Why do you say "nine out of ten stomach problems"?
In traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen and stomach like warmth and hate cold, and our spleen and stomach need a warm environment to function. For example, if the digestive function is abnormal, then everything eaten into the stomach is accumulated in the stomach, and the appetite is naturally gone, not only easy to flatulence, but also belching and acid reflux at every turn.
Moreover, in the view of traditional Chinese medicine, "cold" will hurt the yang energy of the spleen and stomach, and the main symptom of cold is pain, so this is why when the spleen and stomach are cold, many friends are prone to stomach pain, can't eat cold, usually easy to diarrhea, loose stools, and cold when touching the stomach. In addition, the spleen and stomach are insufficient, and there will also be drooling during sleep, thirst but not wanting to drink water, this is due to the spleen in the fluid for saliva, and "saliva" is what we call saliva, the spleen is mainly transporting the fluid, it can be said that the water is discharged from the body, the spleen and stomach are cold, and the fluid cannot be transported normally, so there will be a feeling of thirst, but there is water in the body, so naturally I don't want to drink water.
So what should we do in this situation? Of course, it is to strengthen the spleen and stomach, and warm the yang and dispel the cold.
That medical saint Zhang Zhongjing's licorice and ginger soup is the most suitable choice. Among them, dried ginger belongs to yang, enters the spleen and stomach meridian, can warm the spleen and stomach, and drive away the cold and evil, and licorice is sweet, can relieve the pain caused by spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, can be a good tonic for the spleen and stomach, and can also relieve the medicinal properties of dry ginger.
