From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the function of spleen and stomach is slightly different from that of western medicine. The stomach is mainly considered as the primary processing of Shui Gu subtle, while the spleen is responsible for transporting and transforming Shui Gu subtle. The two are complementary issues, and if one party has problems, both of them may affect each other. From the mechanism point of view, the causes of spleen-stomach qi deficiency can be seen from the following four points.
(1) Inherent genetic factors
In life, we find that some children have a particularly good appetite since childhood and can't eat anything. And some children, eating is easy to stomach upset. This is precisely because each child's parents have different spleen and stomach, and their digestive ability and adaptability are also different.
Similarly, the spleen and stomach also have certain genetic factors. Parents have a good spleen and stomach, and their children's will not be too bad. Or conversely, it is difficult to change the phenomenon of Dallas going to the auditorium. The only thing that can be done is to recuperate the day after tomorrow.
(2) Factors of eating habits
In this era when food and clothing is no longer a problem, overeating has become a normalization. Even what to eat has become a headache, and there is no need to worry about not having enough to eat. Not only that, there are more and more kinds and patterns of food to eat, and fatty and sweet things have become the mainstream. Barbecue, frying and other types of food have become popular foods. All kinds of cold drinks and milk tea have mushroomed year after year.
Under such conditions, people's spleen and stomach burden is getting heavier and heavier, and even they are often in an overloaded working state, which is one of the reasons for spleen and stomach dysfunction and spleen and stomach qi deficiency.
(3) Life habit factors
In addition to changes in diet, our living habits have actually changed a lot. Among them, the general decrease in exercise is one of them. Nowadays, the daily exercise of office workers can be said to be a handful. Eating well and exercising less will increase the pressure on the spleen and stomach. Moreover, the transportation and transformation of spleen is often closely related to dampness in traditional Chinese medicine. Spleen deficiency and dampness, coupled with lack of exercise, accumulate dampness into evil over time, making the spleen and stomach deficient and cold. Therefore, in the concept of eliminating dampness, almost all of them emphasize strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness, and eliminating dampness without strengthening the spleen is superficial effort. This is like, skin oil does not pay attention to internal adjustment, but only pays attention to the use of facial cleanser, which is often a temporary solution.
(4) natural age factor
The last one is a relatively normal phenomenon. With the increase of age, there are more and more phenomena of spleen and stomach qi deficiency. This is a normal growth phenomenon, and only through reasonable conditioning can the progress be slowed down.
In short, the causes of spleen and stomach qi deficiency can be divided into these four aspects, so when we have symptoms of spleen and stomach qi deficiency, how to regulate it?
Sijunzi decoction is a very good prescription, which has been verified by a large number of data, is widely used and has a rigorous theoretical basis.
This prescription originated from Taiping Huimin Hejiju Prescription, which mainly has the effect of invigorating spleen and benefiting qi. At the same time, Poria cocos is beneficial to water conservancy and diuresis, and can also eliminate dampness while strengthening the spleen.
For patients with spleen and stomach qi deficiency, personal suggestions can be used as conditioning. It is also necessary to choose the appropriate dampness-removing prescription according to different constitutions. Solving the problem of heavy moisture at present is more conducive to the conditioning of spleen and stomach qi deficiency.
If the water is not removed, the conditioning effect will become worse. Mistakes in eliminating dampness may also lead to eliminating dampness. Eliminating dampness is divided into cold and heat, depending on whether you belong to body cold type or body heat type, and then choose the formula for eliminating dampness, and the moisture will be removed.
