In China's Chinese medicine theory, the spleen and stomach are very important organs, the spleen and stomach reside in the middle jiao, and each other, the relationship is inextricably linked, but there are differences in function. Spleen is the basis of the transport of the latter day, the stomach is the organ of digestion, the stomach into the grains, digestion, while the spleen and stomach of the Department of the nutrient transported to all parts of the body, the spleen main clear, the stomach main turbid, the two organs together to complete the digestion of water and grains, absorption, transmission and biochemistry of the function of qi and blood.

Why do you have a weak spleen and stomach?

For the study of the spleen and stomach of the most famous ancient famous doctors, no more than the famous doctors of the Jin Dynasty Li Dongyuan, he is the history of traditional Chinese medicine Jin Yuan one of the four great masters, but also the founder of the doctrine of the spleen and stomach, in the "spleen and stomach theory" he once talked about--

If you do not eat and drink properly, your stomach will be sick, and if your stomach is sick, you will have shortness of breath and less spirit to produce great heat, and sometimes the fire will go up. The stomach is sick, the spleen is not endowed, the spleen is dead Yin, not the main time, so also thus sick. Physical labor is the spleen disease, spleen disease is lazy and sleepy, limbs do not collect, stool and diarrhea; spleen is sick, then the stomach can not only line fluid, so also thus sick.

To give a general idea, why the stomach will be uncomfortable, because the diet is not regulated, and the stomach if there is a problem, the stomach has a problem, indigestion, the spleen is not enough nutritional supplements, the spleen's health will follow the problem; and if the mental or physical overwork, the health of the spleen will be affected, the spleen, if there is a problem, the nutrients for the digested can not be transported into the qi and blood in a timely manner, and the stomach's health will be The health of the stomach will also be affected. Therefore, dietary disorders injure the stomach, overwork injures the spleen, and the problem of a weak spleen and stomach is often closely related to poor living habits.

What are the usual symptoms of a weak spleen and stomach?

Whether the spleen and stomach are weak or not requires a clear TCM diagnosis, and a list of possible symptoms is given for your reference:

Friends with weak spleen and stomach problems, often eat less, and easy to appear after meals bloating symptoms, the body is usually thinner; there is also a situation, is to eat less, but will be fat, this fat, is due to poor transportation and digestion caused by obesity, although fat, but the whole body is weak, body fatigue, which is also why some friends "drink cold water are long meat! This is one of the reasons why some friends "drink cold water are long meat".

Weakness of the spleen and stomach is often accompanied by problems with the bowels. If there is a deficiency of yang in the spleen and stomach, it is easy to have thin stools and diarrhea. And if you have stomach yin deficiency and fire exuberance, you are likely to haveStomach indigestionProblems with dry stools.

Weakness of the spleen and stomach usually leads to problems in the lungs. Spleen belongs to the earth and lung belongs to the gold; a weak spleen and insufficient earth also leads to insufficient gold in the lungs, which makes it easy for coughing, shortness of breath and other problems to occur. If the spleen and stomach are weak for a long time, it may also lead to the problem of the sinking of the middle qi. The deficiency of the middle qi leads to the prolapse of the internal organs, such as gastric prolapse, uterine prolapse and other syndromes, the root cause of which may be the sinking of the middle qi caused by the weakness of the spleen and stomach.

Weaknesses of the spleen and stomach are most often found in children, and I will use children as an example below.

I. Causes of weak spleen and stomach

The body of the child is young and yin and young and yang, with vigorous vitality and insufficient stability, and the spleen and stomach belong to the earth. It is susceptible to the following factors

(1) Pediatric character, bad temper. Three-year-old children's character has been formed. Spoiled, neglected, children lack of which things can not do the lesson. This is a liver in Chinese medicine, wood and earth, the spleen and stomach will be weak.

How to discipline? First, the principle of punishment, that is, not eating to starve him a meal, not ruthless is to harm him, drowning the son as killing the son. Second, the principle of hunger. Four times want to get the child to be safe, often have to three hunger and cold. Even if the child is very obedient, did not mess with you, but also to limit the amount of regular meals he ate, not to mention snacks, a month to eat a snack, even if the pro-mother.

If you fail to discipline, the child is grumpy, always disliking the regular meals made by mom are not good, even eat snacks until they are full, and when the meal time comes, they can not eat at all. If you wake up to educate him. He relies on a cry, two or three hunger strikes to get snacks. If you succeed in defeating, the soft-hearted mom, congratulations relationship, successfully made the Chinese medicine spleen deficiency and liver exuberance model.

If you've given up on the idea of pediatric snacking with the ruthlessness of a later mother, but find that your child's interest in food has dropped considerably. Eat a few bites of rice, and then do not eat, although no more snacks, the child has been thin and less mobile. Poor immunity, easy to catch a cold.

At this point, you can use food therapy to ease the liver and strengthen the spleen.

For soursop leaves, use fresh soursop leaves, most often used as a flavoring agent for fish. When I was a child, when I was brushed by a poisonous caterpillar and became red and swollen, I used soursop leaves to detoxify the poison. It can be seen that Sue leaves are indeed good for both medicinal and food purposes.

Coriander, pictured above, also known as cilantro, is given to children's meals, and adding more of it can ease the liver and open the stomach, as well as relieve the epidermis and penetrate rashes. It is the main condiment in Shandong mutton soup.

② hunger and satiety inappropriate. In the era before the 80's, children often do not have enough to eat, near the New Year's festivals to guests, often get the opportunity to eat, if you eat too much, you will eat and drink to hurt the stomach. One meal to eat hurt, ten meals to drink soup. Therefore, usually never eat enough, or a few consecutive days without access to food, do not eat full, eat full may be life-threatening, after a big thirst, but also never drink a lot of water, may be water intoxication.

Spleen and stomach deficiency caused by injured food should be regulated by Chinese herbs. The first and foremost Chinese medicine is San Xian. The three immortals are hawthorn, malt, and shenqu. Simply meat, pasta and everything else, and malt can detoxify the liver, hawthorn will stimulate the liver to secrete a lot of digestive juices, Shen Qu is by microbial fermentation, so that a large number of yeast to help you distract the over-eating of food.

Injured food has stomach bloating, vomiting and rotting and swallowing acid, and diarrhea. Anyway, it's painful, eat less next time, injured food is the best antidote to spleen and stomach deficiency.

II. Spleen and Stomach Deficiency Countermeasures

①Chinese herbal remedies. What if the spleen and stomach are already weak? If it is serious, you must come to a Chinese medicine practitioner for prescription of Chinese herbs.

The following discussion of mild spleen and stomach deficiencies prefers Sijunzi Tang, which is ginseng and lingzhao. However, there are no adult medicines.

Xiangsha Nourishing Stomach Pill is available. The main ingredient is Six Gentlemen with Fragrant Sand. Mu Xiang, Sha Ren, all can wake up the spleen and open the stomach. Six Jun, i.e. Si Jun Zi plus Er Chen Tang, is good at transforming water-dampness, and the spleen and stomach i.e. generating dampness.

In addition, according to statistics, there are more than 200 symptoms of spleen deficiency, such as nausea, diarrhea, insomnia, gastroptosis, pediatric hernia, obesity, menorrhagia, anemia, spermatorrhea, and so on.

Each symptom is treated by adding and subtracting Si Jun Zi Tang.

Thanks for the invite.

With the deterioration of modern life and diet, spleen and stomach weakness is now a lot of people's weakness, do not think that appetite to eat a lot of people must have a healthy spleen and stomach, they can be said to have a good appetite, but not necessarily spleen and stomach health, even if you eat a lot of may not be able to better as the "essence of the micro", can not be better to "transportation" and absorption. "Transportation" and absorption, may often appear in some common situations, such as even if not eat much also feel full stomach and bloating, but also non-stop growth of meat, or eat a lot of food also do not see the growth of meat, absorption ability is very poor. So what should we do to regulate the weakness of the spleen and stomach?

In fact, the article mentioned at the outset, most of the reasons for the bad spleen and stomach in the eating habits and lifestyle, the spleen and stomach is very important to us, in traditional medicine is known as "the foundation of the day after tomorrow", if the spleen and stomach is not good, we have poor absorption and digestion, nutrient absorption capacity is insufficient, the body's health will gradually disintegrate, so the spleen and stomach is not a loss to us. Nourishing the spleen and stomach is not a loss for us. Stomach seven points rely on nutrition, do not squander it, in the event of a problem to come back to cure.

If you feel that you have a low gut capacity, pay attention to the following points:

① Be sure to eat at regular intervals, don't skip a meal.

The stomach is the most afraid of irregular meals organ, the stomach also has its own work time and rest time, if always irregularly eating is very easy to break the stomach's routine, the organ's routine and we go to work the same way, if you always go to work when the company said to take a vacation, the company forced you to come back to work on your vacation, are you not going to be crazy to go on strike? Irregular meals are also very easy to hurt the gastric mucosa, for example, in the time we should be eating our stomach empty, the stomach continues to grind may grind to the stomach wall, damage to the mucosa, long-term will increase the chances of gastric ulcers, gastritis, gastric acid secretion is also useless, may also cause acid reflux heartburn.

② Avoid cold, spicy and stimulating foods, and consume foods rich in dietary fiber.

Visceral muscles are smooth muscle, smooth muscle is the most sensitive to temperature stimulation, if often intake of cold stimulation of food, may cause smooth muscle spasm, resulting in gastrointestinal discomfort, for example, gastrointestinal weak friends ate ice-cream, may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, and even release diarrhea reaction. A lot of friends like to eat spicy friends better not often over eat spicy, spicy is not actually a flavor, but the mucous membrane to cause stimulation to form a burning sensation, so excessive chili pepper on the gastric mucous membrane is bound to be stimulated, long-term so will also damage the gastric mucous membrane. Although we all promote food rich in dietary fiber, but dietary fiber can not be directly digested and absorbed by the stomach and intestines, will delay the speed of food digestion, increase the digestive burden of the stomach, so the weak stomach and intestines of friends is not suitable for excessive intake of dietary fiber rich foods, such as grains and cereals porridge, coarse grains, potatoes, these foods in moderation on the good.

(iii) All are seven minutes full, not overeating.

If the frequent overeating, will often support against the gastric mucosa, too much food will also increase the digestive burden of the stomach, the best way is to control their own appetite, each meal to eat a seven-minute full on the right, so that the benefits are not only beneficial to the stomach and intestines, but also be able to prevent a variety of chronic diseases, such as obesity, high cholesterol, hyperglycemia, etc. Symptoms of the disease are also very important for the prevention of chronic diseases, such as obesity, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia and other symptoms.

④Eat more mucus-rich foods

Some mucus-rich foods are very friendly to the stomach, they can be attached to the mucous membrane to avoid excessive stimulation of the gastric mucosa, such as yams, asparagus, okra, taro, leeks and so on. In addition should also pay attention to the daily diet nutritional balance, rich in nutrients to ensure the repair of the gastric mucosa.

Compared to the stomach, the concept of the spleen is relatively vague, what is the role of the spleen? How should we protect it? We enter the "spleen and stomach", indicating that the spleen and stomach are closely linked, in fact, the spleen is the largest lymphatic organ in our body, which seems to have nothing to do with food digestion and absorption, in fact, in addition to the implementation of the effect of the immune organs, the spleen is also responsible for the "transportation" of our food. In fact, in addition to performing the effect of the immune organ, the spleen is also responsible for the "transportation" of our food, after the food is digested into the food, the spleen and stomach to our intake of water, food micro distribution to the various parts of the body to be utilized, it is the effect of a carrier, so if there are problems with the spleen and stomach, the items in the transit station can not be better distributed, eat the things piled up in the stomach and intestines, the heat is also gathered, we would feel the abdominal distension and discomfort, but these nutrients are not necessarily being well utilized.

Moreover, the spleen and the body's "dampness" is closely linked, spleen deficiency people are generally prone to "heavy dampness". In traditional medicine, the five organs have their own attributes, the spleen is of the earth, and the earth can restrain water, so the spleen is like a dam, the body's water dampness has the ability to control, but if the spleen is weak, the water dampness can not be controlled, the body's dampness will be heavy. Dampness is also characterized by many things, such as often feel weak, feel fatigue with light exercise, difficult to get up after sleeping, the body is like lead, easy to acne, face oil head oil, etc.. What if you regulate the spleen and stomach.

Here are some ways you can learn from them:

①Do not overindulge in high oil and high sugar foods

Long-term intake of high-oil and high-fat food can easily burden the spleen, with the spleen and stomach working overtime. Take a lighter diet, avoid eating out and ordering takeout more often, cook more at home and use lighter cooking methods. High-sugar foods are also foods that hurt the spleen, because eating sugar is easy to generate dampness and phlegm, phlegm and dampness combined with each other, so that the body is more prone to water and dampness is difficult to drain the situation, but also to the spleen caused by the threat of flooding dams.

②Keep a good mood and learn to regulate stress

There is a saying in Chinese medicine: worrying hurts the spleen, if you are often in a worried mood, stress, it may cause some disadvantages to the spleen. Daily learn more ways to regulate emotions, less anger, less worry, you can drink some appropriate flowers and fruits tea, can ease the liver, help us regulate emotions.

③Maintain the habit of proper exercise

Proper exercise to ensure a good physique is also a wise practice to protect the spleen and stomach. A good physique can accelerate the speed of spleen repair and protect the health of the spleen and stomach.

What can I do to improve my weak spleen and stomach?

Spleen and stomach everyone "Li Dongyuan" once said - internal injuries to the spleen and stomach of all diseases, both modern and ancient people, there are many causes of spleen deficiency, but I think that modern people lead to spleen deficiency more than before, excessive joy and anger, dietary disorders, cold and temperature discomfort, injuries caused by labor are the source of internal injuries to the spleen and stomach, and so on. Excessive joy and anger, poor diet, discomfort from cold and warmth, injuries from hard labor, etc. are all sources of internal injury to the spleen and stomach.

Modern people's spleen and stomach killer is mainly related to our many bad lifestyle, such as usually overeating, do not eat on time, often stay up late, like cold drinks, bad mood, genetic factors, etc., these will trigger the culprits of spleen and stomach disease.

So how exactly do you regulate your spleen and stomach?

When the spleen and stomach are weak, the function of ascending and descending clearness and turbidity is also low, causing the pathological state of stomach disorder. Here you can eat sweet potatoes, also called sweet potatoes, Chinese medicine believes that sweet potatoes can make up for the deficiency, benefit the energy, strengthen the spleen and stomach, benefit the kidney and Yang. Usually, you can use more sweet potato and round-grained rice together to cook into a porridge to eat.

(2) Unblocking the Spleen Meridian

Focus on dredging the Blood Sea, Sanyinjiao, Taibai and Gongsun points on the Spleen meridian, especially Sanyinjiao and Taibai. Sanyinjiao is the intersection of the three meridians of the Liver, Spleen and Kidneys, so women can focus on dredging this point to not only dredge the Liver and strengthen the Spleen, but also to tonify the Kidneys.

(3) Taking some proprietary Chinese medicines

Follow me! Bringing you the right way to nourish your body and improve your spleen deficiency! Daily introduction of spleen nourishing Chinese medicines!

The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine has this passage "five grains for nourishment, five fruits for help, five animals for benefit, five vegetables for filling", grains are an important part of the body to supplement, fruits to help the grains, meat is beneficial to the human body, but can not be the main, vegetables as a complementary, which is a healthy dietary structure.

What are the five grains? Usually think of rice, millet, millet, wheat, beans for the five grains, in fact, not quite, five grains refers to a variety of food crops, wheat, rice, corn, sorghum, millet, soybeans, etc. are five grains. These foods are not too obvious hot and cold bias, can be consumed for a long time, if you match up can be corrected, more suitable for normal people to eat.

Many people have asked me why you named your headline Jin Gui Zhen Yan, which comes from a treatise in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, Jin Gui Zhen Yan, in which it is written about other things in nature that are related to the nature of the spleen and stomach: "Its flavor is sweet, its class is earth, its animal is ox, its grain is jasmine, and its responds to the four seasons and the upper part is the Zhen Xing. It is to know the disease in the flesh. Its sound is Gong, its number is five, and its odor is fragrant."

General food with a special sweet flavor, sweet food medicines, generally have the role of supplementing the weakness of the spleen, but too sweet instead of aggravating the burden of the spleen and stomach, which is anything can not be too much, too much has mutated. Cows work diligently all their lives, pulling plows and tilling the ground. Beef is warm in nature, but very calm and not dry. A small amount of beef can serve to replenish the spleen and stomach.

What kind of grain is the best for supplementing the weakness of the spleen and stomach? It is the grain like Jigen, the Jigen of Jiangshan and Jigen, which shows how much the ancients recognized the food like Jigen. Jik is a very nutritious food among the five grains, and the ancients definitely used it as their staple food, just like the function of the spleen and stomach, which, through digesting food, nourishes the other four organs of the human body and makes the limbs, muscles, sinews and bones grow and develop. Jik, as an ancient edible crop in China, specifically refers to which kind of food, there are now a variety of sayings. Some think it is corn, some think it is non-sticky millet, and some think it is sorghum. The efficacy of the grain can only be realized by eating small amounts every day to promote the recovery of the spleen and stomach functions.

Just yesterday I did a quick diet for my elderly aunt to boost digestion and absorption in the spleen and stomach. As she has always had a weak spleen and stomach, she ate overnight rice noodles (which she had re-cooked) on New Year's Eve, but it still triggered diarrhea and vomiting! I ate very little for a few days and felt that I was not digesting or absorbing anything at all. Until what day, has appeared to be shaking hands and feet is really very difficult, only to call me.

In order for her to quickly repair her spleen and stomach's ability to digest and absorb! At the same time also get the body's main nutrients, for a person in his early seventies, I can only choose the most easily digested and absorbed nutritional supplements, due to a slight gastroenteritis, I chose each time half a bowl of warm boiled water plus half a spoon of high-quality children's protein powder, the right amount of natural B vitamins, allicin, every two hours for her to eat once, try not to eat other food in the middle of the day, is really thirsty, if you take a small sip of small sips! Warm water, really osmium on the punch some brown sugar water to drink, soon produced a very good effect! After only two doses, she was able to get a few good nights of sleep. By six o'clock tonight she could wash her own hair. And there was no physical overdraft.

Regular mild weakness of the spleen and stomach can be improved gradually from the choice of food, and dietary methods. Such as: always eat some food is good for spleen and stomach, keep a small amount of meals, meat and vegetables with reasonable, ensure that the food is fresh, easy to digest the food is the main, it is best to know the combination of food. For example, choose a terrier rice, millet, oats, yam, walnuts, half a porridge porridge often eat, on the slight spleen and stomach weakness has some improvement.

Everyone's situation is different, the conditioning program for the cases I have exemplified may not necessarily be suitable for others, please do not copy and use it for all purposes. If you have any health problems, it is best to seek medical advice from your nearest doctor!
