But do you know there is a difference between invigorating spleen and invigorating spleen? Both of them sound good for the spleen, but there are still some differences.
Tonifying spleen: For example, when a person's body is short of iron, it may lead to anemia, so he will be very weak. In this case, we have to supplement the iron element that the body lacks to regulate the symptoms of anemia. Tonifying spleen is the same. When a person's spleen is not good, then the spleen cannot function normally, because the function of the spleen has been damaged, so we must first supplement the energy needed by the spleen and make up the energy damaged by the spleen.
Spleen strengthening: Spleen strengthening is actually to assist the healthy operation of spleen function, that is to say, spleen strengthening is also needed, because when the spleen has energy to operate, it is still weak. At this time, spleen strengthening is needed to help and promote the normal operation of the spleen.
To sum up: invigorating the spleen is energy, and strengthening the spleen is function. If strengthening the spleen is something to be done when the spleen is weak and there is no problem, if it is time to replenish the spleen, it means that the spleen is not weak, but has already had a problem and cannot function normally. And the spleen that has always been said usually includes invigorating the spleen. Just like washing clothes with a washing machine, if the machine is broken, even if the machine is electrified, it will not work normally. Only when the machine itself is repaired, it will be useful to continue electrifying. Therefore, if you want to strengthen the spleen, you must replenish the spleen. First, fill the weak spleen with energy before continuing to strengthen the spleen.
Then many people may ask, I have spleen deficiency. Should I strengthen the spleen or replenish it? In fact, it depends on the degree of damage to your spleen and stomach. Generally speaking, spleen deficiency will have symptoms. If you have only one of the following symptoms, and the symptoms are not serious, what you have to do at this time is to replenish the spleen. And if you take more than one, and the symptoms are obvious, it has brought you discomfort, which means you need to replenish your spleen.
One: cold hands and feet
The blood circulation of people with spleen deficiency will also be affected. For example, sometimes when the hands and feet are seriously congested, generally speaking, the local temperature will rise. On the contrary, when the blood flow is not good, people's hands and feet will have a drop in body temperature or cold limbs, especially those with insufficient yang, which is particularly prone to cold limbs.
Two: sticky stool
Few people will notice this point. Many people with spleen deficiency will have very sticky stools. Usually, after people go to the toilet, the stools will not leave traces on the toilet when flushing, but people with spleen deficiency may lead to unclean stools. This is because the stools are too sticky, which is also one of the symptoms of spleen deficiency.
Three: thick tongue coating with tooth marks
Most patients with spleen deficiency will have such a situation, and they will find that their tongue coating is thick and obvious tooth marks will appear when their teeth are bitten, and the tongue coating will turn white.
Four: yellow complexion and abnormal body shape
Generally speaking, people's mental outlook is ruddy, even if the skin color is not white, it will not look very yellow. Just like some people are sick, they can see at a glance that their faces are khaki, and they look very depressed. The same is true for people with poor spleen and stomach, and they will also be very thirsty.
Abnormal body shape means that some people with spleen deficiency are very thin and some are very obese. People who are emaciated may cause digestive system problems caused by spleen deficiency, unable to absorb nutrients normally or always have symptoms of diarrhea, which may lead to people's emaciation. However, most people look obese, because the metabolism of people with spleen deficiency will be abnormal, and the water in the body can not be discharged normally, which will lead to edema in some people. At the same time, people with spleen deficiency are usually very humid, and people with heavy moisture will also be obese, accompanied by symptoms of limb weakness.
As we all know, when the spleen and stomach are not good, people's qi and blood are not good, because when the spleen and stomach are deficient, qi and blood can't be produced well. Of course, when the qi deficiency is insufficient, it also proves spleen deficiency, so simply speaking, qi and blood interact with the spleen, and if you want to regulate the spleen, qi and blood must keep up.
The first way: through diet therapy.
That is to say, eat some foods that are good for the spleen and stomach, and replenish qi and nourish blood through food, such as yam, which is recorded in Shennong Materia Medica in China. Yam can achieve the effect of tonifying the middle energizer and benefiting qi, and at the same time improve people's muscle strength and have a good effect on eyes and ears, so eating yam properly is also a good choice.
Or use jujube lotus seed porridge, the practice of jujube lotus seed porridge is relatively simple, which has the effect of nourishing the spleen and stomach, and women can also eat beauty beauty, so jujube lotus seed porridge can also be eaten properly.
In addition to the above two foods, you can also eat carrots, oats, black rice, lentils, pumpkins, radishes and protein-high foods in moderation. These foods are very good for people with blood and qi deficiency and spleen and stomach weakness.
The second way: by massaging acupoints.
For example, proper massage at Pishu point and Zusanli point can promote people's spleen and stomach function. Pishu point is directly connected with our spleen and stomach, and Zusanli point has always been called "the first point to strengthen the spleen" in the history of traditional Chinese medicine, so it is also a good effect to massage these two points to stimulate our spleen. Just like schools often ask students to do eye exercises, it is a truth. It takes no time to massage for a few minutes when you are free, and it is good for your health. Massage for 3 minutes before going to bed can be done.
Finally, it is suggested that people with spleen deficiency should pay attention to their daily routine, don't stay up late, give their body organs a sufficient rest time to maintain basic operation, and at the same time, they can also do some exercise in moderation, such as tiptoeing, which also has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, or walking, brisk walking, tai chi and other sports are all good choices to strengthen their health.
These are all methods to regulate spleen deficiency, which can also be classified as "spleen-strengthening method". Both people who need to tonify spleen and people who need to tonify spleen can try these common methods first. If it doesn't work for a long time, it needs to be supplemented with some Chinese medicine, and this needs to be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
