Symptoms of spleen deficiency and stomach heat in women

The mouth is the dialogue box of our stomach and intestines. When there is a small problem with our stomach and intestines, the mouth is the first to reflect the problem. Therefore, we can test whether the stomach and intestines are weak through the mouth. Women with spleen deficiency are prone to abdominal distension, poor appetite, lack of blood and other problems. Have you noticed the adverse manifestations of spleen and stomach deficiency? Let's discuss the manifestations of the stomach in our body.

Ancient Chinese medicine practitioners said that "if the stomach and intestines are in harmony, all diseases will not grow, but if the spleen and stomach are in disharmony, all kinds of diseases will arise". Invigorating qi and nourishing blood, the key is to nourish the spleen and stomach, because the stomach and intestines are the source of blood and the place for digestion and absorption. If the stomach and intestines are well maintained, the ability of the stomach and intestines to generate qi and blood will be very strong, which can provide sufficient qi to the human body. When the body has sufficient qi and blood, people will naturally be healthy and beautiful. This is exactly the same as what ancient Chinese medicine said: "If the stomach and intestines are in harmony, all diseases will not grow; if the spleen and stomach are not in harmony, all kinds of diseases will arise." Our mouth is the most effective way to help us understand our body condition. Let's use our mouth to judge whether our stomach is healthy.

Judging whether the stomach and intestines are weak by looking at the mouth can be divided into two parts: one is the tongue color, and the other is the white tongue coating.

1. Under healthy conditions, a person's tongue is dark red. If the tongue color is lighter, it means that your qi and blood are deficient; if the tongue color is reddish, it means that your body has heat; if the tongue color turns purple, it means that there is blood accumulation in your body. So, what are the characteristics of the tongue color of people with weak spleen and stomach? The biggest characteristic of the tongue color of people with weak spleen and stomach is that the tongue is fat and there are front tooth marks on the edge of the mouth. Because after the spleen and stomach are weak, they cannot absorb water, and the water retained inside will immediately swell the mouth, and the fat mouth is squeezed with the front teeth, so there are tooth marks.

2. A normal person's tongue has a thin layer of light white coating, which is moist, not noisy or slippery. If the tongue coating is yellow, it means that your body has heat; if the tongue coating is white and yellow, it means that the body's cold is too severe; if the tongue coating is thick and greasy, and the white coating is covered, it means that your spleen and stomach are weak and cold, because after the spleen and stomach are weak and cold, they cannot absorb water, and the water qi will immediately gather on the tongue, so the mouth will immediately be covered with white coating, which is thick and smooth.

Spleen deficiency means that food and water cannot be properly transported, so the internal organs and limbs of the body cannot get good nourishment. Therefore, there are symptoms such as sallow complexion, listlessness, fatigue, loss of appetite, drowsiness after meals, or bloating after meals, and loose stools. People with spleen deficiency are prone to indigestion, cold limbs, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and fear of cold. Women with spleen deficiency may also have diarrhea symptoms.

Diarrhea and constipation

The deep-seated cause of stomach heat is spleen deficiency. A large part of constipation is also related to stomach heat. Food residues sink slowly, and water flows out. When they reach the intestines, they have become very dry, thus causing constipation. Some friends found that their bowel movements were much smoother after doing the abdominal pushing method. This is because the abdominal pushing method promotes gastrointestinal motility and accelerates the excretion of food residues. If combined with daily tapping of Zusanli, massage of the calf spleen meridian, and cupping at the Zhongwan acupoint, the effect should be better.

Frequent unformed, watery, and loose stools are a sign of spleen and stomach weakness, and are likely to be a sign of both spleen and kidney deficiency (insufficient kidney essence will immediately lead to various deficiency-cold syndromes). The treatment methods include warm moxibustion on Zhongwan, Zusanli, Guanyuan and other acupoints, drinking a cup of ginger, jujube and brown sugar water every day to warm the stomach and unblock the meridians, dispel cold, replenish blood and qi, use abdominal pushing method to eliminate the three turbidities, and move the intestines and stomach, etc.
