There are such a group of people in life who can eat very much. Sometimes they are hungry before meals. They often eat several meals a day, but they can't get fat and their bodies look thin. Moreover, after eating, there will be satiety and indigestion, and some people will also have fatigue and irregular stools. What's going on here?

In fact, this phenomenon in Chinese medicine is mostly because the stomach is strong and the spleen is weak, and there are problems with digestion.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are both exterior and interior, and * * * lives in the middle jiao of the human body, and the spleen governs transport and transformation, while the stomach governs reception. The stomach is like a big bag, which is responsible for grinding the food we eat, while the spleen absorbs the essence of food and converts it into the blood our body needs. Spleen and stomach complement each other, * * * completing the process of digestion, absorption and transportation of food in human body. For example, when the stomach is strong and the spleen is weak, we eat a lot every day. At this time, we need strong motivation to transport, but when the function of the spleen can't keep up, we are still overworked. After a long time, spleen deficiency appeared, spleen yang was insufficient, and Shui Gu's subtle ability decreased. If you eat too much, you have to eat from your stomach.

Therefore, people with a strong stomach and weak spleen generally eat a lot, but they look very thin. This thinness is mainly because the muscles are not nourished and thin, only the muscles are thin. Moreover, people with spleen deficiency and thin face look dry and old, always feel weak, sleep badly and get sick easily. What should I do?

Here, Dr. Shen will share with you a prescription for treating stomach weakness and spleen deficiency, which comes from Zhang Zhongjing's Jingyue Quanshu and is called Gancao Xiexin Decoction.

Ginseng, jujube, roasted licorice and dried ginger in the prescription can replenish qi, strengthen spleen and help spleen yang, and have the effect of relieving spleen deficiency. Coptidis Rhizoma and Scutellariae Radix are bitter and cold products, which have the function of clearing away heat and purging fire. They can reduce stomach fire and calm the stomach. This Pinellia tuber can eliminate dampness and phlegm, and can eliminate phlegm-dampness caused by spleen deficiency.

This recipe can clear stomach fire, replenish qi, tonify middle energizer, help spleen yang and dry dampness, and has a good effect on the situation that the stomach is strong and the spleen is weak, which leads to emaciation and long-term eating is not fat.

However, Dr. Shen reminded everyone that attention should be paid to this situation when it is discovered. Don't eat a lot of food with stomach temper, the function of spleen itself will be very weak, so we won't increase the burden of spleen. Otherwise, the spleen will become weaker and weaker, which will drag down the stomach sooner or later, and the stomach fire will slowly go out. When you eat, you can chew slowly until you are seven or eight full.
