For example, an aunt Liu has been coughing frequently since 200 1 and has been treated in the respiratory department, but it has no effect. It was not until the gastroenterology department used spleen-stomach therapy that the cough finally stopped.
In fact, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the functions of the five internal organs are interactive. Any problem with viscera may lead to lung failure to express Su and lung qi rising, which may lead to cough.
Winter is the high incidence period of pharyngitis. A friend left us a message: "I have chronic pharyngitis for more than 2 years. I often get sick in winter. I have tried taking medicine and drinking herbal tea, but it is of little use! " Is there any way to help me? "
I found that many patients with chronic pharyngitis, like the friends who left us a message above, made a mistake, that is, mistook their throats for fire and drank a lot of herbal tea to "reduce the fire", which not only failed to cure pharyngitis, but also hurt the spleen and stomach, making them prone to gastrointestinal discomfort and recurrent symptoms of dry throat pain.
You know, although chronic pharyngitis is in the throat, it is actually related to spleen deficiency. Herbal tea is mostly cold, which is easy to spoil the stomach and spleen. Long-term use will make the constitution cold, the symptoms of spleen deficiency will be aggravated, and pharyngitis will be more difficult!
Some people will have questions: How can pharyngitis be related to spleen deficiency?
As early as thousands of years ago, ancestors pointed out in Huangdi Neijing: "The throat is dry and the disease lies in the spleen."
Li Dongyuan, a famous medical scientist in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, also put forward in On Spleen and Stomach: "Spleen and Stomach are weak, due to improper diet strain;" The main body fluid is not good, so my mouth is dry and my throat is dry. "
The relationship between "pharynx" and "spleen" is very close: pharynx is the pathway of diet, and its normal feeding function depends on the healthy exercise of temper; Spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow. Its metaplasia, subtle Shui Gu and upward movement of water nourish the throat.
It can be summarized in one sentence: the loss of spleen health will lead to the loss of pharyngeal nutrition, which is an important cause of chronic pharyngitis.
People suffering from pharyngitis generally feel dry, itchy and painful throat, often cough with excessive phlegm, and always have a burning sensation. This is because the function of the spleen is weakened and the ability to remove body fluid is reduced. There is not enough energy to transport body fluid to the throat, and naturally there will be problems of dry throat and pain.
Tonifying the spleen and stomach, keeping away from pharyngitis.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the throat and nose belong to the lung system, while in the five elements, the lung belongs to gold, the spleen belongs to soil, and the relationship between soil and gold is native gold, that is, the spleen generates lung gold.
Translated into modern language, the phrase "spleen produces lung gold" means that the spleen and stomach have strong functions, which can make the lung system have strong functions. Therefore, strengthening the spleen and benefiting the stomach is the key to stay away from pharyngitis.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow, and there is a saying that all diseases are caused by internal injuries of the spleen and stomach, which means that after the spleen and stomach function is damaged, other diseases will occur one after another, such as "chronic pharyngitis" mentioned in this paper. To judge whether a person has spleen deficiency, you can look at these places:
Look at the nose: the part of the nose governs the spleen. If the nose is red, the spleen and stomach have heat syndrome; If the nose is pale white, there is an unnatural green light inside, indicating that the spleen and stomach are weak.
Look at the lips: people with bad spleen and stomach will have pale lips, no blood color, easy to dry and peel, and drool when sleeping.
Look at your face: a person's face is dull and yellow, probably because of spleen deficiency. This is because the spleen-qi, blood and body fluid are insufficient and cannot provide enough nutrition for the body.
Look at the spirit: spleen deficiency leads to mental fatigue, physical fatigue, loss of appetite or flatulence after meals, lack of temperature in limbs, shortness of breath, fear of cold, obesity, etc., and people are prone to forgetfulness, palpitation and unresponsiveness.
These symptoms may not all appear, but as long as there is a 1 item, it is reminding you: take good care of your spleen and stomach! Cultivate your spleen and stomach, and your body will suffer less!
How to make up for spleen deficiency? Taking medicine and food supplement are both methods, but weakness of spleen and stomach will cause internal resistance of moisture, so it is difficult to absorb the Chinese medicine and food eaten, so taking medicine and food supplement may not work or be weakened.
