Chinese medicine pays attention to the prevention of both diseases, that is, to prevent the recurrence, repetition and even aggravation of old diseases in spring. Just take one acupoint to cure the weakness, lack of exercise and lack of food! Moreover, the national famous old Chinese medicine doctor Cheng said that this medicine is especially suitable for spleen and stomach problems that are prone to occur frequently in spring.
Can people have a bad appetite in spring? Do we need to worry about spleen and stomach diseases in spring? Cheng Lao said that in this special season of spring, we need to pay special attention to the changes of spleen and stomach diseases.
Everyone knows that the liver should be nourished in spring, but in fact, the spleen and stomach are the most prone to attack after the liver fire gets angry, so many people will have a series of spleen and stomach discomfort problems in spring, such as indigestion, abdominal distension, loss of appetite, weakness of the spleen and stomach, and eating less loose stool.
Cheng Lao reminds everyone that spring is not suitable for eating many special ingredients, such as leeks and green onions.
In view of the hyperactivity of liver qi and its influence on spleen and stomach, Cheng Lao recommended malt, a medicinal material that softens liver and spleen blindly, especially suitable as a diet prescription in spring.
Malt, the bud of wheat, is flat in nature and sweet in taste, belonging to the spleen and stomach meridian. The boiled water is fresh and sweet, which can soften the liver and spleen and stomach, and is effective in solving anorexia, abdominal distension and abnormal defecation.
Malt is divided into raw malt, fried malt and burnt malt. All have the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, but each has its own emphasis.
Raw malt: promoting qi circulation to relieve depression and promote lactation, which is suitable for patients with liver depression and spleen deficiency (loss of appetite due to anger).
Stir-fried malt: breastfeeding. Women usually use it when the milk is still abundant after stopping breastfeeding.
Coke malt: it leads to stagnation, and forms coke three immortals with coke hawthorn and coke divine comedy, which can help digestion.
In spring, nourishing the liver, strengthening the spleen and regulating the stomach is more suitable for using burnt malt.
Boiling water burning malt.
Usage: Boil water with 1.5g-30g burnt malt, which can help digestion, guide stagnation, nourish liver and stomach. If you have serious food accumulation, you can drink it with Jiao Qu Shen and Jiao Hawthorn.
Suitable for people who are particularly irritable, irritable, do not think about diet, indigestion, etc., drink for a while, and then stop after getting better.
We always say that it is easy to get sleepy in spring, but do you know if it is true or not? What disease does fake spring sleep indicate? Cheng Lao said that this is related to the aggravation of heart disease today.
If you are really sleepy because of the season, then you can recover after a rest; But if the "fake spring sleep" is caused by the liver not hiding blood, then this kind of sleep means that everything you want to do is powerless and uninteresting.
"False spring sleep" means that the liver does not hide blood, and heart disease is easy to recur. Chinese medicine says: the liver stores blood, and the heart controls blood. When the liver is stored, the blood function of the heart is normal. When the liver blood is stagnant or insufficient, it will cause the disorder of the blood function of the heart and induce cardiovascular diseases.
Symptoms of liver not storing blood: dry eyes, listlessness, inactivity, slow thinking and anemia.
In view of the "fake spring sleep" in which the liver does not store blood, Cheng Lao introduced an acupoint, which can help us adjust the function of storing blood in the liver.
