Health Jun remembers that when I was a child, if my old neighbor was seriously ill and bedridden, the elders would sigh: I'm afraid XXX's illness is incurable and he doesn't want to eat anything. At that time, I was still young, I didn't think much, and I didn't have any special concepts. But looking back now, I will ask: Why is it that the patient can't eat anything, which means that his condition has deteriorated? Moreover, everyone should have the experience that when you are sick, even if you have a cold, you will have no appetite and don't want to eat during your illness. When your appetite suddenly increases, it means that you will get well soon. So, what is the mystery between disease and appetite? Chinese medicine says: "Internal injury of the spleen and stomach leads to all diseases". In other words, if the spleen and stomach are damaged, other diseases will follow. Why? Huangdi Neijing said, "All five zang-organs are endowed with qi in the stomach, and the stomach is also the foundation of the five zang-organs", "If there is stomach qi, you will live, but if there is no stomach qi, you will die". What does this mean? Of course, the importance of "stomach" in the human body is emphasized. It is so important that all the internal organs rely on stomach qi to play their normal functions and maintain their ability to prevent and resist diseases. Stomach qi is a matter of life and death for people. This is because, if the stomach qi is insufficient and the appetite naturally does not open, then there will be two effects. On the one hand, it affects digestion and absorption and reduces disease resistance; On the other hand, symptomatic soup will affect absorption and reduce drug efficacy because of poor appetite, both of which fundamentally affect people's health. Therefore, let the appetite open, increase absorption, absorption, and strengthen the immune function, and people's health will get better. The importance of "appetizing" for disease prevention and health care is self-evident. As long as you have an appetite and can eat, your condition will gradually improve. But no matter how light the illness is, if you can't eat, it will continue to get worse. In other words, no matter what disease you see, you should start with your stomach. Have a bad appetite, have an appetite first and then consider others. Therefore, Shen Shi Gynecology Department, who has more than 600 years' medical experience, thinks that it is useless to maintain health by paying attention to stomach qi first, that is, putting "appetizing" in the first place and omitting "protecting stomach qi". Then, the question came three times in a row: how to suspense? How to protect stomach qi? How to keep your stomach full? Shen Shaogong (hereinafter referred to as "Shen Lao"), a descendant of Shen Shi Gynecology Department, shared the wonderful method of "appetizing" in the book "Great Traditional Chinese Medicine: Shen Shi's Six Hundred Years of Juexue". Diet is the main material source of human life activities. Only when food is eaten and absorbed can it nourish the essence of the five internal organs, support the mental activities of the body, and play a role in strengthening the body, nourishing the heart and calming the nerves, so appetizing is very important. So, who needs appetizers? As the saying goes, ten people have nine stomachs. Nowadays, many young people have stomach problems. In daily life, we can first observe whether our stomach function is normal through self-examination. Manifestations of abnormal gastric function: stomachache, cold stomach, stomach acid, fullness, burping, halitosis, frequent constipation, loss of appetite, cold hands and feet, backache, loose stool, stains on cheeks, emaciation or obesity. If you find something wrong with your stomach, you should pay attention to it immediately and take measures to solve it immediately, otherwise it will lead to great disaster. In other words, people with indigestion, poor appetite and weak spleen and stomach need appetizers. Appetizing is not only to increase the absorption of nutrients, but also to promote digestive function. So, what is the best appetizer? It is not a rare and precious food, but a common food with the same origin of medicine and food. These four appetizers are commonly used in gynecology in Regret for the Past: raw coix seed, white lentils, orange peel and hawthorn. Coix seed has the functions of invigorating spleen and promoting diuresis, clearing heat and promoting diuresis; Coix seed is mild in medicinal properties, and its function is mainly to eliminate dampness. It is best to eat it raw and cook it into porridge, and the effect will be better. Although white lentils are not as strong as Atractylodes macrocephala, they are not greasy for strengthening the spleen and are not dry, which is especially suitable for people with spleen deficiency and dampness. Orange peel is an important drug for regulating qi and strengthening spleen, eliminating dampness and resolving phlegm, reducing adverse reactions and stopping vomiting. Hawthorn is a traditional Chinese medicine, which is said to be a good medicine for promoting digestion, promoting qi circulation and removing blood stasis. Nowadays, people eat a lot of fish and meat. If they eat too much meat, it is easy to accumulate food. Shen Lao recommended a prescription for gynecology in Shen Shi: Jianpi Kaiwei Powder. Composition: Stir-fry Fructus Crataegi, Fructus Hordei Germinatus, and Massa Medicata Fermentata, grind into powder in equal amount, and take it with warm water, 3g each time. This is a small prescription to help digestion and stimulate appetite. # Chinese medicine is coming # Health care products, click "Learn more" ↓↓↓ Disclaimer: The above content comes from the Internet, and the copyright belongs to the original author.
