Spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow, and deficiency of spleen and stomach leads to all diseases. Therefore, Li Dongyuan, one of the four famous scholars in Jin and Yuan Dynasties, specially wrote a monograph "On Spleen and Stomach", in which he put forward the view that "spleen and stomach are injured internally, and all diseases are caused by health".

1. How is spleen deficiency formed?

First of all, it is improper diet. The food we eat should be transported and absorbed in the spleen and stomach. Once the food we eat exceeds the transport capacity of the spleen and stomach, it will lead to weakness of the spleen and stomach. What kind of food is it? First, raw and cold food, we know that cooking food needs heating or fire, and digestion of food in the spleen and stomach also needs the transport of spleen and yang, while raw and cold food will consume the spleen and stomach, which will lead to deficiency and cold of the spleen and stomach if eaten for a long time. The second is to be fat, sweet and greasy. Spleen itself doesn't like to be wet. Being fat, sweet and greasy will only increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, leading to spleen deficiency and dampness, which will lead to spleen and stomach weakness for a long time. Third, hunger is not enough. People who have irregular meals or skip breakfast or go on a diet to lose weight often have a bad spleen and stomach.

Secondly, there is emotional disharmony. People who are angry at ordinary times and have a bad liver-qi often have spleen deficiency, because the liver can spoil the spleen. Liver depression and spleen deficiency often occur simultaneously. People who are nervous or afraid can also lead to spleen deficiency, because the heart yang or kidney yang is insufficient and cannot warm the spleen yang.

finally, it's hard work. The spleen dominates thinking, thinking too much will hurt the spleen, and thinking too much will hurt the spleen. Physical overwork will consume qi and blood, and spleen and stomach are the source of qi and blood biochemistry.

second, what are the symptoms of spleen deficiency?

If it is not transported, you can see fatigue, heavy limbs and loose stools; Such as weak temper, spontaneous sweating, fever in limbs, scorched hair, alopecia, etc. If the middle qi is insufficient, symptoms such as bloating, stomachache and shortness of breath can be seen; If spleen deficiency and dampness are abundant, obesity, edema, deformed stool and sticky toilet can be seen.
