Today's autumnal equinox, the autumn drought is fiercer than the tiger. Are you always tired and weak? "Strengthening the spleen and tonifying the kidney" helps you ease the autumn deficiency easily!

God is tired in autumn, and so is his body. What's going on here?

As the saying goes, "Spring is sleepy and autumn is lacking". When the air is crisp in autumn, the temperature is pleasant, which is a rare comfortable day in a year. Many people feel tired and sleepy. Even if they sleep well at night, they still feel lack of energy during the day, as if they will never get enough sleep.

Autumn deficiency itself is a normal natural phenomenon, which can be understood as a compensation response of the human body to the extraordinary consumption in midsummer and a protective measure for the body to recover in the autumn climate. Those who are seriously lacking in autumn will be depressed all day, which will seriously affect their work and life.

The formation of autumn deficiency is generally due to the decline of yang in autumn, yin and blood gradually accumulate in it, but it is not true, so there is still a feeling of "deficiency" However, different people have different levels of enrichment. A healthy person is full of blood and viscera, so the image of fatigue is not obvious. People with obvious autumn deficiency are often tired, lazy and depressed because of deficiency of both spleen and kidney, lack of blood and biochemistry, and lack of nourishment of viscera and limbs. The formation of deficiency of spleen and kidney can be roughly divided into the following three reasons:

1.

Summer heat is the main qi in summer, and it is the evil force transformed from fiery qi, which has the characteristics of heat, rising, dispersing and dampness. Among them, "dispersing" refers to the invasion of summer evil into human body, which can cause sweating and sweating, which not only hurts body fluids, but also consumes gas. Therefore, in addition to the symptoms of body fluid injury such as thirst and hematuria, there are often symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue and anorexia.

However, the pathogenic factors of summer heat are mostly pathogenic factors of dampness, all of which are due to the hot summer climate and frequent wet rain, so damp heat is the most harmful to the spleen and stomach. In addition, modern people like cold drinks in summer, or immerse themselves in air-conditioning fans for a long time, which is even more cold and evil, leading to weakness of spleen and yang.

Therefore, if you don't pay attention to the summer heat and humidity, your living habits will be bad, and your temper will often be frustrated by the summer heat and humidity. In autumn, your spleen and stomach are weak, your transportation is insufficient, and your yang is not rising.

2. Autumn dryness and evil rob kidney yin

Drying is the main air in autumn. In autumn, everything gathers and the chilly weather is obvious. Decreased rainfall, dry climate and water loss. At this time, dryness invades the human body, which is most likely to damage body fluids, and then consume the viscera and yin essence of the human body.

Kidney is the innate essence of human viscera. Su Wen Qian Gu naively said: "Kidney controls water and is hidden by the essence of five internal organs", which means that yin is damaged by dryness and evil, and eventually the yin essence of kidney will be lost. In autumn, the lung is dominant, and the relationship between lung and kidney is alternating between gold and water, which hurts people. If the lungs are covered with flowers, they will suffer first. If the lung is damaged by dryness, lung yin deficiency will further lead to kidney yin deficiency.

3. Spleen and kidney are connected with qi in summer and autumn, which is easy to become the image of deficiency of both.

Spleen is the foundation of acquired, kidney is the foundation of congenital, and the relationship between spleen and kidney is the relationship between acquired and congenital. Acquired and innate support and promote each other. Spleen governs Shui Gu's subtle transport, transforming qi and blood, which is the foundation of the day after tomorrow; Kidney storing essence, the main life door is really fire, which is the foundation of congenital. The transportation and transformation of the spleen must be warm and steamed by kidney yang in order to be healthy. Kidney essence depends on spleen transport and Shui Gu subtle supplement, so it can be filled.

As "Drinking in a Bar in a Medical Door" said: "The spleen and stomach can be biochemical, which is actually inspired by the kidney's Yuan Yang, and Yuan Yang keeps secrets, and the reason why it can be kept secret is that the spleen and stomach can be biochemical and nourish the ears." Therefore, spleen and kidney are easy to communicate with qi in summer and autumn, because they promote each other. Once the viscera, qi, blood, yin and yang are diseased, they will quickly spread to each other, forming an image of deficiency of both spleen and kidney.

Autumn is as fierce as a tiger

Regulating internal and external causes, strengthening the spleen and tonifying the kidney can be withdrawn.

In addition to spleen and kidney deficiency as the basic pathogenesis, patients with severe autumn deficiency should still pay attention to TCM syndrome differentiation and classification in clinical diagnosis and treatment, and make specific analysis according to the patient's performance characteristics. There are three common clinical classifications and how to care for your daily diet under corresponding circumstances:

General treatment should be based on invigorating qi and spleen, and prescriptions such as Jianpi Pill can be used at ordinary times. In daily rest, we should pay attention to avoid fatigue, and the diet should be light, digestible and nutritious. Among them, yam, as a nourishing Chinese medicine, is also a good food commonly used by people. It is listed as the top grade in Shennong Materia Medica, and it is good at tonifying kidney and spleen, regulating lung and resolving phlegm, prolonging life, treating diarrhea due to spleen deficiency, lethargy, lumbago due to kidney deficiency, nocturnal emission, wet dream, cough due to lung deficiency, etc.

The treatment of this kind of patients is mainly nourishing yin and moistening dryness, and Zuogui Pill is used. In daily nursing, we should pay attention to quitting smoking, maintaining good habits of work and rest, and eating lightly. We can also often eat some soft food, such as fresh yam, tremella, ginkgo, pear, lotus seeds, sugar cane and so on.

3. Yang deficiency type: it is more common in people who are old and weak, injured by cold drinks in summer, and suffering from cold in winter and spring. In autumn, besides listlessness, people often have sallow complexion, lack of food, fatigue, little talk, chills and cold limbs, impotence, excessive or uncontrollable urination, loose stools, bowel sounds, abdominal pain, cold or careless diet, and pale tongue with white fur.

In the treatment, methods of warming middle warmer and nourishing Yang Can can be adopted, such as Gui You Pill or Lizhong Decoction. Pay attention to cold and warmth in daily life, stay away from frozen and cold food, and do more outdoor activities. You can try beef and mutton, red dates, fennel, ginger, Cynomorium songaricum and longan meat in your diet.
