Good spleen and stomach function, vigorous qi and blood, strong body; Spleen and stomach weakness, all diseases. Many times, regulating the spleen and stomach may be the key! However, how to regulate the spleen and stomach? Learn and remember the eight methods in this article!

Taoist doctors believe that qi and blood of human body are transformed from spleen and stomach, so spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow. However, improper diet, overeating, excessive anxiety, partial eclipse and uneven hunger in life may hurt the spleen and stomach. Spleen and stomach in Taoist medicine refers to spleen meridian and stomach meridian, and stomach governs digestion. It is said that spleen contributes to the function of stomach digestion, so it is called both.

On Su Wen Linglan's Secret Book: "The spleen and stomach are the officials of the granary, and the five flavors are different."

Seven Trillions of Clouds (Volume 36): Mid-Autumn Festival means that the liver of the moon stores less qi, and the lung stores only the king, so it is appropriate to help the liver qi, tonify tendons and nourish the spleen and stomach. "

The negative textbook "Old Pupil III" pays off: "(Fresh in the same place) I ate several cups of original wine in the apartment, which hurt my spleen and stomach and broke my stomach."

Taoist doctors believe that the Zangxiang theory holds that the five elements of the spleen and stomach belong to the soil and belong to the middle jiao, and * * * bears the heavy responsibility of transforming qi and blood, so the spleen and stomach are both "biochemical sources of qi and blood", and the qi and blood (equivalent to what we call energy) of the human body are transformed from the spleen and stomach by food. It is also said that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow and the foundation of human survival.

From birth to growth, people need a lot of energy for study, work and entertainment when they grow up, and these energies all come from diet, but diet can only be transformed into qi and blood energy through the cooperation of spleen and stomach.

Li Dongyuan emphasized that the spleen and stomach should be treated when the five zang-organs are diseased, and the treatment of spleen and stomach diseases should be started by calming the five zang-organs, which expanded the treatment methods of spleen and stomach diseases. Ye's stomach-nourishing drink added new contents to the clinical application of spleen and stomach theory.

Only when it is steamed in the lower coke can it be transported. " Tonifying the spleen is better than tonifying the kidney. However, in practice, many people still advocate that tonifying kidney is better than strengthening spleen, which is more in line with clinical practice. For example, Zhang Jingyue said, "The sea of water valley is based on nature, and the sea of Jingxue is based on the future. Congenital deficiency, but those who are cultivated the day after tomorrow can also be strong. "

Zhou Shenzhai said: "If you don't treat all diseases, you will find nothing in the spleen and stomach. Why do you say it?

Invigorating the kidney is better than invigorating the spleen, which is also called. There are a lot of people who can't cure diseases, looking for spleen and stomach. "Shi Yinan's" Medical Garden "said:" The fetus is weak and congenitally deficient, and people can't control it. It depends on the afterlife to make up for the congenital deficiency.
