How to regulate spleen and stomach disharmony, old Chinese medicine teaches you how to regulate

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the harmony of yin and yang, but many people suffer from spleen and stomach disharmony due to irregular eating habits. Spleen and stomach disharmony can lead to problems such as spleen and stomach weakness, spleen and stomach discomfort, etc., which can have a great impact on people's digestive system and physiological balance. So how can we regulate spleen and stomach disharmony?

1: The spleen and stomach are the main digestive organs of the human body, and they have an internal and external relationship. The stomach is responsible for receiving and the spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation. The two coordinate with each other and work together to complete the digestive function. Therefore, Chinese medicine calls the spleen and stomach "the foundation of acquired constitution."

2: The stomach is responsible for “receiving” fermented food and water. "Reception" refers to the stomach's acceptance and storage of food, and "decomposition" refers to the stomach's function of initially digesting food. After initial digestion in the stomach, food is divided into two parts: "clear" and "turbid". The clear part is body fluid, which is absorbed, transported and delivered to all parts of the body by the spleen. Hence, there is a saying that "the spleen circulates body fluids for the stomach." The turbid part goes down from the stomach to the small intestine for further digestion.

3: The spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation, which mainly refers to the process of digestion, absorption and transportation of nutrients. One of the main functions of the spleen is to be in charge of transportation and digestion. Food and water enter the stomach. After initial digestion in the stomach, it is sent to the spleen for further digestion and absorption.

1: More and more people pay attention to the health-preserving methods of leg and foot exercises. Studies have shown that regularly moving your toes can help with digestion and protect the stomach. Here's how to do it: Stand relaxed with your toes gripping the ground. Relax slowly after two minutes and repeat several times. This can create alternating relaxation and tension stimulation on the acupoints on the soles of the feet and between the toes. You can also practice pinching things with your second and third toes, or consciously move your toes when sitting or lying down. If you persist, your gastrointestinal function will gradually improve.

2: In addition to simply moving your toes, you can also self-massage your toes after washing your feet. At the same time, you can massage your calves from top to bottom in sequence, the effect will be more obvious. It should be noted that there is no need for the elderly to pay special attention to the rules when exercising their feet. The strength should be within their tolerance and they only need to feel comfortable after the massage. Do not massage when you are too full or too hungry.

1: The spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation. When there is a problem with the spleen, the nutrients digested by the stomach cannot be transported to other parts of the body, and it cannot replenish nutrients to the stomach. The main symptoms caused by spleen disease include: stomach bloating and pain, decreased appetite, indigestion, etc. The stomach is responsible for receiving food. When there is a problem with the stomach, symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, belching, and hiccups are likely to occur.

2: It can be seen from this that the symptoms of spleen and stomach diseases basically appear at the same time. This is why it is difficult to solve the problem by usually "treating the stomach for stomachache". According to TCM theory, stomach problems belong to the category of spleen and stomach problems. When treating stomach problems, spleen problems must also be addressed, truly “treating both the spleen and stomach together.”

If the condition does not heal over time, it will not only affect physical health but also lead to the development of stomach disease symptoms. The causes of spleen and stomach diseases such as indigestion mostly come from the individual's dietary structure and the abuse of antibiotics.
