In fact, Huangdi Neijing records that the spleen and stomach are interlinked, and Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is the source of qi and blood biochemistry and the foundation of the day after tomorrow. It also participates in the digestive system and has a great responsibility in the human body. Therefore, when the spleen is weak, it will bring a lot of harm to the body. Later, there was a saying that if the spleen is weak, people will be wasted by half! Some people think this statement is a bit exaggerated. They don't think the spleen has such a great influence. Let's take a concrete look at what harm spleen deficiency will bring to the body.
When spleen deficiency occurs, people are wasted by half. Why do you say that?
Abnormal digestion:
Because the spleen is a member of the digestive system, it plays an important role, so when the spleen is weak, it will damage the digestive function, resulting in weakened digestive ability and poor ability to transport water and dampness, which may cause some problems, such as indigestion and loss of appetite. Obviously, this is your favorite food. You have no appetite at all. Sometimes there may be nausea and vomiting.
In addition, there will be abnormal changes in stool. If the excess water in the body can't be transported out, it will accumulate in the body, resulting in too much water in the stool. When defecating, you will find that defecation is not easy to form and it is sticky. If this series of changes occur, it shows that the spleen is weak and the gastrointestinal function is affected, which needs to be adjusted in time.
Physical exposure problems:
Obesity is a major manifestation of spleen deficiency. However, obesity here is a little different from normal obesity. Normal obesity is true fat, and obesity caused by spleen deficiency is usually puffiness. More strictly speaking, edema. Because the moisture in the body is too wet, it will cause difficulty in fat metabolism, which will lead to obesity. For this kind of obesity, it is impossible to lose weight in a normal way.
Qi and blood circulation is blocked:
Spleen has the function of biochemical blood. Once spleen deficiency occurs, the operation of qi and blood will be affected, and qi and blood are the suppliers of various functions and tissues of the human body. If there is a problem with the supplier, the ability of the main tissues of the human body will also decline, resulting in problems. In particular, several organs are easily affected, namely liver, kidney and heart. These places need a lot of blood supply. If they can't provide enough energy, the health of several organs will also have problems.
From the above hazards, we can know that spleen deficiency does involve many problems, and a statement that spleen deficiency will waste half a person has also been verified, which may be a bit exaggerated, but its impact on overall health cannot be ignored.
Since spleen deficiency has such a great influence on the body, how to strengthen the spleen and stomach?
Strengthening the spleen and stomach depends on invigorating the spleen. To replenish the spleen, we must first distinguish what kind of spleen deficiency it is, so as to carry out targeted conditioning. Please refer to the following specific instructions:
Spleen deficiency is divided into six types: spleen deficiency, spleen yang deficiency, spleen yin deficiency, spleen failing to control blood, spleen deficiency with dampness resistance and spleen depression.
Deficiency of spleen-qi: usually manifested as deficiency of both qi and blood, people are prone to fatigue, and one or two things can be seen from their faces. Their faces are not rosy, but a little yellow, and the whole person will look listless.
Conditioning method: tonify qi and blood. Acupoint massage or moxibustion can be used to make qi and blood flow smoothly in the body and ensure the normal operation of the spleen. It is recommended to massage or moxibustion at Qihai and Zusanli points.
Spleen yang deficiency: mostly yang deficiency, manifested as fear of cold, tepid limbs, pale face and poor spirit.
Conditioning: The method of nourishing Yang Can begins with daily conditioning, including diet and sleep. The diet is mainly warm food, so you should give up drinking. Sleep, stay up late, form a regular routine, plus reasonable exercise, often soak your feet, you can add Artemisia argyi and Zanthoxylum bungeanum to soak your feet, and the effect of nourishing yang will be better.
Damp resistance due to spleen deficiency: spleen deficiency leads to excessive moisture in the body, with common manifestations: sticky tongue coating, easy stool sticking to the toilet, obesity and edema.
Conditioning: Eliminate moisture in the body in time, and the spleen can gradually become stronger. To remove moisture, you can first look at whether it is external or internal. External humidity is usually affected by environmental factors, and it can be gradually relieved if it is separated from the humid environment. If there is internal dampness, exercise can improve the body's bad metabolic ability, regulate the spleen's transport ability, and expel excess moisture from the body.
Spleen yin deficiency: Spleen yin deficiency refers to excessive yang in the body, which will lead to insufficient yin. When yin is weak, yang is too strong, which easily leads to dry mouth and constipation.
Conditioning: It is a better way to reduce fire in time. You can eat some cold foods, such as mung beans, cucumbers, chrysanthemums, etc., which have the effect of clearing away heat and reducing fire.
Syndrome of spleen-qi depression and spleen failing to control blood: Qi deficiency and blood deficiency, both of which can be in the same tone, manifested as turbid urine, insomnia, irregular menstruation and dizziness.
Conditioning: We should ensure emotional management and maintain a good attitude. At the same time, we should strengthen physical exercise, aerobic and anaerobic, and we can travel more to improve our mental state. At the same time, we can exercise, and the operation of qi and blood will be adjusted, and then we can eat some food that can replenish qi and nourish blood.

Otherwise, it will bring more problems to the body, the spleen will become stronger and the body will be guaranteed. Don't let spleen deficiency ruin my health.
