During the COVID-19 epidemic, staying at home to develop a variety of cuisines, it is easy to eat more unconsciously, and symptoms such as stomach bloating, stomach pain, pantothenic acid, diarrhea, and constipation appear. These are all due to incontinence in diet, resulting in spleen and stomach dysfunction.
The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classics say: The spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow. That is to say, all life activities after birth depend on the transportation function of the spleen and stomach, and its normal function is that the whole body is full of internal organs, meridians, qi and blood, the human body is energetic, and it is easy to live a long life with few diseases; if the spleen and stomach are damaged, it is easy to get sick and seriously affect the quality of life. Therefore, the spleen and stomach are the "roots" of health.
As the saying goes: stomach diseases should be "three points, seven points", and the spleen and stomach need to spend effort to slowly regulate. Here are a few simple and easy Chinese medicine medicinal recipes to help you maintain your spleen and stomach daily.
