Why is the stomach upset when you are in a bad mood? The stomach is a very important digestive organ of the human body, with the role of temporarily storing food and initially digesting it into food grits. Our stomach wall is divided into 4 layers, from inside to outside, the mucous layer, submucous layer, muscular layer, and plasma membrane layer. The mucous layer plays a protective role for the stomach. The lining of the stomach also secretes gastric juice and digestive enzymes. There are also blood vessels and nerves in the lining of the stomach.

The digestive function of the stomach can be normal operation needs to meet several conditions, for example, healthy gastric mucosa, elastic smooth muscle of the stomach, the number of beneficial bacteria in the stomach, the activity of digestive enzymes in the gastric digestive juices, the normal function of the stomach nerves, the blood circulation of the stomach, if a variety of factors lead to the damage of these aspects of the gastric function of the decline in a variety of symptoms.

There are many factors that can cause stomach damage, such as long-term alcohol consumption, long-term irrational use of drugs, long-term consumption of stimulating foods, long-term irregular meals and overeating, and so on. Another important factor that can cause stomach damage is long-term mental tension and stress, because digestion in the stomach requires the participation of the vegetative nerves. Plant nerves are divided into sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves. The function of these two nerves is opposite, the stomach digestion is controlled by the parasympathetic nerve, if over-excited, nervous stress, bad mood, the sympathetic nerve will be strengthened, parasympathetic nerve energy is insufficient to cause the decline of gastric function, the situation of stomach discomfort. We need to pay attention to this.

Emotions are bad when the stomach is uncomfortable, this is a common condition in the Chinese medicine clinic, most of them are seen in female friends, but also in Chinese medicine said that the mood of the disease, for the friends to talk about the following.

First, in China's ancient times on the emotional causes of disease, there are a lot of literature records:

The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says, "The liver is a rigid organ."

Su Wen - Yin and Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun: "The liver ...... is anger in the will, and anger injures the liver."

In the book, it is said, "All depression must be preceded by gas disease, and when the gas is unblocked, what is there to be depressed about?"

The Golden Pillars of the Poverty is: "When a person who treats an unhealthy disease sees a disease of the liver, he knows that the liver spreads to the spleen, so he should first stabilize the spleen."

The above literature is sufficient to show that emotional illness can cause spleen and stomach discomfort. The liver is a rigid organ, the general's officer, the organ of wind and wood, and its nature is strong, preferring regulation to depression, and its qi is easily exuberant and easily reversible. As a result of frequent anger, anger hurts the liver, or due to life and work, depression, the liver likes to regulate and evil depression, must be the liver of the drainage of qi (qi up and down movement) abnormal. The liver is responsible for draining the qi of the spleen and stomach, the liver drains the spleen and stomach qi abnormally, the spleen qi is not allowed to rise, the stomach qi is not allowed to descend, the spleen and stomach qi rise and fall abnormally, the qi will be congested, forming the stagnation of the spleen and stomach qi, the spleen and stomach will be dysfunctional, the appearance of the epigastrium and abdominal distension, distension and pain, nausea (gastric qi upward), or diarrhea (the spleen does not rise and clear), the spleen can not transport (absorption of nutrients) the food essence of the micro-materials, the stomach can not be putrefied water and grains, you do not want to eat, once eaten, you are full. Satiety. If the spleen and stomach qi stagnation for a long time, the qi will be stagnant and heat, the liver and stomach heat, burning in the epigastrium (stomach), stomach qi upward, acid reflux, erosion of the symptoms, belching frequently, sighing for comfort. If the liver and stomach are depressed and hot for a long time, the heat will force the blood to travel vigorously, and bleeding will occur in the stomach, and heat and blood will be intertwined, and there will be stabbing pains in the stomach, with more intense pains.

The theory of the five elements:Liver is wood, spleen and stomach are earth, and wood (liver) restrains earth (spleen and stomach). When emotional disorders occur and depression and stagnation of qi occur, the spleen and stomach are violated, and the wood (liver) overly restrains the earth (spleen and stomach), that is, they multiply each other, and the wood multiplies the earth, resulting in the various symptoms of the spleen and stomach caused by the liver and stagnation of qi. This is also the theory mentioned in The Essentials of the Golden Chamber: "When you see a disease of the Liver, you know that it should be transmitted to the Spleen, and you should first stabilize the Spleen".

II. Etiology:Due to anger or life stress, depression, anger hurts the liver, liver evil depression, causing liver depression and stagnation of qi, liver depression across the spleen and stomach, spleen and stomach qi stagnation, causing epigastric distension, belching frequently, acid reflux and heartburn and a series of symptoms.

(Warm reminder: the text of the prescription is only for learning and communication, do not self-medication, responsibility, if you like Chinese medicine science and health please pay attention to this number!)

People in a bad mood when the stomach is not comfortable is a very common phenomenon, usually we often hear people say gas stomach ache or worry about not being able to eat, traditional Chinese medicine believes that this is due to emotional over-excitement or persistent unresolved resulting in viscera and qi disorders, dysfunctions and diseases caused by, known as the mood to disease.

Anger harms the liver and contemplation harms the spleen. Anger leads to increased qi and contemplation leads to qi stagnation. The liver is the main regulator and regulates the emotions, if the wishes are not fulfilled, the behavior is frustrated or the anger is not resolved, then the liver qi will be stagnant. The stomach receives and decays water and grains, and is obedient to descending, and the liver loses its discipline and violates the stomach, causing the stomach to lose its harmony and descending, which will result in the manifestation of liver-stomach disharmony, such as belching, aversion to grease and oil, distension of the stomach and epigastric region after eating, and pain in the two hypochondriums and the epigastric region. Spleen is the main transportation, as the source of qi and blood biochemistry, the pivot of qi lifting and lowering, if overthinking damage to the spleen qi or liver diarrhea negligence can lead to stagnation of the spleen and stomach. When the spleen is weak and does not transport, there will be little food, loose stools, and fullness in the stomach and epigastric region; when the spleen is weak and the qi is not smooth, and the qi is stagnant and blocked, there will be stomach pain and pressure.

Abnormal fluctuations in emotions and feelings over the body's physiological and psychological adaptability and regulatory capacity, not only can cause the occurrence of disease, but also aggravate or deteriorate the condition, so people in their daily lives should pay attention to regulate the spirit of nourishing sex, do not adore vanity, do not think of the power and influence, do not suffer from loss and gain, to maintain peace and open-mindedness and a pleasant and comfortable spirit, which is important for the strengthening of the body and health, the coordinated development of the body and the spirit of the importance of the development.

Often due to emotional upset stomach upset with liver and spleen disorders or liver and stomach disharmony performance, in addition to self-regulation of emotion, you can take some of the liver and spleen and stomach medication such as liver and stomach pills, free pills, Chaihu Liver Pills and so on.
