When it comes to people's health in China, the biggest problem is "spleen deficiency". Not only the elderly, adults, but also dolls of several years old are particularly spleen deficient. It is no exaggeration to say that nine out of ten people who go to see Chinese medicine will be diagnosed with "spleen deficiency".
Chinese medicine believes that "the heart governs the gods", and all thinking activities of the human body need to be dominated by the heart.
In the five elements, fire produces soil, fire corresponds to the heart, and soil corresponds to the spleen.
With the acceleration of the pace of life in modern society, the pressure of life and work of many people is increasing. They are often so busy that they don't even have time to eat, their diet is extremely irregular and they seldom rest, so the phenomenon of spleen deficiency in modern people is becoming more and more serious.
Many people are used to judging whether they have spleen deficiency by their own symptoms and tongue pulse manifestations.
For people who have not received medical professional training, it is often difficult to get accurate answers through the above methods.
So, today I will teach you an easier way-see Zusanli!
Zusanli is a commonly used acupuncture point for strengthening the spleen, which is located three inches below the knee on the lateral side of our leg, that is, the four fingers wide and the lateral fingers on the lateral side of our tibia.
Touching the depression here may indicate spleen deficiency.
If accompanied by abdominal distension and abdominal pain, irregular stool, indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite and other symptoms, then your spleen deficiency is "inseparable."
There are four gentlemen in Chinese medicine. They are unknown and cooperate with each other. They fully practiced the Xiu De in Middle China and everything prospered virtue, silently guarding the spleen and stomach of people for thousands of years.
These four gentlemen are: Codonopsis pilosula, Poria cocos, Atractylodes macrocephala and Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch.
Yes, it is the four gentlemen in this Chinese herbal medicine, the treasure of heaven and earth, which are compatible with each other to form the famous four gentlemen soup.
Anyone who knows a little about traditional Chinese medicine knows that Sijunzi decoction, an elegant prescription, can be called the first party to replenish qi through the ages.
Sijunzi decoction is the originator of Yiqi Jianpi prescription, and thousands of Yiqi Jianpi prescriptions were established on its basis in later generations.
Sijunzi Decoction, like a virtuous gentleman, has been enduring for thousands of years, silently guarding the spleen and stomach of China people for thousands of years.
The compatibility of Sijunzi decoction is very particular, comparable to the arrangement of soldiers, and the combination of main and auxiliary is very particular.
Among them, Dangshen is like the commander-in-chief in the camp. The commander-in-chief comes out and scares the enemy. Therefore, Codonopsis pilosula has the strongest medicinal properties and the strongest effect of invigorating qi, which can enhance the yang of the spleen and stomach and enhance the transport and transformation function of the spleen and stomach.
Atractylodes macrocephala is also a master of strengthening the spleen, and it is just right to be a second lieutenant. Atractylodes macrocephala not only can strengthen the spleen, but also has the function of eliminating dampness, which can moisten the available water in the body and transform it into body fluid needed by the body. This process is also called gasification.
An army needs assistant soldiers besides commanders and lieutenants. Poria cocos has a strong effect of eliminating dampness, so it is perfect as an auxiliary medicine. Poria cocos, as one of the Nine Immortals, has mild efficacy and can dispel dampness without hurting the spleen and stomach. It also plays an important role in Sijunzi Decoction.
The last herb is licorice. Although the official position is not high, the advantage lies in comprehensive skills. Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch can not only assist Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala and Poria to play the role of strengthening the spleen and benefiting qi, but also act as a peacemaker, harmonizing various medicines and making efforts in one place. In addition, Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch also has the functions of relieving various toxins and buffering the side effects of drugs.
The above four herbs are perfectly matched, and the whole prescription rises and falls in an orderly way, which is warm and nourishing but not greasy, so that the efficacy of Sijunzi Decoction in invigorating qi and strengthening spleen is perfectly exerted.
