Health for All says
In recent years, the incidence of stomach diseases has gradually increased, which has brought a lot of trouble to people's health. Common symptoms of stomach problems include bloating, stomach pain, acid reflux, etc. In addition to external factors such as poor eating habits and excessive life pressure, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, stomach diseases are often related to the weakness of the constitution, among which the constitution with a strong stomach and a weak spleen is more likely to suffer from stomach diseases.
When we pay attention to a person's stomach disease, we often need to rely on the observation of information such as tongue coating, tongue texture, tooth marks, etc. If the tooth marks are obvious, the tongue is cracked, and combined with other related symptoms, it is likely to be a sign of a strong stomach and a weak spleen. A strong stomach and a weak spleen are mainly manifested by excessive stomach qi and insufficient spleen, which leads to the dysfunction of the stomach and thus causes stomach problems.
There is a saying in the "Criteria for Treatment" recorded in ancient Chinese medical books: "The stomach breaks itself and gets sick." This sentence means that poor eating habits, improper diet, and improper health preservation will cause damage to the stomach and cause various stomach problems. This further validates the importance of a strong stomach and a weak spleen.
For the constitution of a strong stomach and a weak spleen, ancient Chinese medicine has accumulated rich experience, including some famous prescriptions. According to the actual situation, I will introduce you to the two flavors of medicine to help improve the constitution of a strong stomach and a weak spleen, and prevent the occurrence of stomach diseases.
The first medicine is Bupleurum chinensis. Bupleurum is a commonly used herb in traditional Chinese medicine, with a bitter and cold taste. It has the effect of soothing the liver and relieving depression, regulating qi and activating blood. Modern studies have found that Bupleurum has a variety of effects such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-liver fibrosis. In addition, Bupleurum can also enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis, promote the secretion of digestive juices, and improve gastrointestinal function. Therefore, Bupleurum can effectively improve the constitution of a strong stomach and a weak spleen, and prevent the occurrence of stomach diseases.
The second flavor of the drug is Coptis chinensis. Coptis chinensis has a bitter and cold taste, and has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, drying dampness and stopping diarrhea. It is mainly used for stomach diseases caused by symptoms such as excessive stomach fire, dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach, and loose stools. Coptis chinensis can clear the dampness and heat in the body and inhibit the production of stomach fire, thereby improving the symptoms of stomach problems. At the same time, Coptis chinensis can also stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis, improve digestive function, speed up waste discharge, and avoid diarrhea.
To sum up, tooth marks and tongue cracks are likely to be a sign of a strong stomach and a weak spleen, which needs to be paid attention to. In order to prevent the occurrence of stomach problems, we can take some TCM** methods, which include the use of herbs such as Bupleurum and Coptis chinensis. These drugs can improve the constitution of a strong stomach and a weak spleen, and promote the normal function of the gastrointestinal tract. Of course, we should also strengthen our own health awareness, maintain good eating habits, and avoid overwork. Only in this way can the occurrence of stomach problems be effectively prevented.
