Becoming a TCM practitioner is the most gratifying adventure of my life.
When I was a child, my mother's "resurrection" made me very interested in medicine, and I practiced medicine for more than 40 years, and in these years of career, I have treated more than 20,000 patients with hepatobiliary and spleen and stomach problems.
Everyone knows that the spleen is responsible for the transport, decomposition, absorption and transportation of food. If the spleen and stomach are out of balance, it will cause a series of problems in the body. Problems such as bad breath, bitter and dry mouth, acid reflux, hiccups, and indigestion appear.
Many people have these situations, and they can't find any major problems when they go to check, that is, they are very uncomfortable in daily life. Today, I'm going to tell you a recipe for white lentils to treat spleen and stomach problems:
A victorious general in the spleen world
White lentils are attributed to the spleen and stomach meridians, and act on the spleen and stomach, so as to achieve the effect of strengthening the spleen and harmonizing. It is sweet, sweet, can replenish, can be slow, can be harmonious, can help digestion, reconcile the middle focus, so as to eliminate dietary stagnation.
In addition, the most recommended point of white lentils is that the general spleen medicine will be warm or dry, for some people with heat may aggravate the heat, white lentils tonify the spleen and stomach but not greasy, can remove moisture, but not lukewarm.
Medical case
Last week, a patient in his early 40s came to me with bitter bad breath, diarrhea, and unformed stools.
The patient reported that he woke up in the morning with dry mouth, bitter bad breath, unformed stool, and no blood in the stool. I saw that his tongue was pale red, thick and yellow, and his veins were wet.
Other diseases: dampness and turbidity, depression and heat endogenesis. The treatment is mainly to strengthen the spleen and clear the middle coke.
After the dialectic, I gave him a prescription:
Stir-fried white lentils, skullcap, atractylodes, magnolia, tangerine peel, patchouli, peilan, ginger banxia, bergamot, grass fruit, purslane, dandelion.
He was instructed to eat a light diet and avoid greasy food and raw and cold food.

The tongue is light, the moss is slightly white and greasy, and the pulse is wet. The defender continued to take 14 doses, 1 dose per day, and decoction in water.
