Weakness of the spleen and stomach is a common physical condition with many symptoms, and stomach bloating is one of the most well-known. Sometimes you feel like there's a breath in your stomach but you can't burp, and sometimes you feel bloated and uncomfortable after eating. Although these symptoms may seem normal, they are a sign of a disorder in the spleen and stomach.
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen and stomach are the foundation of nurture, the source of qi and blood biochemistry. When the function of the spleen and stomach is normal, the body's qi and blood will be full, and the organs can receive sufficient nutrition, so as to maintain normal physiological functions. However, when the spleen and stomach are weak, the biochemical source of qi and blood is not sourced, and all systems of the human body will be affected, and various symptoms will appear.
For the symptom of stomach distention, Chinese medicine believes that it is often caused by the stagnation of qi. Qi is the operating mechanism of qi, which constantly rises and falls in and out of the human body to maintain the normal activities of life. When the qi is stagnant, the rise and fall of the qi is hindered, and various uncomfortable symptoms will appear. Among them, the qi of pure yang cannot rise normally, and the qi of turbid yin cannot fall normally, which will lead to the appearance of symptoms such as stomach distension and bloating.
In response to this situation, Chinese medicine has a very classic prescription, that is, Citrus aurantium decoction. This prescription comes from the "Golden Kui Yaolu" by the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing, and is composed of two flavors, citrus aurantium and atractylodes. Among them, 15 grams of citrus aurantium and 10 grams of atractylodes. The combination of these two herbs has both the power of lifting and the ability to reduce catharsis, which can well restore the lifting and lowering properties of the qi, thereby relieving symptoms such as stomach distention.
Atractylodes atractylodes is an important part of citrus aurantium soup. It has a sweet, bitter and warm taste, and has the effects of strengthening the spleen and invigorating qi, drying dampness and water. Atractylodes can cater to the preferences of the spleen, the spleen likes incense, the atractylodes is fragrant, the spleen likes warmth, the atractylodes is warm, the spleen likes dryness, and the nature of atractylodes is dry. Therefore, Atractylodes atractylodes can strengthen the spleen and help the spleen and stomach to better transport the subtleties of the water valley, thereby improving the symptoms of weakness of the spleen and stomach. In addition, Atractylodes also has the power of lifting, which can help the spleen qi to rise, so that the qi of the pure yang can be raised.
Citrus aurantium is another important medicine in citrus soup. It has a bitter, pungent and slightly cold taste, and has the effect of breaking qi and dissipating accumulation, dissolving phlegm and removing phlegm. Citrus aurantium has a bitter taste, and bitterness can be discharged to reduce turbidity, which can help the stomach qi to descend and make the turbidity yin qi be excreted. At the same time, citrus aurantium can also consume gas, which helps to eliminate food stagnation in the stomach. In this way, we can grasp a good balance between tonifying and laxative, which will not cause qi stagnation due to excessive nourishment, nor will it deplete too much qi and damage the spleen and stomach.
In addition to Citrus Aurantium Soup, there are also two Chinese patent medicines that also revolve around this formula, which are Citrus Citrus Pill and Citrus Citrus Kuanzhong Capsule. These two Chinese patent medicines have been added and subtracted on the basis of Citrus aurantium decoction to make their effects more comprehensive. Among them, Citrus aurantium pills are composed of two flavors of citrus aurantium and atractylodes, which are the same as Citrus aurantium decoction, while Citrus aurantium Kuanzhong capsule is based on Citrus aurantium pills with two flavors of Bupleurum and hawthorn. Bupleurum has the effect of soothing the liver and relieving depression, lifting the sun, and can help Atractylodes macrocephalus to improve the spleen, while hawthorn has the effect of eliminating food and accumulation, dissipating qi and stasis, and can help Citrus aurantium eliminate the stagnation of food in the stomach. In this way, Citrus aurantium Kuanzhong Capsule can not only treat the weakness of the spleen and stomach and the stagnation of qi and organs, but also take into account the effects of soothing the liver and relieving depression, eliminating food and reducing accumulation.
In general, the Chinese patent medicine made from Citrus aurantium decoction and its addition and subtraction is a classic prescription for the treatment of spleen and stomach weakness and qi stagnation. They can effectively alleviate stomach distension, bloating and other uncomfortable symptoms by restoring the lifting and lowering of qi, strengthening the spleen and invigorating qi, and eliminating food and accumulation. Of course, when using these drugs, it is also necessary to carry out syndrome differentiation and treatment according to the specific condition of the patient to achieve the best treatment effect. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to maintaining good living habits and eating habits, and avoid the influence of adverse factors such as overwork and emotional disorders, so as to maintain the health of the spleen and stomach. #健康##中医#
