Spleen deficiency, we often say: hypertrophied tongue with tooth marks, wet tongue coating, loose stools or sticky toilet, drooling, obesity..... These are all symptoms of spleen-yang deficiency.
However, the internal organs have yin and yang, and if there is spleen and yang deficiency, there will definitely be spleen yin deficiency, and the symptoms of spleen yin deficiency are: dry lips, not thinking about eating, tongue coating peeling off the ground and tongue, thin body, dry stool or dry before and loose after.
If it is a child's case: diet therapy, massage is the mainstay, supplemented by moxibustion; For example, eat black sesame seeds, white fungus soup, walnuts, lotus seeds, glutinous rice, millet yam porridge, honey.....
Rub your back, abdomen, and feet;
If the child is constipated, you can drink: sesame oil + honey, about 5-10 grams each.
There are still only two acupuncture points for moxibustion: the body pillar acupoint and the navel
In the past 2 days, I happened to meet a few children with spleen and yin deficiency to consult, so I will talk about it by the way. Yin deficiency for a long time will definitely have yang deficiency, in the same way, yang deficiency for a long time must have both yin deficiency symptoms.
Today, we still follow our habitual thinking to talk about spleen deficiency.

How important is the spleen?
We often say: the kidney is the foundation of innateness; The spleen is the foundation of nurture, the source of qi and blood biochemistry. It means that the qi and blood we acquire come from the movement of the spleen, that is, the credit of the spleen.
You often consult: I am weak in qi, I am deficient in blood, I am deficient..... In fact, it is a deficiency of the spleen.
To understand the spleen, let's first understand the workflow in which the spleen is involved:
The stomach crushes and digests the food and passes it to the small intestine, which receives the food and sorts and packs it to pass the nutrients to the spleen, and at the same time passes waste products to the large intestine (feces) and bladder (urine). After the spleen is received, it is further classified and packaged, and the nutrients are deeply processed and transmitted to the whole body to nourish the whole body; Return the waste to the small intestine.
Spleen is a diligent porter!
On that day, the spleen is "weak" and you can't work, and you may have all the above symptoms one after another.
For most of us, just remember: I don't have a good appetite; blood deficiency or anemia; The skin, muscles, and organs began to sag; fat, or no matter how you eat, you don't get fat; menstrual irregularities; Wet weight ..... You should find the spleen!
Here I will talk about people who are not fat no matter how much they eat, and if they can eat, they have a good stomach, but the subtlety of the water valley you eat must be transported to all parts of the body by the spleen to nourish the viscera and nourish the muscles, but the spleen is deficient, and everyone can't eat good food.
It's like a refrigerator full of food, mom is not there, still hungry, a truth.
This kind of person generally has a big stomach fire.
How could a good spleen be broken by us?
"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" says very clearly: eat less to replenish qi, eat more to hurt qi; The taste is light and replenishes, and the taste is thick and hurtful.
The "hurt qi" here refers to the yang qi that hurts the spleen - the spleen, and over time there is a deficiency of the spleen and yang! That is, the ability of the spleen has decreased, and the strength has been lost.
If you want to blame, you can only blame it, science and technology have developed, productivity has increased, and life is better!
Now there are those who fly in the sky, those who run on the ground, and those who swim in the water.... Sichuan flavor, Hunan flavor.... Fried, fried.... Eat as much as you want, and as soon as you eat it, it will reach your esophagus.
You want a high school student who can only pick 50 pounds, and picking 100 pounds will hurt your waist. If you eat like this, it will hurt the spleen and increase the burden on the spleen, the spleen and stomach will consume their own yang qi to digest food, and their own qi is insufficient, so you have to find the kidney to borrow, not to mention that you also want to help the kidney find wolfberry to borrow!
The ancestor said: There is nothing wrong with eating modestly and eating 7 points! If 7 points is not enough, we can just fill it up!
When the refrigerator is opened, you can eat and drink cold food and drinks as you like, and it also hurts your spleen and yang! Ai You, who has a bad spleen and stomach, must pay attention to "cold food" to avoid it!
Last time, an Ai friend asked, how to drink the yogurt taken out of the refrigerator? You take it out and put it at room temperature to drink it, you can't wait to soak it in warm water.
I wrote in an article a few days ago, and an Ai friend came to report the good news: Teacher, I used to have diarrhea when I ate sashimi, but I was really good after eating boiled water eggs for 20 days, and this time I ate 15 sashimi at a time.
Suffice it to say: your spleen and stomach will keep an account of your misfortune against it! Over time, the old accounts and the new accounts are calculated together!
Staying up late to look at your phone for a long time, this is the most hurtful yin and blood of the human body! And your blood depends on the biochemistry of the spleen and stomach, which in turn increases the burden on the spleen.
Your spleen is deficient and you can't provide nutrients to your kidneys, and over time your kidneys will be deficient! If you don't know how bad your spleen is, you can ask if you are afraid of kidney deficiency?
I would like to say a little more about women:
Teacher: I wake up at 1-3 o'clock in the evening and wake up in the morning with a bloated stomach. (Note: I want this person to beat the armpit + push the abdomen).
This is a typical symptom of "liver depression and spleen deficiency"; As mentioned earlier, the liver and spleen are interdependent; The liver and spleen are a pair of "interdependent" relationships - liver depression will also lead to spleen deficiency.
The liver qi is depressed and does not move, and the spleen and stomach qi cannot move. Over time, the following situation arises:
Teacher, my 86-year-old mother's chest and abdomen are moving and aching from time to time.....
This is a long-term stomach qi stagnation into a "knot", push the abdomen for at least 3 months to see if it can be good, so she asked her to moxibustion after pushing the abdomen for her mother!
Eat 7 points, don't eat cold, go to bed early and get up early, control emotions, and exercise appropriately - the way to nourish the spleen!
Spleen Strengthening Methods:
I have always believed that abdominal pushing is the best and safest way to strengthen the spleen!
Pushing the abdomen is actually to help your spleen, stomach, and intestines move with the help of external forces. You can't afford to provoke it, I'll give you a hand, so as to reduce the consumption of temper, and reducing consumption is to make up!
Straight up and down, clockwise or counterclockwise, 20 minutes each morning and evening. Women are pushing the abdomen by the way to rub the middle acupoint and rub the ribs; If you have a big temper, rub it more!
There are too many foods to strengthen the spleen, and millet yam porridge is the best food to strengthen the spleen, which can be eaten by men, women and children.
Jujube is also a good food for strengthening the spleen, but people with weak and damp spleen can drink jujube water and eat less jujube meat, which is easy to produce phlegm.
It is precisely because red dates strengthen the spleen and stomach that they nourish blood! Brown sugar is also a blood tonic, but the mechanism of blood nourishment is different.
Just like "spring sleepiness, autumn fatigue, summer napping, winter and March when you can't wake up" all want to sleep, but the reasons are different, and the solutions are different.
If it is just a simple spleen deficiency, of course, moxibustion is a faster method.
Acupuncture:20 minutes each for the middle navel, navel, and foot three miles, and moxibustion for 2 days and one day off, long-term persistence.
Ai friends who like to lose their temper can add Taichong acupoints for 20 minutes each.
