Chinese medicine believes that the functions of the spleen and stomach (including small intestine and large intestine). ) is the foundation of the day after tomorrow and the source of qi and blood biochemistry. So take good care of the stomach, so what are the benefits of maintaining the stomach? Let me introduce the effect of gastrointestinal maintenance to you, I hope it will be useful to you!

Effect of gastrointestinal maintenance

From the moment of birth, people can't live without eating. By absorbing the nutrition of diet, they can supply the needs of all tissues and organs in the whole body, thus maintaining the normal metabolism of the body, promoting the growth of the human body and keeping the human body young. The stomach and intestines are the core parts of nutrient absorption, so the maintenance of the stomach and intestines is very important.

The moisture and required nutrition of the panel are mainly absorbed from the spleen and stomach. If the gastrointestinal tract is sick, the nutrition and water supply of the panel is insufficient, which will directly affect the beauty of the face, leading to dull complexion, yellowing and blackening. Therefore, if the stomach is bad and the complexion is disgraceful, women will lose their beauty. It can be seen that the function of the stomach directly affects the cosmetic effect.

People's health lies in that the nutrients eaten between the entrance and the exit must be digested by the spleen and stomach and absorbed by the human body. The intestines and stomach are also responsible for discharging the garbage that cannot be absorbed, ensuring the health of imports and exports and ensuring human health. Gastrointestinal peristalsis can improve constipation and smooth defecation, and eliminate feces and toxins deposited in the intestine. Repair intestinal mucosa and improve digestive function.

Effective gastrointestinal maintenance methods

First, wake up the spleen

"Awakening the spleen" is to liberate the spleen and stomach from a long-term sluggish or hyperactive state, such as "no appetite, or special interest in a certain food, and another is that you don't feel full even if you eat it, or you don't feel hungry even if you don't eat it. In short, it is either too strong or too weak. At this time, let the spleen and stomach "wake up" from this state.

Speaking of which, if you are a mother with children, when the children are not eating, you will always see the clerk recommend a Chinese patent medicine called "Xingpi Yang Er Granule". That's the reason. What are the traditional Chinese medicines for strengthening the spleen? In fact, please remember that, generally speaking, aromatic plants can generally awake the spleen, such as "Amomum villosum, nutmeg, fennel, Amomum tsaoko, dried tangerine peel, clove, Atractylodes lancea and so on. , have a good spleen function. Maybe parents will ask, "Beef and pork are delicious. Can you wake up the spleen?"? "Of course, the answer is correct. Of course, it can awake the spleen. Can't you see that your mouth is watering when you smell this? I'm sure I can wake up the spleen! The advantage of strengthening the spleen in this way is to build appetite and adjust preferences for certain things.

Second, the lead is lagging behind:

What is lead and lag? Is to let the function of the spleen and stomach, especially the function of the gastrointestinal tract, move to the next process. As we said in the last section, the gastrointestinal tract has rhythmic movement, and the purpose of this rhythmic movement is to enhance the emptying ability of the gastrointestinal tract. This is the key reason why I often say "my stomach is full of communication". If you want to put things in the box, you must empty the box. If you can't do this, it's no use doing gastrointestinal maintenance. The standard term of Chinese medicine is "digestion and stagnation", and there are many important factors for digestion and stagnation, such as "Fructus Aurantii Immaturus, Endothelium Corneum Gigeriae Galli, Fructus Crataegi, Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, Raphani Semen, Geshanxiao, Areca catechu, etc." . These drugs will systematize or format all the things stored in your body, and play a brand-new waiting writing mode, hehehe! Although it is a bit far-fetched, this is the truth, and parents should understand it slowly!

Third, strengthen the spleen and stomach.

Why do some people gain weight, some people gain weight, and some people are neither fat nor thin? In fact, it is caused by the spleen and stomach. You can directly say "What kind of spleen and stomach determines your body shape". The word "strong" means "what should be absorbed and what should not be absorbed should not be absorbed". More directly, the spleen and stomach should objectively act according to the laws of the body, and everything should be done according to the needs of the body and not deviate from this general direction. To achieve this function, we must strengthen the function of gastrointestinal tract. Only when we are strong can we have the ability to operate independently, that is, everyone can clean up, detoxify and absorb. Since this is a lecture on health preservation of Chinese medicine, let's see what Chinese medicines can achieve this goal. We have accumulated a lot of experience in traditional Chinese medicine, such as "Ginseng, Polygonatum sibiricum, malt, millet, yam, Atractylodes macrocephala, Massa Medicata Fermentata and Coicis Semen".

Fourth, regulating qi and relaxing bowels.

The above three points alone cannot completely solve the problem. If you want to do a good job in gastrointestinal maintenance, regulating qi and dredging intestines is a very important link. Why? It's simple. If you want to stimulate gastrointestinal movement and quickly empty the food inside, you must let the gas in the stomach shoot down as much as possible and not stagnate in the stomach. Foods that cannot be digested in time are more likely to produce gas. The more gas you produce, the easier it is to cause obesity or constipation, or you won't feel hungry all day, otherwise it will be flatulence or toxin increase, so you must quickly disperse the gas in your body. The traditional Chinese medicine to solve this problem is "clove, aucklandia root, agarwood and bitter orange". There is an herb called "Aristolochia", which is very effective. Unfortunately, few people know how to use it now. Many things in traditional Chinese medicine are in the folk, and there are many good things worth digging and summarizing.

Understand the above four steps, let's talk about how to use * * * techniques and products in beauty salons or health salons for conditioning.

* * * Manipulation: * * Manipulation such as "Yin and Yang abdomen are pushed down to both sides, the upper abdomen is circled clockwise, the ascending colon, transverse colon and descending colon are pushed down to the rectum, and then the intestines are shaken together, and acupoints such as Zhongwan, Shu Tian, Daheng, Zusanli, Shuweishu, and large intestine are clicked.

To regulate the function of spleen and stomach, the available Chinese patent medicines are: Xiangsha Yangwei Pill, Ginseng Jianpi Pill, Shugan Jianpi Pill, etc. If you have constipation, you can use "Mizhi Capsule, Wuren Pill" and so on.

Tea for nourishing stomach and moistening intestine

Pu'er tea

Yunnan Pu 'er tea is a kind of tea produced by Yunnan's unique big-leaf tea tree. It is the most exquisite tea in China for its brewing skill and tasting art. Its drinking methods are extremely rich, both clear and mixed. When people relax in spring, they can choose Pu 'er tea with a certain degree of natural fermentation, or Pu 'er tea with a mixture of raw and cooked. This kind of tea is warm and active, which is more conducive to dispersing the cold evil accumulated in the human body in winter, promoting the growth of human yang, invigorating people's spirits, eliminating spring sleepiness and enhancing disease resistance.

At a suitable concentration, drinking mild Pu 'er tea has no effect on the stomach. Thick, smooth and mellow Pu 'er tea enters the stomach, forming a film attached to the surface of the stomach, which produces a beneficial protective layer for the stomach. Drinking Pu 'er tea for a long time can protect and nourish the stomach. This is the main reason why consumers who advocate drinking Pu 'er tea at home and abroad call Pu 'er tea "beauty tea" and "longevity tea".

The efficacy of Pu 'er tea lies in its mild nature, which warms the stomach without hurting the stomach, especially cooked tea. Generally speaking, light fermented tea is really unbearable for tea lovers, especially for modern people who drink tea all day and have abnormal diets. Under the long-term immersion of caffeine and tannic acid, heartburn often occurs, so Pu 'er tea is especially suitable for friends who have more entertainment. Most friends who drink too much have a cold stomach. Pu 'er tea has a unique effect of warming the stomach, so it is better to drink it every day.

black tea

During the processing of black tea, a chemical reaction centered on enzymatic oxidation of tea polyphenols occurred. Tea polyphenols have been reduced by more than 90%, resulting in new components such as theaflavins and thearubigins. Aroma substances are obviously higher than fresh leaves, so black tea has the characteristics of tea red, soup red, leaf red and sweet and mellow taste. Black tea can help digestion, stimulate appetite, induce diuresis, eliminate edema and strengthen heart function. Flavonoids rich in black tea can scavenge free radicals, have anti-acidification effect and reduce the incidence of myocardial infarction. Black tea can help regulate blood sugar, but it is still inconclusive. In winter, the stomach is easy to feel uncomfortable. People who feel uncomfortable after eating too many iced fruits and vegetables can slowly drink black sugar ginger slices in black tea while it is warm, which has the effect of nourishing the stomach and will feel more comfortable, but it is not recommended to drink iced black tea.

When people drink green tea instead of eating, they will feel sick to their stomachs. This is because tea polyphenols, an important substance contained in tea, have astringent taste and have a certain effect on the stomach, especially on an empty stomach. Black tea is different. It is made by fermentation and baking. Black tea not only won't hurt the stomach, but also nourish it. Drinking black tea with sugar and milk often can diminish inflammation, protect gastric mucosa and have a certain effect on treating ulcers.

hawthorn tea

Hawthorn tea is a kind of health tea therapy, the main raw materials are hawthorn and tea, which has the functions of promoting digestion, resolving food stagnation, reducing fat and losing weight. Hawthorn in hawthorn tea is sweet and slightly sour. Entering the spleen, stomach and liver meridians can strengthen the spleen, stimulate appetite, promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, resolve phlegm and promote digestion. The lipase contained in it can promote the digestion of fatty foods, promote the secretion of gastric juice and the increase of enzymes in the stomach, enhance appetite, improve sleep, keep calcium constant in bones and blood, and prevent atherosclerosis, which is especially suitable for the elderly.

It should be noted that making tea with hawthorn has a good drinking effect. If you eat hawthorn fruit directly, you need to pay attention to taboo people. Because hawthorn contains a lot of fruit acid, which has the function of astringent and gastric mucosa, the spleen and stomach function of the elderly is weak, and the development of children's spleen and stomach function is not complete. Eating too much hawthorn will consume stomach gas, reduce digestion, and cause indigestion or emaciation. In addition, people with hyperacidity will secrete gastric acid, which will increase the gastric acid rapidly and increase the concentration, which will easily cause nausea and acid vomiting, and even cause peptic ulcer in severe cases.

barley tea

Barley is fried to brown, and strong fragrant tea can be extracted only by brewing with hot water before eating. Barley tea is made by frying and boiling barley, which has a strong wheat flavor.
