Why does TCM emphasize the need to regulate the spleen and stomach?
Spleen is an important lymphatic organ in our body. Spleen has many functions and rich blood volume, so it can replenish blood to other organs in time. It is also called "human blood bank". How can we protect such an important organ? Next, let's look at what it feels like to replenish the spleen from the perspective of Chinese medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spleen is the dirty of wet soil, which is the main transport and transformation, and dampness is the yin evil, which hurts spleen and yang. There are two kinds of asplenia:

First, the spleen is too wet, leading to puffiness. Dampness seriously damages the spleen-yang qi and spleen-yang, so that food cannot be transformed into nutrition. However, if it stays in water for a long time, it becomes turbid and accumulates as fat.

Second, thinking hurts the spleen, indicating that people are particularly thin. You won't get fat if you eat too much. This is what Chinese medicine says: "the stomach is strong and the spleen is weak." Food can't be absorbed at all, it will pile up into garbage and eventually become moisture. At this time, you must mobilize your vitality to dry and wet, and consume more people's energy. In other words, a person's obesity or emaciation is related to the dysfunction of spleen and stomach and the damage of spleen yang.
