick and greasy tongue fat, with teeth marks; loss of appetite, early satiety, bloating; sticky stools are not shaped, the toilet can not be filled clean; dizziness in the morning; weakness of the limbs, depressed, tired, less speech; dull and lifeless; easy to sleep, drooling and so on, these symptoms are very common, but it is easy to be ignored.

2. Common intrinsic manifestations in later stages:If the spleen qi deficiency is not regulated in time, it will continue to deteriorate, and then appear some symptoms, such as may breed phlegm and dampness, leading to edema, etc., and in the long run will also induce a variety of chronic diseases; it will also lead to insufficient qi and blood, which is commonly manifested in women as irregular menstruation, cold hands and feet.

How should I regulate my spleen deficiency?

Whether you are a person of any age and want to manage spleen deficiency, you have to start with lifestyle interventions and medication if necessary.

Nowadays, people are most prone to spleen deficiency, almost reaching the point of nine out of ten people, why do you say so?

In Chinese medicine, "thinking hurts the spleen", today's fast-paced life, work, life stress, thinking too much. Invisibly increase the possibility of "spleen deficiency". At the same time, due to the improvement of material conditions, most people have the habit of overeating, also to a large extent hurt the spleen.

So what are the symptoms of spleen deficiency?

First of all, spleen deficiency people easy to get fat, due to the spleen qi weakness, the overall metabolism is weak, in western medicine called the basal metabolic rate is low, due to slow metabolism, eat the same food spleen deficiency people may be more prone to get fat some.

Secondly, people with spleen deficiency are also prone to indigestion. The main function of the spleen is digestion. If the spleen is deficient, the digestion of water and grain food will be weakened, and the food eaten may not be digested for a long time, which manifests itself as bloating, poor digestion, nausea after eating too much, and even reflux of gastric contents.

Furthermore, a weak spleen will lead to low immunity. If the spleen is weak, the absorption of food nutrients will be weakened, in which case, it is easy to have insufficient nutrient intake, leading to low immunity, which in turn is easy to have colds and other symptoms.

So how do you do a quick spleen tonic?

Quickly replenish the spleen, relatively speaking, or through the effect of some drugs to come faster. Here we mainly recommend two kinds of Chinese medicines which are more effective:Jianzhong Yiqi Pill和Ginseng and Atractylodes Pills (decoction of poria mushroom used in TCM)However, both drugs are used to treat spleen deficiency. However, comparatively speaking, Ginseng and Atractylodes Pills are a bit more mild in action, so if the patient is extremely weak, he/she may consider taking Ginseng and Atractylodes Pills for long term conditioning.

Hi, I'm happy to answer your question.

In Chinese medicine, there are four types of deficiency of the spleen: spleen qi deficiency, spleen yang deficiency, spleen qi deficiency and spleen not regulating blood. Their performance is not the same. I will introduce them below:

Spleen qi deficiency: the main manifestation is "qi deficiency + spleen deficiency", "qi deficiency": tiredness, fatigue, obvious after activity, spleen deficiency: less food, abdominal distension, loose stools. However, some people do not have all three symptoms of spleen deficiency, so as long as the main evidence of "qi deficiency" is grasped together with these three symptoms and identified, it can be judged.

Spleen yang deficiency: it is on the basis of spleen qi deficiency plus the characteristics of cold, this kind of patients are more difficult in winter, or the manifestation of cold pain in the stomach and epigastric epigastric cavity is obvious, eat a little bit of warm food will be comfortable, it is also very good to judge.

The spleen does not regulate blood: this deficiency can be understood literally, that is, there are symptoms of bleeding in the body, such as Chinese medicine, "vomiting, epistaxis (nosebleed), stool, urine, collapse (vaginal bleeding). These bleeding symptoms can be determined if they are accompanied by the manifestation of spleen qi deficiency.

Spleen deficiency and qi subsidence: this syndrome is caused by further aggravation of spleen qi deficiency, such as the presence of heavy abdominal drop, or prolapse, yin ting (uterine prolapse).

Here's what middle-aged people say about replenishing the spleen.

Above I have described the four signs of spleen deficiency, and you can see that the key to spleen deficiency is spleen qi deficiency. Therefore, spleen tonic for middle-aged people should start from protecting and tonifying spleen qi. Many spleen tonics are both food and medicine, such as Chinese yam, lotus seed, millet, Job's tears, Gorgon fruit and jujube. Therefore, tonifying the spleen is the most suitable way to be reflected and carried out in life and diet.

In addition to replenish the spleen from the physiological and pathological characteristics of the spleen, the spleen likes dryness and evil dampness, the stomach likes moist and evil dryness. Chinese medicine says that the grain helps the stomach qi, wheat helps the spleen qi. Rice is grown in the field, so it is sweet and moist, able to nourish the stomach, because the stomach likes moist and evil dry; wheat is grown in the dry land, so wheat is healthy spleen, because the spleen likes dry and evil wet, so the spleen eat noodles, stomach eat rice.

Spleen deficiency is categorized into spleen qi deficiency, spleen yang deficiency, and spleen not regulating blood.

Spleen-Qi deficiency: Main symptoms: easy to be weak in general, easy to be sleepy after meals. Weakness of the hands and feet, little food and fat, sometimes also can be thin. Stools are not shaped and drooling in bed.

The main symptoms of Spleen-Yang deficiency: cold hands and feet, fear of cold. Eating cold food or getting cold easily bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea.

Spleen does not regulate Blood: main symptom: does not stop bleeding easily or excessive menstruation.

Middle-aged people should pay attention to spleen tonic: spleen qi deficiency can eat some ginseng nourishing glory pill, ginseng spleen pill. Spleen yang deficiency people eat less cold food, drink more hot porridge and warming the role of cold food. Such as beef and mutton. The spleen does not regulate blood, mainly to tonify the spleen qi, qi and blood is the main. You can eat some red dates, ginseng spleen pills.

At the same time usually must eat a balanced diet, regular diet, do not overeat. Keep a good state of mind. Pay attention to rest. Moderate exercise, quit smoking and limit alcohol.

In Chinese medicine theory, the kidney is the foundation of the innate and the spleen is the foundation of the acquired. The importance of the spleen is evident from the fact that all the substances needed for the composition of the human body in the latter day depend on the spleen. The spleen has the function of regulating the blood of the whole body and is the place where qi and blood are generated. The Spleen is also responsible for the transportation of water and dampness. Therefore, when the Spleen is deficient, people will have some states that are unique to Spleen deficiency. The spleen can control the blood, so when the spleen is weak, there will be bleeding spots on the skin, the spots are large pieces of purpura petechiae. Small bleeding spots will be more than ten, generally speaking, the body of the small bleeding spots in ten or less is normal, more than more is the spleen does not rule the blood of a state. In women, there will be irregular menstruation, often with delayed menstruation, prolonged bleeding, and disorganization. At this time, tonifying the qi and strengthening the spleen can achieve the effect of stopping bleeding. Ecchymosis often occurs for unknown reasons and without trauma.

The spleen is the place where Wei Qi and Ying Blood are generated. Generated Ying Qi into the heart chakra will generate Zong Qi, there is the effect of promoting the function of the heart, so when the spleen is weak will produce insufficient heart blood insufficient heart qi insufficient heart function of a weak image will be insufficient blood supply people will have some palpitations heart panicky feeling, there will also be insomnia dreamy, sweaty chest skin will also have the manifestation of anemia, white face, eyelids white, nails white, hair dry glossy bad image. Blood replenishment will not be so fast, because the cycle of blood cell generation is one hundred and twenty days, so blood replenishment must be three or four months to achieve a good effect, you can supplement the medicinal food, eat some pig liver these. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that.

The spleen is responsible for the transportation of water and dampness. When the spleen is not healthy, there will be edema, usually eyelid edema. And the skin edema a bubble look, because the spleen transportation is not enough, the qi and blood to promote the role is not good. The blood will flow outside the veins to produce bleeding spots and spots, water and moisture overflow in the muscle surface will have some edema appearance. The edema caused by the spleen's lack of transportation can be eliminated by using medicines that move qi and diuresis. Let the water-dampness and blood that overflowed on the surface of the muscles return to the blood veins.

Then the Spleen, which is responsible for the digestive function of transportation and digestion, will have some dullness and little food. The phenomenon of not transforming finished grains, that is, not being able to eat much, when you eat, the stomach is overpowered, and when you have a bowel movement, what you eat is still what comes out, and there will be the phenomenon of not transforming finished grains. Poor digestion. At the same time because of insufficient blood and qi people's memory will also decline, at the same time there will be some changes in mood, there will be overthinking the image, causing neurasthenia, hair loss and poor sleep, weak and timid, can not listen to the loud live and noisy. Will also be afraid to look at sharp objects, these symptoms are unique to the spleen deficiency. It is then possible to improve the function of the spleen and stomach through medicine and food. The relationship between the spleen and stomach is yin and yang, the relationship between the five viscera and six bowels, the spleen is a dirty, the stomach is dirty, the spleen is to hide the blood and qi for the use of the stomach is to pass down for and. The spleen is a dirty organ and the stomach is a dirty organ. The spleen is used to store qi and blood and the stomach is used to pass and descend.

The medication can be chosen to attribute to the spleen and stomach meridians will be able to induce the meridian and treatment effect.

The spleen and stomach are the foundation of the human body

Spleen and stomach qi is the basis of life, since ancient times, the treatment of disease pay attention to support the right to eliminate evil, to support the right to make up for the spleen and stomach, spleen and stomach qi enough to go to attack the evil. Spleen's position in the middle jiao, the main transportation of water and grain essence, for the person's qi and blood source of biochemistry, so it is known as the 'official of the granary', 'the base of the day after tomorrow'.

The role of the spleen: the spleen is the main ascension of the clear, regulating the blood, the main transportation of water and grain, water and moisture, in the will for the thought, in the liquid for the saliva, in the body and muscle, the main limbs, in the orifices for the mouth, and its Hua in the lips. After understanding the basic functions of the spleen, we will look at the spleen deficiency.

The root cause of spleen deficiency:

Spleen deficiency is a condition in which the function of the spleen appears to be low and is unable to accomplish its normal work. So what exactly causes spleen deficiency?

There are different pathologies that cause spleen deficiency, a few of which are briefly described.

The characteristics of the spleen are "like dryness and hate dampness". The spleen and stomach are divided into yin and yang, with the spleen as the yin soil and the stomach as the yang soil. Spleen's yang is easy to decline, yin is easy to flourish, the spleen and the main transportation of water, but dampness invades the body, it is most likely to hurt the spleen yang. Spleen yang weakness, not only can cause dampness and turbidity trapped inside, but also easy to cause external dampness invasion, dampness is too strong to lead to the spleen can not transport water dampness.

Dietary disorders. In terms of diet, too hungry, too full, too cold, too hot will cause the dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, and in the long run, the spleen and stomach with deficiency.

Worrying and overworking. Spleen in the five wills for thought, the main limbs and muscles, so excessive worry and labor will damage the spleen qi, causing spleen deficiency.

Symptoms of spleen deficiency:

Spleen deficiency has spleen yin deficiency, spleen yang deficiency, spleen qi deficiency, etc. The general symptoms are slightly biased and should be dialectically combined with the systemic symptoms. It is written in Suwen: "When the spleen is sick, it is good at hunger, impotence of flesh, heaviness of the body, lack of collection of the feet, walking well , and pain under the feet; if it is deficient, it is fullness of the abdomen, intestinal tinnitus, supper leakage, and food is not transformed." Common symptoms of spleen deficiency include sticky, loose stools, weakness in the limbs, yellow face, poor diet, pale, fat tongue with teeth marks, and even symptoms such as gastroptosis and bleeding.

How to replenish the spleen?

The "Nei Jing" believes that: "the spleen of the combined meat, its glory lips, loss of the spleen is muscle thinning, diet can not be skin. Therefore, it is appropriate to regulate its diet, appropriate cold and temperature, the spleen wants to slow down, emergency food Gan to slow down, to Gan complement, to bitter diarrhea."

It is not a one-day process to replenish the spleen, and it takes a while to correct bad habits in work and rest and diet, and to regulate the spleen.

Prescription: Ginseng Ling Bai Zhu San, Si Jun Zi Tang, Liu Jun Zi Tang, tonifying the middle and benefiting the qi, or Gui Spleen Tang with additive reduction

Recipe: Ling Jujube Yam Porridge

Poria, jujube, yam, round-grained rice, white lentil, tangerine peel, brown sugar to taste.

Decoction of the above medicines to remove the dregs, use the medicinal broth to cook porridge, add appropriate amount of brown sugar can be eaten with meals.

The spleen and stomach play a vital role in a person's health, and it is useless for a person with a bad spleen and stomach to eat more nutrients because they are not absorbed effectively. People with a well-functioning spleen and stomach are able to maintain very healthy qi and blood. A person with a weak spleen and stomach absorbs less nutrients and has a weaker immune system than someone with a healthy spleen and stomach.

So what are the signals that the body will show when there are problems with the spleen and stomach? What are the symptoms that someone with a weak spleen will experience?

1. Loose stools

One of the more typical symptoms of spleen deficiency is loose stools, which are often accompanied by symptoms of dampness in the body. A weak spleen and stomach are unable to transport water and dampness, leading to the drainage of dampness and heat, which results in the formation of loose stools.

2. Constipation

Some people with a weak spleen will have diarrhea and loose stools, while others may be at the other end of the spectrum - constipated. In Chinese medicine, there is a condition known as "spleen contraction", which is mainly characterized by constipation. Spleen deficiency causes dryness of the intestinal fluids, which leads to hard, astringent stools.

3. Easily bloated

When the intestines and stomach of a person with a weak spleen are weak, the digestive system will be affected and indigestion will lead to symptoms of bloating. When the temperature drops, cold enters the body and chilling the spleen and stomach can also lead to symptoms of bloating, sometimes accompanied by pain.

4. Dry white lips

People with spleen deficiency will also react in their facial color. People with a healthy spleen and stomach have red lips, while those with a weak spleen and stomach tend to have dry, cracked, white, bloodless lips, thick and greasy tongue coating, and often feel dry and bitter in the mouth.

5. Tiredness and sleepiness

As people with spleen deficiency are often unable to transport water and dampness due to weak spleen function, it makes dampness heavier in the body. As a result, people with a weak spleen are often accompanied by symptoms such as weakness, drowsiness, lightheadedness, and sometimes sweating.

So what should people with a weak spleen do to improve their spleen and stomach health?

1. Healthy routine and eating habits

A healthy routine can help regulate the balance of the body's endocrine system, and healthy eating habits can make the body's intake of nutrients balanced. Eating regularly and in moderation without overeating can ensure the normal functioning of the spleen and stomach. An irregular diet or frequent overeating will make the already weak spleen even weaker. Diet should also be light, eat less heavy and cold food, and eat more food that replenishes the spleen and benefits the qi, such as red dates, yam, barley, and so on.

2. Keep warm when cold

Chinese medicine believes that the dampness will have a greater impact on people with cold spleen and stomach, especially in the winter time, the cold invades the human body will have an impact on the spleen and stomach, therefore, pay attention to warmth when the weather is cold, usually drink more hot water and eat less cold food.

3. Proper exercise

Spleen deficiency can also be appropriate to do some exercise to help the spleen and stomach for digestion, can walk after meals or do yoga before going to bed, stretching the muscles and bones at the same time can also maintain the body shape, promote digestion, you can also appropriate aerobic exercise.
