I just don't think I eat too much, but my stomach has always been bulging. After lying down, my abdomen will make some noise, and I often have diarrhea when I go to the toilet.
In the view of Chinese medicine, these symptoms are the result of eating cold food and drink, which leads to cold in the spleen and stomach.
A common saying in TCM health preservation is that the spleen likes dryness and hates dampness. If spleen deficiency, so much is the cause of cold and dampness.
So it doesn't hurt spleen yang; After the deficiency of spleen yang, the spleen and stomach become abnormal under the consumption of cold food. Even if you eat very little, the digestion of food in your stomach will consume spleen yang.
Coupled with eating some cold food, the loss of spleen yang will be more, and the digestion of food in the stomach will be slower, which is the reason for frequent bloating.
That bowel sound is due to spleen deficiency and dampness, which needs to be excreted through the intestine. Originally, when defecating, water was rarely needed. Now the water and moisture accumulated by spleen deficiency have gone to the intestine, and diarrhea is a matter of course.
If the intestine is too dry, constipation and dry stool will occur. If the humidity is too high, you will have diarrhea.
People with spleen-yang deficiency often have a white greasy tongue coating and a sticky feeling in their mouth. Because of spleen deficiency, there will be obvious tooth marks on their tongues. In addition to these, there will be fear of eating raw and cold food, which is easy to have diarrhea.
Then how to solve the situation of spleen yang being cold?
Here, I want to tell you a small prescription with only two herbs: Houpu decoction; Includes magnolia bark and dried ginger.
Let's take a look at this magnolia bark first: it is known as "promoting qi and eliminating bloating requires medicine", and there will be gas accumulation after the spleen and stomach are cold. Secondly, Magnolia officinalis also has the function of strengthening the spleen and drying dampness.
But dried ginger is a kind of hot Chinese medicine, and it is a dry rhizome. In this regard, it needs to play the role of "warming the middle and dispelling the cold". In warmth, it warms the spleen and stomach, and dispelling cold is also the cold of the spleen and stomach.
Moreover, dried ginger also has the function of strengthening spleen and strengthening yang. Generally speaking, dried ginger is the "nemesis" of cold evil.
The combination of these two drugs can dispel cold, strengthen spleen, dry dampness and promote qi circulation. Although the party is small, it has considered all aspects.
However, Dr. Wang still wants to tell you that there must be accurate syndrome differentiation before medication. Don't use drugs blindly.
