Chinese medicine has found that diarrhea is a very common phenomenon at the turn of spring and summer since ancient times, so it puts forward the idea of nourishing the spleen and stomach in spring and summer. In fact, in our body, if we want to evaluate our intestinal function, there are four foundations. If you don't have these four symptoms, your digestive function is relatively healthy. If there are these manifestations, it is necessary to nurse the stomach and improve its function in time.
1. Eating too much is easy to bloat.
Chinese medicine believes that the gastrointestinal tract belongs to soil, and its function is to metabolize nutrition and absorb digestive substances for our human body to use. The spleen and stomach are like a digestion workshop. Whenever food enters, it will start to work, secreting stomach acid and digestive juice to digest food. But once the gastrointestinal tract is unhealthy, the digestive ability will be weakened. Just like a machine failure in a factory, food entering our gastrointestinal tract will not be digested in time, leading to abdominal distension and belching. Such symptoms indicate that the digestive function of our spleen and stomach is declining. You can't eat too much at ordinary times. Might as well eat some hawthorn and dried tangerine peel. Spleen and stomach, help digestion.
2. Stomach pain on an empty stomach
I have a stomachache when I don't eat, especially about half an hour before eating. I have a terrible stomachache, suggesting that there may be a gastric ulcer. Gastric ulcer refers to the excessive secretion of gastric acid and digestive juice before eating, and there is no food to relieve these digestive juices, which makes gastric acid damage our gastric mucosa. Over time, the barrier of our digestive tract will be destroyed, and symptoms such as erosion and ulcer will appear. The law of pain in this group of people is very obvious, and the pain will be particularly severe before eating. Eat something, the digestive juice will be neutralized, and the pain will be relieved. Therefore, such people need to take drugs to reduce gastric acid secretion and ulcers.
3. Easy to have loose bowels
This is also an important manifestation of unhealthy spleen and stomach, manifested as diarrhea when nervous, or seasonal changes, vomiting and diarrhea after a cold, which is caused by the decline of spleen and stomach function and is easily affected by the external environment. Some people go to the toilet four or five times a day at the turn of spring and summer. For this kind of people, we should pay attention to the regulation of spleen and stomach function, and need to take some drugs to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness.
4. Gastrointestinal deficiency and cold, afraid of cold
People with stomach deficiency and cold will not only feel discomfort in the upper abdomen, but also feel particularly cold in the abdomen, and want to warm up with something like hot water bottles. People with stomach deficiency and cold will also have diarrhea and abdominal pain. This kind of people can use some drugs that warm and tonify the spleen and stomach in their daily life, such as cinnamon, codonopsis pilosula and astragalus.
If you want to regulate the spleen and stomach, you can start with diet, eat more light and less greasy, and have three meals regularly, so you can't skip a meal, which will hurt the spleen and stomach. You can also choose moxibustion, such as moxibustion at Zusanli and Zhongwan points, which has certain effects.
