The stomach and intestines are an important part of the body's digestive system, and it plays a key role in storing, digesting, and absorbing food. However, modern lifestyle changes and poor dietary Xi habits have led to more and more people suffering from gastrointestinal problems. Typical gastrointestinal symptoms are characterized by three main characteristics: indigestion, stomach pain, and bloating.
First of all, indigestion is a common gastrointestinal problem. Indigestion includes symptoms such as loss of appetite, digestive tract discomfort, hiccups, belching, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dyspepsia is mainly related to weakness of the spleen and stomach, dampness and phlegm turbidity. In order to improve indigestion, we can use the following methods for conditioning:
1.Diet: Eat a light and easy-to-digest diet with less greasy and spicy foods. You can eat more foods that have the effect of strengthening the spleen and eliminating appetite, such as hawthorn, yam, barley, etc.
2.Exercise conditioning: Proper exercise can increase the peristalsis of the stomach and intestines and promote the digestion and absorption of food. It is recommended to do a moderate amount of aerobic exercise every day, such as walking, jogging, etc.
3.Traditional Chinese Medicine Conditioning: There are many famous prescriptions in Chinese medicine that can improve indigestion. For example, Liujunzi Tang is a commonly used spleen and qi regulating formula, which can enhance spleen and stomach function and improve indigestion symptoms.
Second, stomach pain is another common gastrointestinal problem. Stomach pain can manifest as different pain sensations such as dull pain, cramping, burning, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that stomach pain is mainly related to stomach inflammation, uncontrolled diet and mood swings. Here are some ways to treat stomach pain:
1.Diet: Avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as chili peppers, coffee, etc. You can choose foods that are easy to digest like porridge, noodles, etc.
2.Medicinal Diet: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that some Chinese herbal medicines have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and calming stomach qi. For example, Shangqing Stomach Soup is a commonly used stomach cleansing and detoxification remedy that can relieve symptoms of stomach pain.
3.Psychological conditioning: Stomach pain is closely related to mood swings. Maintaining a good mindset and a positive mood is very important for relieving stomach pain. Emotions can be adjusted through meditation, relaxation, etc.
Finally, bloating is another typical manifestation of a bad stomach. Bloating can be accompanied by symptoms such as gas, hiccups, and bad breath. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that abdominal distension is mainly related to weakness of the spleen and stomach, dampness and poor stomach qi. Here are some ways to manage bloating:
1.Diet: Avoid eating too many gas-producing foods, such as beans, onions, etc. You can eat more foods that are easy to digest, such as porridge and vegetables.
2.Traditional Chinese Medicine: There are many famous prescriptions in Chinese medicine that can improve abdominal distention. For example, Qi and Zhong Pill are commonly used to strengthen the spleen and regulate Qi, which can relieve the symptoms of bloating.
3.Abdominal massage: Proper massage can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and relieve bloating. You can use warm palms to gently massage in a clockwise direction on the abdomen.
Through the above treatment methods, we can effectively relieve gastrointestinal discomfort such as indigestion, stomach pain, and bloating. However, if symptoms are severe or persistent, it is advisable to seek medical attention and consult a TCM professional in a timely manner.
