Today, I will tell you about the common name formula for strengthening the spleen and nourishing blood in "Orthodox Class", --- Gui Spleen Soup. When it comes to Gui Spleen Soup, I believe many friends have heard of this recipe to replenish qi and blood. It was first published in the Song Dynasty medical book "Jisheng Fang". Now it has also been made into a Chinese patent medicine "Gui Spleen Pill", which is also widely used in clinical practice.
So how does Gui Spleen Soup replenish qi and blood?To figure out this problem, we have to start with the relationship between qi and blood and complexion. Traditional Chinese medicine says that "the spleen is the main qi and blood, and the main muscle", so the rise and fall of qi and blood can be understood as the complexion when reflected on the face. Those who are full of qi and blood have a ruddy and shiny complexion, and those who are deficient in qi and blood have a withered complexion, like flowers that have lost their nutrients. Why?Because of the deficiency of the spleen and the poor biochemistry of qi and blood, the skin can no longer be nourished. At this time, it is particularly important to nourish the blood and spleen.
Speaking of this, it reminds me of Xiao Li, a fan who received a doctor during the summer vacation this summer. Xiao Li is 25 years old this year, who has just graduated from graduate school and is facing employment or doctoral studies, and often feels that the future is under great pressure, and he is afraid that he will fall behind others after failing to study for a doctorate. During that time, his mood was very depressed, and he couldn't sleep well at night, sometimes he woke up after falling asleep, and then his heart beat suddenly, and sometimes he would be upset. Later, he received a notice that he could continue to study for a doctorate, and his palpitations and sleep had improved, but his complexion had not been good. This is a typical sadness. At the time of the consultation, the complexion is yellowish, pale, and there is no luster, and some people will even have dark spots, acne, dark circles, and insomnia, forgetfulness, dizziness, chest tightness, palpitations and other symptoms.
Speaking of which, let's go back to Gui Spleen Soup, in which ginseng, atractylodes, astragalus, and licorice are all tonifying the spleen and restoring the function of the spleen. Angelica invigorates and invigorates blood. Longan meat nourishes the heart and blood, and Poria cocos, Yuanzhi, and sour jujube kernels nourish the heart and calm the nerves. The wood incense is qi, and the qi is bloody, ensuring that the qi and blood can run up and down.
So why do you add Chinese medicine to soothe the nerves and help you sleep in the recipe for tonifying the spleen and nourishing the blood?Presumably everyone will have such a feeling, if you don't sleep well at night, you will be tired and haggard the next day, because staying up late, insomnia is very hurtful to the qi and blood, so Chinese medicine often says that a good sleep is better than taking tonics. Do you understand?You can look in the mirror to see your complexion and make a reference based on your own situation.
