Nowadays, many people go to see Chinese medicine and are always told that their spleen and stomach are weak. As the innate foundation of the spleen and stomach and the source of qi and blood biochemistry, its role is self-evident.
So, what conditions must be met for the spleen and stomach to be good? First, the clear qi must be able to rise; second, the turbid qi must be able to descend.
Simply put, it is four words, rising and clearing and lowering turbidity. The spleen and stomach are like the two ends of the lever, the temper should rise with the essence, the stomach qi should go down with the dross, there is a rise and a fall, and the spleen and stomach qi machine will live.
There is a special treatment of spleen and stomach weakness of the fangzi, called citrus lotus leaf rice, this fangzi first originated from the Han Dynasty doctor Zhang Zhongjing's "Golden Kuai Essentials", then called citrus soup, to the Jin Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty doctor Zhang Element added lotus leaves and rice on the basis of citrus soup, the method is also very special, is to grind the white art and citrus fruit into a fine powder, "wrapped in lotus leaves to cook rice as a pill", taking the meaning of "diet into the stomach, camp qi upwards", so that it was transformed into a food treatment.
Citrus aurantium lotus leaf rice: 9 grams of citrus aurantium, 15 grams of white art, 1 lotus leaf, 100 grams of rice.
White art and citrus fruit are ground into a fine powder, mixed into rice, and then wrapped in lotus leaves and steamed together. For the choice of lotus leaves, you can use fresh lotus leaves or dried lotus leaves, as long as they are not yellow.
Bai Shu's temperament is warm, not anxious or dry, and it is very compatible with temper. The spleen's qi machine is also very soft, it is like a peacemaker, no matter where the internal organs are wrong, you can find the spleen to reconcile and reconcile.
Bai shu tonic spleen at the same time can also get rid of dampness, it can help the temper rise, so as to reduce the excess water moisture of the medium burner, just like the dryer, you just open the button, it will automatically evaporate the water. Bai Shu is the medicine that helps you open the button.
Then look at Yu Shi, in the Yanzi Envoy Chu, it is said, "Tangerine born in Huainan is orange, and born in Huaibei is orange." "This orange tree, growing south of the Huai River is an orange, growing north of the Huai River is a citrus tree, and the citrus tree here refers to the citrus fruit." Citrus aurantium is a magic medicine for exhausting turbidity, what is turbidity? For example, the qi that you produce after arguing with others is turbidity; or you are always sullen and unhappy, and suffocating all your thoughts will also produce turbidity.
Where these qi are blocked, where there is a problem, blocked in the heart socket, you will feel that the chest is stuffy, blocked in the head, you will feel dizzy, at this time, you will use citrus fruit to soak water to drink, its taste is bitter, bitter can fall, the ancients said, citrus fruit under the gas has a "rushing wall and falling against the wall", it is like a small hammer, can break the depressed gas machine, and then export from top to bottom.

Looking at the lotus leaf again, when it comes to the lotus leaf, I have to mention the lotus flower.
Lotus, throughout the ages, how many literati and inkers have written poems for it, especially the Northern Song Dynasty literary scholar Zhou Dunyi's sentence "out of the mud without staining, Mao Qing Lian without demon", for thousands of years, widely praised. You can see that although the leaves and flowers of the lotus grow in the mud, they are spotless, and it can be seen that its function of lifting and clearing and reducing turbidity is very powerful.
Looking at the lotus leaf "blue color, fragrant, shaped", it is like a turquoise tray, on the surface of the cold and cold water, a stem is independent, neither with the dirt, nor does it pay attention to the disputes of the world, and its upward momentum symbolizes a rising force.
Folk also often use lotus leaves to make glutinous rice chicken to eat, with lotus leaves wrapped in glutinous rice and chicken, put on the pot to steam, steamed after the glutinous rice chicken is not only integrated with the fragrance of lotus leaves, that chicken is not easy to eat, because the lotus leaf it can also reduce turbidity, you can transform part of the greasy gas of the food. That is to say, once the lotus leaf enters the body, it can be divided into two ways, one way to help the temper rise and clear, and the other to help the stomach qi to reduce turbidity.
About this square, let's see how the ancients evaluated it.
Xu Dachun, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty, said, "This agent for eliminating stagnation in Jianzhong is a special prescription for spleen deficiency and food stagnation." And Wang Mengying commented in the book "Diet Recipes for Living with The Breath", "Anyone whose spleen is weak and weak, and those who are unlucky for the sake of diarrhea, can be added to the agent of peizhong." Ancient lotus leaf cooking, that is, this is the meaning. ”
So, what kind of person is suitable for using this square?
1, the voice is small, not loud, giving people a feeling of weakness. And it is particularly easy to get tired, the same is to walk around outside, others are not tired, he is tired first, standing or sitting when always want to find something to lean on. These are all because the spleen and stomach are weak, so there is no strength.
2, bloating, a little bit of food stomach love to bloat, will also defecate, is the stool soft rotten, not formed, sometimes even appear to be the phenomenon of grain does not turn, eat the stomach of the things ah has not had time to digest, absorption and discharge, as if the stomach and intestines did not play a role at all.
This is what the Inner Classics say: "When the pure qi is lower, it is born and discharged, and if the turbid qi is on the top, it is bloated." "If the clear qi cannot be lifted upwards and turned downward, there will be a disease of leakage; the turbid qi cannot pass down to the lower row, but instead go up, make a mess, and block there, and there will be a disease of swelling and fullness."
3, loss of appetite, see delicious meals without appetite, tongue out, tongue moss thick and greasy, this is the stomach and intestines, folk also called food accumulation, this stagnation will hinder the normal transport of the spleen and stomach, resulting in spleen and stomach gas machine compaction, just like dry soil, then it can still grow all things?
If you are also such a person, you may wish to cook citrus lotus leaf rice to eat, which can not only make up for the deficiency, but also dispel evil spirits, and help you to repair the weak spleen and stomach in a little drop.
