Yellow skin is the characteristic of the yellow race, but if a woman has a yellow face, most people will be unhappy, because "yellow-faced woman" generally refers to a woman whose youth is gone and she is old and never comes back.
Some time ago, a female customer came to see me. The female customer's surname is elder, 30 years old. She works as a sales planner in a company. Miss Zhang is busy with work, eats irregularly, and her brain runs at a high speed for a long time. For a long time, she suffered from loss of appetite, abnormal stool, soft and shapeless, which is what Chinese medicine called loose stool.
I saw that her face was yellow, she was short of breath and weak, and her mouth was dry, which was obviously a manifestation of spleen deficiency. So I opened Sijunzi decoction to strengthen the spleen and recommended her to drink yam bean porridge. Specifically, I take 30 grams of yam, white lentils 15 grams, japonica rice 15 grams, cook porridge together, and add a little sugar. Drink 1 bowl every day.
Teacher Zhang cooks yam bean porridge every day as I say. After a while, she found that her stomach trouble disappeared, her appetite improved and her stool took shape. What surprised her even more was that her sallow face was gone and her skin was white and ruddy. Her friend asked her what skin care products she had used and told him not to hide them, but to share them quickly.
How can yam bean porridge be related to whitening? This should start with spleen deficiency.
Chinese medicine believes that the liver belongs to wood, the heart belongs to fire, the spleen belongs to earth, the lung belongs to gold and the kidney belongs to water. Each zang-fu organ has a corresponding color: green enters the liver, red enters the heart, yellow enters the spleen, white enters the lung and black enters the kidney. Therefore, the yellow face has the greatest relationship with the spleen. There is something wrong with the function of the spleen and stomach, and the skin often appears dull and yellow. Modern medicine believes that the spleen is an important lymphatic organ of the human body and is called "human blood bank". It can not only make blood, filter blood, but also remove aging blood cells, and has immune function. The spleen mentioned in Chinese medicine not only includes the organ of spleen, but also refers to a system, which has the functions of transporting water and dampness, regulating clear fluid and regulating blood. Some scholars say that the concept of spleen in traditional Chinese medicine may include spleen, pancreas and stomach, but this is only to correspond to modern medicine, and it is still inaccurate in fact.
In the system of traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen and stomach are closely combined, which is also called acquired foundation. It is the hub for digesting, absorbing and transporting nutrients. Once the spleen and stomach are weak, qi and blood will be weak, resulting in insufficient nutrition supply. How can the face skin of malnourished people be good? The spleen is also responsible for the transport and transformation of water and moisture. Once the spleen function is abnormal, body fluid metabolism will be chaotic, detoxification will not be smooth, and the face will turn yellow.
Yam bean porridge is mainly used to strengthen the spleen. Yam is warm, and it is the top grade of invigorating spleen and qi, nourishing yin and moistening lung. It is nourishing without stagnation, neither hot nor dry, especially suitable for women with spleen deficiency. Yam is rich in a variety of amino acids and trace elements, which can provide needed nutrition for the skin and has a unique moisturizing effect. Gao Li, a doctor in the Jin Dynasty, once said the efficacy of yam: "Use it to moisturize the skin and cure dry skin." Lentils are fragrant, mild in nature and yellowish in color, which is very close to the characteristics of spleen. They can strengthen the spleen and stomach, remove dampness and stop diarrhea, and detoxify and regulate qi. Lentils are also rich in nutrients, including protein, lipids, sugars, calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamins. Lentils are rich in vitamin B.
Modern pharmacology has proved that yam contains amylase, polyphenol oxidase and other substances, which is beneficial to digestion and absorption of spleen and stomach. It also has the functions of promoting leukocyte phagocytosis, enhancing immunity and promoting excretion. Moreover, lentils contain phytohemagglutinin, which can also increase the number of white blood cells and the phagocytosis of macrophages and enhance human immunity. Once the spleen and stomach function is improved, the qi and blood are sufficient, the operation is smooth, the skin is nourished, and the face will naturally improve.
Some people may know that lentils contain arginase, which can easily promote melanin production. Can people who want to whiten still eat? Does it make people black? As long as it is properly matched and eaten in moderation, the best effect of food can be exerted.
