Is the body weak? Just look at your mouth! Spleen deficiency is more terrible than kidney deficiency!




It is often said that spleen deficiency is not true, but many people do not think about spleen deficiency, and often feel that spleen deficiency cannot be actually felt and will not affect normal life.


Actually, this thinking is wrong.



Spleen deficiency can lead to the invasion of many diseases, and at the same time affect the body's yang energy, which determines a person's lifespan.


So, spleen deficiency shortens your lifespan.


In fact, spleen deficiency can be found in people's mouths and other places, and as long as you look closely at these places, you can know whether you have spleen deficiency or not.


Let's take a look at why the spleen is deficient and longevity today? How can you tell if your spleen is deficient?


What is spleen deficiency?


Many people don't even know what spleen deficiency is, how can they talk about spleen deficiency, and it is impossible to know whether they are spleen deficiency or not. So we have to know what is spleen deficiency first?



Traditional Chinese medicine looks at spleen deficiency


In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, spleen deficiency generally refers to a series of physiological phenomena caused by spleen qi deficiency. Spleen deficiency includes abnormal transport that leads to impaired nutrient absorption, loss of water and dispersion, resulting in excessive body dampness and phlegm, and even sepsis.


The kidney has the saying that it is innate, and the spleen is the acquired foundation and the source of qi and blood biochemistry, so spleen deficiency should not be underestimated.


Western medicine looks at spleen deficiency


In Western medicine, the spleen is only an organ of the human body and belongs to the immune organ. The spleen occupies 1/4 of the lymphoid tissue of the whole body, and the spleen contains a large number of lymphocytes and macrophages, so it is the largest immune organ in the human body, and it is the center of cellular immunity and humoral immunity.


This shows the importance of the spleen to the human body.


What happens if the spleen is deficient and spleenless?



1. Spleen deficiency leads to obesity


Nowadays, both men and women are pursuing a good figure and want to lose weight, because if you are thinner, you will be more beautiful, and if you are thinner, you will be healthier. However, many people lose weight and gain weight, and they gain weight before they start losing weight, which is actually caused by spleen deficiency.


First of all, spleen deficiency leads to a decrease in transportation ability, difficulty in metabolism, and excessive accumulation of food capacity in the body, resulting in obesity. Obesity can easily cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, fatty liver, increase the burden on the heart, and people will die early due to diseases caused by obesity.


Secondly, if the muscles are soft and no longer tight, there will be a "swimming ring" in the abdomen, and suddenly finding yourself with more and more flesh in your belly is also a manifestation of spleen deficiency.


2. Spleen deficiency becomes a "yellow-faced woman"


Spleen deficiency not only leads to obesity, but also makes many people "helpless", these people often because of spleen deficiency leads to food inability to transport, weakness, lack of energy, blood deficiency, sallow or pale complexion. And this type of people cannot bear weights and have poor resistance.


3. Spleen deficiency, fear of cold and heat


Deficiency in Chinese medicine is divided into yang deficiency and yin deficiency, with yang deficiency being afraid of cold and yin deficiency being afraid of heat. Spleen deficiency will lead to qi and yin deficiency, and even if you are sick in winter, your hands and feet will be hot and cold. In summer, it is easy to suffer from heat stroke, low blood pressure all year round, lack of energy every day, and muddy.


4. Spleen deficiency, diarrhea, heavy menstrual flow


Diarrhea is the most typical symptom of spleen deficiency, mainly due to spleen and yang deficiency, resulting in food inability to transport, moisture invasion, and loose stools.


The spleen is the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and spleen deficiency does not unify the blood, resulting in the normal operation of the blood, chronic bleeding, excessive menstrual bleeding and some other symptoms of spleen deficiency.


5. What happens if you don't have a spleen?


The spleen is the largest immune system, but it is vulnerable to damage because it is delicate. Often, many diseases and trauma can lead to the removal of the spleen.


Most people think that the spleen is not the main organ of the human body and will not have much effect, but the existence must be reasonable, and if the spleen is lost, it will inevitably lead to many immune problems. The immune system will definitely not return to the original level, people will be prone to illness, cancer cells will easily invade, and most people who lose their spleen will die early.


How can you see spleen deficiency?


In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen mainly transports food and grain water, and opens the mouth to the mouth. Therefore, if the spleen is deficient, we should look more at the mouth and lips.


1. Spleen deficiency from the mouth


The spleen is open to the mouth, and the human appetite is closely related to the spleen, and in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, "the functions of the mouth and the spleen are unified and coordinated". So the function of the spleen can be reflected from the mouth. If you have a strong temper, you have a strong appetite and want to eat.


It is mentioned in "Lingshu Pulse": The spleen is through the mouth, and the spleen and the mouth can know the grains. Therefore, if the spleen is deficient, it will be tasteless, and if the spleen is hot, it will be sweet in the mouth, and if the spleen is out of balance, it will appear greasy and bitter. Only when you have a good temper can you discern the taste of grains.


Therefore, spleen deficiency can be distinguished from the mouth, and if there is a peculiar smell in the mouth, it is mostly caused by spleen disorder.


2. Spleen deficiency from the lips



  • Swollen lips


In the "Su Wen: The Generation of the Five Organs", it is recorded: "The flesh of the spleen is also the glory of the lips", if there is fire in the stomach, it will go up to the lips, and if there is fire in the stomach, the spleen will be burned. Therefore, swollen lips are also problems with the spleen and stomach.


  • Sores


The spleen loses its function of transport, resulting in poor appetite and dampness resistance, resulting in sores at the corners of the mouth. This is a typical manifestation of spleen deficiency and dampness. Repeated sores at the corners of the mouth are caused by yin deficiency in the spleen and stomach, and sores mostly occur on the lips, tongue, sides of the mouth and palate.


  • Cheilitis


The lips are always peeling and chapped. This is caused by the heat of the spleen and stomach rushing upward, and the external attack of wind evil, which is why our lips are always dry and sore in autumn.


  • The lips are dull


If the temper is full, the lips are ruddy and shiny, and the elasticity is good. When the lips are pale and dull, it means that the spleen is deficient and the qi is deficient.


  • The side of the mouth is black


The black side of the mouth is a typical manifestation of spleen deficiency and dampness, which leads to fatigue and severe moisture invasion.


3. Spleen deficiency from other aspects



  • vomit


Spleen deficiency leads to poor stomach intake, food is difficult to restrain and abdomen is full, and stomach gas is reversed, resulting in vomiting. Therefore, when there is a slight lack of attention to eating and drinking, vomiting, the condition is often indigestion, most of which is caused by spleen deficiency.


  • Lots of water


We often find that small children drool, but not all children have this symptom. This is due to the lack of spleen, which is not able to disperse the fluid well, resulting in a lot of saliva flowing outward. Therefore, it is found that your child drools a lot, if it is not in the teething stage, it may be caused by spleen deficiency and lack of temper.


  • Fat tongue


Fat tongue is a typical manifestation of a weak spleen and stomach in summer, resulting in too much moisture in the body. This situation is mostly caused by diet, which is mainly too cold, too miscellaneous and unhealthy food, and is also related to the living environment being too wet.
