Does the old Chinese medicine doctor have a unique way to regulate the spleen and stomach? How to regulate it?

Poor spleen and stomach is a torturous thing, but this condition is also relatively common in clinical practice. Patients will not only feel physically uncomfortable, have no appetite, and lack of energy, but will also feel quite upset. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners have rich experience in treating many diseases. So, do they have any special skills in regulating the spleen and stomach? In order to regulate the spleen and stomach, the following measures can be taken from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine. Please see the report below for details.

1. To strengthen the spleen and stomach, you must first nourish your mood

The spleen and stomach have "emotions", and "emotional health care" is also to nourish the spleen and stomach. In daily life, we often have this experience: when we are depressed and in low spirits, we will lose our appetite, while a relaxing environment and a happy mood will increase your appetite.

Studies have found that about 70% of stomach problems are related to emotions, and those with stomach dysfunction are 3.1 to 4.4 times more likely to suffer from depression and other emotional illnesses than the average person. Since "emotional" changes can often cause changes in gastrointestinal function, the stomach is called the "barometer" of human emotional changes.

Traditional Chinese medicine has long been aware that "emotions can hurt the stomach", so ancient sages often emphasized "regulating emotions" in the treatment of stomach problems. This to a certain extent shows that emotions have an important impact on the spleen and stomach. Therefore, if we want to nourish the spleen and stomach, we must first regulate our mood.

2. Whole grain diet strengthens the spleen and stomach

The spleen and stomach are the organs of storage. Diet and health care start with nourishing the spleen and stomach.

Water and grain are the basis of human life, and the stomach is responsible for receiving water and grain, so the best thing to nourish the spleen and stomach is grains. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says: "Five grains for nourishment, five fruits for assistance, five animals for benefit, and five vegetables for filling." This means that grains (staple foods) are the foundation of people's survival, while fruits, vegetables, and meat are all auxiliary and play a tonic role.

3. Choose appropriate exercise to benefit the spleen and stomach

Experts believe that it is best to choose a gentle, low-intensity, small amount of, and continuous exercise method. After exercise, the body will sweat slightly, the muscles and bones will be stretched, and it is best not to feel overly tired. It is not suitable to sweat profusely after exercise, because this type of exercise consumes energy and damages body fluids, which will aggravate the symptoms of shortness of breath and fatigue and reduce our body's immune function.

Experts suggest that Tai Chi is the preferred sport for people who are prone to shortness of breath and wheezing, because Tai Chi movements are slow and smooth, and require breathing regulation during the exercise. For example, the most common 'Qi Sinking into Dantian' requires practitioners to use their mind to guide the Qi to the abdomen so that it cannot float up. In fact, these exercises are very beneficial for people who suffer from shortness of breath when moving.
