Let's talk about the health things of Lichun
In traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen is regarded as an important immune organ of the human body, which is closely related to the functions of the human body, such as transportation, absorption, and distribution. Spleen deficiency is one of the common diagnoses in traditional Chinese medicine, which refers to the weakness of the spleen qi and the inability to properly transport the subtleties of the water valley, resulting in insufficient production of qi and blood, resulting in a series of symptoms. Spleen deficiency can manifest as lack of appetite, fatigue, bloating, loose stools, etc. On the **, Chinese medicine has the distinction of "tonifying the spleen" and "strengthening the spleen", although there is only a difference of one word, but the focus is different.
The difference between spleen tonic and spleen strengthening.
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, "tonifying the spleen" emphasizes the direct replenishment of the spleen through drugs or other ** to improve the function of the spleen. Commonly used spleen-tonifying drugs include Sijunzi Soup, Buzhong Yiqi Soup, etc., and the ginseng, atractylodes, Poria cocos and other medicinal materials in these prescriptions have obvious spleen-tonifying effects. "Strengthening the spleen", on the other hand, focuses on promoting the spleen's self-recovery by adjusting the overall function of the body. Ways to strengthen the spleen include exercise, diet, etc., such as eating more foods that are good for the spleen, such as pumpkin, sweet potato, millet, etc.
Symptoms of spleen deficiency are associated with**.
The symptoms of spleen deficiency are varied, and the common ones are loss of appetite, abdominal distention, loose stools, fatigue, pale tongue, etc. **For spleen deficiency, TCM will formulate a personalized **plan according to the specific symptoms and constitution.
For mild spleen deficiency, TCM may recommend adjusting the diet to improve it, such as increasing foods rich in vitamin B complexes and avoiding overeating raw, cold, greasy foods. In traditional Chinese medicine, Sijunzi Tang is the basic formula for spleen deficiency, and the main ingredients include ginseng, atractylodes, poria cocos, and licorice, which can nourish the spleen and temper the spleen and stomach.
A modern interpretation of ancient Chinese medicine prescriptions.
Taking Sijunzi Tang as an example, this ancient recipe is still widely used in modern Chinese medicine, and its constituent medicines have their own characteristics:
Ginseng: It greatly tonifies the spleen, enhances physical strength, and has a significant effect on fatigue and fatigue.
Atractylodes macrocephalus: dampness and water, enhance the transport function of the spleen and stomach, and improve abdominal distension and loose stools.
Poria cocos: dilutes water and dampness, strengthens the spleen and calms the nerves, and also has an auxiliary effect on insomnia and dreaminess caused by spleen deficiency.
Licorice: Reconciles various medicines, alleviates the adverse reactions of drugs, and has the effect of tonifying the spleen and invigorating qi.
Combined with Western medicine perspectives.
From the perspective of Western medicine, spleen deficiency may be related to certain digestive diseases, such as chronic gastritis, gastric prolapse, etc. Western medicine** may include medications**, dietary management, and surgery if necessary**. For symptoms such as fatigue and loss of appetite caused by spleen deficiency, Western medicine may use some digestive enzymes to help digestion and absorption, or improve the patient's physical fitness through nutritional support.
Integrated** program.
In practical clinical work, Chinese medicine and Western medicine can learn from and complement each other. For example, for patients with spleen deficiency, they can first be treated through syndrome differentiation in traditional Chinese medicine, using prescriptions such as Sijunzi decoction to replenish the spleen and invigorating qi, and at the same time, combined with the results of Western medicine, some digestive system drugs can be used in a targeted manner. In terms of dietary management, TCM emphasizes "dietary therapy", and patients can be advised to eat more foods that are beneficial to the spleen, such as millet porridge, pumpkin, etc., which can not only provide necessary nutrients, but also play a role in strengthening the spleen.
Conclusion. In short, whether it is to tonify the spleen or strengthen the spleen, its purpose is to improve the function of the spleen and improve the overall state of the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine have their own advantages and methods in spleen deficiency, and the comprehensive use of these methods can provide a more comprehensive program for patients with spleen deficiency. In today's fast-paced life, we should pay more attention to eating a healthy diet, exercising properly, and maintaining good living habits to maintain our spleen and stomach health.
