Original Xie Hua TCM lectures on Parkinson's disease knowledge Sometimes, Parkinson's patients will encounter such a situation: whether they eat a delicious meal or a light side dish, they will feel that the taste in their mouth is thin and tasteless, and even accompanied by symptoms of loss of appetite.
So, why does it happen that the mouth is weak?and how should Parkinson's patients cope?
1. What is the problem of Parkinson's patients' weak mouth?
A bland taste is when the taste sensation in the mouth becomes thin or tasteless. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, light mouth is related to the dysfunction of the spleen and stomach. The spleen and stomach are important organs in our body for digesting and absorbing nutrients, and their health directly affects our perception of the taste of food.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen is through the mouth, and the spleen and mouth can know the grains. The meaning of this sentence is that if the spleen and stomach function normally, we can feel the taste of various foods normally. And when the spleen and stomach lose their healthy functioning, a weak mouth may occur. This condition is usually caused by poor diet, overwork, or poor mood and damage to the spleen and stomach.
For Parkinson's patients, pale mouth may be due to the disease itself affecting the function of the spleen and stomach. Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder that causes symptoms such as movement disorders and muscle stiffness. In TCM theory, these symptoms are related to damage to the spleen and stomach. When the function of the spleen and stomach is impaired, the ability to digest and absorb is weakened, which leads to a decrease in taste sensation or tastelessness in the mouth.
For example, imagine you eat a cherry, but you can't feel its sweet taste, which is what it feels like to have a light mouth. This condition can be common for Parkinson's patients because their spleen and stomach function is affected.
2. What are the reasons for "weak mouth"?
The first reason is a weak spleen and stomach.
Weakness of the spleen and stomach can be due to poor diet, frequent vomiting or diarrhea, long-term chronic illness, etc. When the qi and blood of the spleen and stomach are weak and unable to transport and transfer nutrients normally, people will lose interest in food and feel weak or tasteless in their mouths. The second reason is the wet resistance to medium coke. Dampness is a disease in TCM theory, which can be caused by external dampness invading the spleen and stomach, or by improper diet. When moisture is trapped in the spleen and stomach, interfering with the normal process of digestion and absorption, the mouth will feel light and sticky, and lose the sensitivity of taste. As an example, imagine that you are in a rainy season afternoon, and it is humid outside, and you take a bite of white rice, but it feels tasteless and a little greasy in your mouth. This is the feeling of a light mouth caused by wet resistance and medium focus. For Parkinson's patients, a light mouth can also be caused by both of these reasons. Parkinson's disease itself affects the function of the nervous system and muscles, including the spleen and stomach, resulting in weakness of the spleen and stomach and dampness in the middle of the focus. 3. How to alleviate the "weak mouth"?
1. Traditional Chinese medicine ** Traditional Chinese medicine believes that light mouth is generally related to stomach yin deficiency, dry mouth, liver and kidney loss, qi deficiency and other symptoms. Therefore, in terms of medicine, wolfberry, lily, polygonatum japonica, asparagus, angelica, astragalus, etc. of traditional Chinese medicine have the effect of nourishing yin and moisturizing dryness, and they are all better choices. Of course, the specific ** plan also needs to be adjusted according to individual differences. 2. In addition to traditional Chinese medicine, daily diet is also an important part of relieving light mouth. Parkinson's patients should eat more foods that nourish yin and moisturize dryness, such as mung beans, sesame seeds, kelp, fungus, lotus seeds, etc., which have a certain effect on nourishing yin and moisturizing dryness, and have a good effect on relieving the symptoms of light mouth. In addition, Parkinson's patients also need to pay attention to some details in their diet, such as eating less spicy and stimulating food, drinking less stimulant drinks such as coffee, and maintaining good oral hygiene. In short, for Parkinson's patients, the problem of pale mouth can be alleviated by traditional Chinese medicine** and dietary therapy. However, everyone's physical condition is different, remember to consult a professional TCM practitioner before trying TCM** to ensure that you choose the right one** plan. I wish Parkinson's patients a speedy day**!
