Traditional Chinese medicine point of view: the stomach, small intestine and large intestine are abnormal and need to regulate the spleen and stomach.
Modern people have great work pressure, irregular diet and routine, and are often prone to digestive system diseases, including gastroesophageal reflux and peptic ulcer (such as gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer), all of which belong to digestive system diseases. Dr. Wu Jiandong said that from the perspective of Chinese medicine, it belongs to the category of spleen and stomach, including the imbalance of stomach, small intestine and large intestine, and it is necessary to regulate the spleen and stomach. Moreover, Chinese medicine attaches importance to the spleen and stomach, and even regards it as the foundation of the day after tomorrow, or it is called "Middle Earth", which means congenital defects and poor physique, which can be improved by regulating the spleen and stomach. Even some diseases that are not directly related to the spleen and stomach, such as frequent urination and poor sleep, will consider using some gastrointestinal drugs to promote the absorption of drugs.
Because the spleen and stomach are so important, there are quite a few problems that will affect digestion and absorption, such as unclean diet, eating cold and drinking cold, emotional problems and abnormal life, which may all cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Whether it is inflammation or a cold, as long as it hinders the digestive function of the stomach, it may cause problems such as stomach pain and flatulence. This kind of gastrointestinal discomfort is called "heart distension" in Chinese medicine, that is, there is discomfort in the heart socket. From feeling unwell to swelling and even pain, it indicates that there is something wrong with the stomach. Therefore, Chinese medicine will try its best to improve whether it is a new disease or an old one.
