How to eat spleen and stomach in spring?
-Chinese medicine believes: "It is advisable to keep sour and sweeten in spring to nourish the temper."
Spleen will be affected when liver qi is strong in spring, so spleen and stomach are prone to weakness in spring, and eating more sour food will make liver yang hyperactive, and spleen and stomach will be inhibited (Chinese medicine believes that liver belongs to wood, spleen and stomach belong to soil, and wood is strong), so it is better to eat less sour and spicy food in spring and eat a little sweet food. Such as yam, lily, fungus and so on. Zhang Shijun, director of Chinese Medicine Department of Beijing Yan Dou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, told us that porridge is the most nourishing for the spleen and stomach and is suitable for all patients with spleen and stomach weakness. For other different symptoms, the following recipes are recommended:
① Deficiency of stomach yin. If you often feel dull pain in your stomach and your appetite is not very good, you will be prone to dry mouth and throat, and even appear weak, red tongue and little fur. This situation belongs to the deficiency of stomach yin, so you can choose to eat some yam, lily and jujube porridge.

Yam has the function of strengthening spleen and stomach; Lily clears away heat and moistens dryness; Jujube and coix seed have the functions of invigorating spleen and regulating stomach, nourishing yin and stomach, clearing away heat and moistening dryness.

What are the spleen and stomach health care methods of traditional Chinese medicine?
Because of the fast pace of life and irregular diet, most modern people have some stomach discomfort. But the pace of work is so fast that there is almost no time for diet therapy. Everyone wants to know some methods that can be convenient in their spare time and can play a role in spleen and stomach health care. Chinese medicine tells you that you can maintain your spleen and stomach without moving your mouth and moving your legs and feet.
Zhang Shijun, director of Beijing Yan Dou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, told us that the stomach meridian in our body passes between the second toe and the third toe of the foot, and there are many acupoints of the digestive system on the calf. The foot three yin of spleen meridian and liver meridian is on the inner side of the calf, the foot three yang of stomach meridian and gallbladder meridian is on the outer side of the calf, and Zusanli, which can strengthen the spleen, is on the outer side three inches below the knee. By massaging these acupoints, you can strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach.
Patients often suffer from flatulence and colic due to weakness of spleen and stomach, and even gastroptosis in severe cases. Professor An has received many such patients, and he also understands why modern people generally have some stomach problems. After comprehensive personal physique and targeted treatment, most patients can get effective relief and physical conditioning, and some people's insomnia symptoms disappear at the same time. Disharmony between the spleen and stomach can sometimes cause insomnia, so we should not underestimate the discomfort of the spleen and stomach. Western medicine mostly treats stomach discomfort by directly suppressing stomach pain, but in fact, the adjustment of spleen-stomach disharmony needs a long-term relaxation and conditioning.
Beijing Yan Dou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine warmly reminds that spleen and stomach weakness should not only be recuperated and maintained in daily life, but also be treated in time, and the physical condition should be recuperated in time to prevent spleen and stomach weakness from further affecting life or developing into more serious diseases.
