What to do if you feel upset in your stomach, fatigue, and drowsiness?

Sun Wenyin, a famous doctor in the Ming Dynasty, once said: "Once the spleen and stomach are injured, the five internal organs will lose their vitality." This means that the spleen and stomach have a great influence on the five internal organs. If the spleen and stomach are damaged, the source of Qi and blood will be deficient, affecting the five internal organs.

To put it simply, the functioning of the internal organs is like a circle. In this circle, the spleen and stomach are the central axis, and everything revolves around them. All diseases are attributed to the dysfunction of this circle.

If you don't take good care of your spleen and stomach when you are young, all kinds of problems will pop up when you get older. Therefore, if you do not maintain a good spleen and stomach at the age of 30, you will suffer at the age of 60.
