Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of nurture, the source of qi and blood biochemistry. If the spleen and stomach are not good, the body is prone to problems. The quality of the spleen and stomach also determines whether our qi and blood are sufficient, and whether our immunity and resistance are normal. Modern life is fast-paced, spleen and stomach disease is a common disease, and its occurrence is closely related to our Xi habits. So what behavioral Xi are easy to lead to spleen and stomach diseases? Today I will share with you several triggers of spleen and stomach diseases, and how to deal with them.
The first is to eat too much raw, cold, spicy and greasy food. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is the feeling of external evils. Modern people have irregular and uncontrolled diets, and some people will experience abdominal discomfort or diarrhea after eating ice cream, iced watermelon, drinking ice-cold drinks, or eating spicy and greasy hot pot. In traditional Chinese medicine, we usually say that this situation is the external invasion of cold evil or the external invasion of hot blood. Excessive consumption of such irritating foods may lead to dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, and the qi and blood cannot be transported and nourished throughout the body. For this type of people, you can refer to Xiangsu San and Liangfu Pills. Xiangsu powder has the effect of evacuating wind and cold, regulating qi and neutralizing. Symptoms such as abdominal congestion and lack of appetite caused by external cold and internal stagnation are very effective. Liangfu Pill is a Chinese patent medicine with the effect of warming and regulating qi, and it is very effective in treating symptoms such as cold condensation and qi stagnation, abdominal pain, vomiting acid, chest and abdomen distension, etc.
The second is a bad mood. Anger hurts the liver and spleen, and in modern society, this is also a relatively common cause of damage to the spleen and stomach. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the five internal organs are related to joy, anger, sorrow and fear, and the imbalance of the five internal organs can lead to different emotional responses in the human body, and on the contrary, emotions can also affect the health of the five internal organs. For example, when you are angry, you don't want to eat, or when you are anxious, you don't want to eat. When these negative emotions appear, it is easy to damage the spleen and stomach. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is emotionally pathogenic. For patients with such conditions, you can refer to Xiaoyao Pill. Xiaoyao Pill has the effect of soothing the liver and strengthening the spleen, nourishing blood and regulating menstruation, and has a good effect on the treatment of stomach pain caused by liver stagnation and qi stagnation and liver and spleen disharmony.
The third is staying up late for a long time. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is said that "labor is exhaustion". If the spleen is overworked, the spleen will be damaged, and the spleen injury will affect the body's transportation function, and the qi and blood will be lost, resulting in a weak spleen and stomach. This kind of people can use dietary therapy methods to recuperate, such as millet yam and wolfberry porridge. Yam strengthens the spleen and kidney, wolfberry nourishes the liver and nourishes yin, and millet nourishes yin and clears the deficiency fire, the three are matched and the effects are complementary, especially suitable for people who often stay up late and have a deficiency in the spleen and stomach. It can strengthen the spleen and liver, nourish the kidneys and improve the essence.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that in daily life, eat reasonably, standardize work and rest, combine work and rest, and maintain a good mood. Once there is a physical problem, you must seek medical attention in time, treat it under the guidance of a doctor, and do not take medicine at will. I'm Dr. Hou, we'll see you next time!
