Raise your hand to nourish your spleen and stomach! People with these 9 symptoms, raise their hands like this 30 times a day, and a good spleen and stomach will come to the door!
According to statistics, about 500 million people in the world suffer from stomach problems, and China has 120 million people, which can be said to be a "big country with stomach diseases".
When it comes to the stomach, we have to talk about the lower spleen, which is a good pair in the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine.
If the stomach is compared to a granary, the spleen is the transportation company.
The food we eat is initially ground and digested in the stomach, and then digested again by the spleen, removing the dross and transporting the "essence" - nutrients - to the whole body.
Therefore, if the stomach function is not good, the transportation capacity of the spleen will also be affected, and the body will not get enough nutrients in various parts of the body, and the body will have a variety of uncomfortable symptoms.
Heavy head is different from headache, and its most common feeling is: the head is very heavy, foggy, like a state of chaos, the expression is in a trance, as if the head is wrapped in a wet towel, the eyes can't be opened, it takes a long time to wake up completely after waking up, and the performance is more obvious on rainy days.
This is due to the fact that the spleen has the function of raising and clearing, once the human spleen and stomach are weak, it is easy to appear damp and evil trapped in the spleen, and the movement of the spleen is unfavorable, and the clear yang cannot rise to the mind, and the head will feel heavy.
Solution: Comb your hair with your fingers and artificially lead Qingyang to your head.
If the spleen is not full of qi and fluid, it cannot provide enough nutrients to the body, so that the whole person looks a little "chlorosis", which is a manifestation of spleen deficiency.
The so-called chlorosis is a withered, lifeless, dull yellow, closer to earthy yellow.
Solution: Eat some millet porridge often.
There is a saying in traditional Chinese medicine: "The spleen is the main body of salivation", so it is said that the water of the spleen and the qi of the spleen are manifested through this "salivation".
When a person's temper is sufficient, saliva can work properly and help us swallow and digest food.
If the temper is weak and the ability to fix is not strong, the "saliva" will not stay in the mouth honestly, and for adults, it may be manifested as easy drooling day and night.
Solution: Drink some ginger jujube tea.
"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" mentions: The lips are the officials of the spleen. It is said that the spleen and stomach problems can be seen through the lips.
Normal lips are pale red with a slight sheen.
If the lips are very red, bright red, like wearing lipstick, it means that the spleen and stomach are hot, and children often have this manifestation after accumulating food.
If the lips are dry and cracked, it is a deficiency of spleen yin.
If the lips are purple, it means that the spleen and stomach are cold.
If the lips are white, it means that the spleen and stomach are not well transported and indigestion is poor.
It is normal for normal people to wake up in the morning and occasionally have bad breath, but if the breath does not go all day, it indicates gastrointestinal problems.
It is mainly due to the poor movement of the spleen and stomach or excessive diet, which leads to the accumulation of food and drink in the stomach and intestines, fermentation and the formation of peculiar smell, overflowing from the mouth and becoming bad breath.
When we observe the tongue coating, it is generally believed that the middle area of the tongue coating represents the spleen and stomach.
It is normal for the moss here to be white and thin, and if it is thick, it means that there is stagnation; If it is thick yellow, it means that it has accumulated heat; If it is thick and white, it means that the spleen and stomach are cold and damp; If there is no moss, it means that the spleen and stomach are seriously deficient; If there is a sudden crack in the middle, it means that the stomach is injured.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is the main muscle.
If a person has developed limbs, it means that the person has a good spleen and stomach.
Some people are very thin, weak muscles, or have a lot of fat, which means that the spleen and stomach function is insufficient.
The appetite comes from the stomach yang, and if the stomach fire is insufficient, the appetite is impaired.
The qi and blood required for human life activities need to be made by the spleen and stomach, and also need to be nourished by the subtleties of the five grains the day after tomorrow.
Unlike bloating, which occurs after eating, bloating with a weak spleen and stomach can occur before eating, more often in the afternoon, and there is no discomfort in the morning.
This is mostly due to the deficiency of qi in the spleen and stomach and the sinking of the central qi. The light ones only have a feeling of bloating, and the heavy ones will have a bulging abdomen, which seems to be real distention, but in fact it is a virtual distention.
If you want to have a good spleen and stomach, three points depend on treatment, and seven points depend on nourishment.
However, nourishing the spleen and stomach is not a day's work, and we need to make some changes in our lifestyle, in addition, do some simple exercises to regulate.
In a fast-paced life, it is also necessary to eat on time and in quantity, which is the first step to maintain the spleen and stomach.
Also, eat less cold drinks. Cold drinks have the effect of constricting blood vessels in the stomach and reducing the secretion of digestive juices, which is very bad for digestion.
Since yellow food corresponds to the spleen in the five elements, eating soybeans, pumpkin, potatoes, corn, bananas, etc. in summer can promote spleen and stomach health.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the key to regulating the spleen and stomach is to conform to the changes in the qi of various organs.
Stomach qi mainly descends, and spleen qi mainly rises, which means that food is rotten through the stomach and needs to go down to the small intestine for the next step of digestion and absorption, and the spleen qi infuses the food essence into the lungs, and then infuses it into other tissues and organs.
Through the orderly movement of the spleen and stomach, the whole body can be sufficiently nourished.
The single arm movement recorded in the Baduanjin is very useful for regulating the spleen and stomach by using this mechanism.
