Spleen and stomach are closely related to liver and gallbladder: in the five elements of TCM, wood (liver) is Kelly soil (spleen); In western medicine, gastrointestinal hepatobiliary belongs to the digestive system; So regulate the spleen and stomach first, and then clean up the liver and gallbladder. On the contrary, in some cases, clearing the liver and benefiting the gallbladder is helpful to improve the function of spleen and stomach. In short, it is necessary to follow the mechanism of yin-yang and five elements in traditional Chinese medicine in order to observe it as a whole.
Gastrointestinal tract is not only the only tissue and organ that can digest, absorb food, water and excrete feces, but also an important physiological environment for human body to thrive with 100 trillion microorganisms. More than 70% of human immunity is related to whether the intestinal phase is normal or not, so Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow, and has emphasized that diseases enter from the mouth since ancient times.
There is a saying that "all diseases are caused by various factors, and all causes are toxic", and hepatolithiasis is no exception. However, on the other hand, the liver is the largest detoxification organ in the human body. Chinese medicine believes that "the liver governs the discharge, and good and evil are distributed throughout the body". Once the gastrointestinal function is abnormal and the bile duct system is blocked, it will seriously affect the normal operation of organs such as liver, gallbladder and pancreas, and will also lead to digestive, circulatory, respiratory, defecation, urination and nervous systems, which will easily lead to heart disease, joint disease and depression.
Advocating and advocating "clearing the gastrointestinal tract and clearing the liver and gallbladder" is based on conditioning the spleen and stomach first and then clearing the liver and gallbladder; And pay great attention to aftercare. Compared with the formula of "lemon juice+olive oil+apple juice+laxative salt", it is mild and harmless in theory, practice and results.
