Symptoms of cold stomach and spleen deficiency in women

It is very common for women to have cold stomach and weak spleen. This symptom is mainly caused by malnutrition, so everyone needs to pay attention to the supplementation of nutrients. Generally, women with cold stomach and weak spleen will show symptoms of weight loss or puffiness, and may also suffer from heavy limbs and pale complexion. When women have these symptoms, they should promptly use dietary therapy to regulate the spleen and stomach. Foods they can choose include yam and coix seed porridge.

1. Malnutrition, weight loss or puffiness

The spleen has a direct relationship with the functioning of the body. Some people eat well and have a reasonable diet structure, but are still malnourished. This is mostly due to weak spleen and stomach. Some people have a good appetite and can eat a lot, but are thin and look old. This is due to a strong stomach and weak spleen. Western medicine gives people calcium tablets and protein powder when they see they are malnourished, while traditional Chinese medicine strengthens the spleen and stomach functions of the human body. In fact, long-term use of various nutritional tablets and nutritional powders will further weaken the spleen's transportation and transformation functions.

2. Heaviness in limbs and depression

The spleen controls the muscles. The temper is full, the muscles are plump and lively, and the face is lively and energetic. On the contrary, children with spleen deficiency will have symptoms of weak spleen and stomach, stiff facial muscles, soreness, fatigue and even atrophy of muscles all over the body, heavy limbs and easy fatigue, and mental depression. Many psychological illnesses are related to spleen deficiency.

Three bad breaths, rough at first

Some symptoms of the spleen can also be manifested in the mouth. The spleen is connected to the mouth, and if the spleen is sufficient, one can taste the five grains. People with strong spleen qi have no odor when they exhale, and can taste the fragrance in the food they eat. People with weak spleen have white and rough lips, which are symptoms of weak spleen and stomach. Their breath has a strong odor and their food has no taste. If cold stagnates in the spleen, the lips will be purple or black.

4. Anemia, gum atrophy

Spleen deficiency can cause blood to not circulate through the meridians, which can cause bleeding with various symptoms. The spleen has the function of producing blood, and spleen deficiency can easily lead to anemia. When the spleen is strong, the blood will be abundant. There are two most common causes of spleen deficiency: one is eating, and the other is thinking. Eating too much cold food, cold fruits, and overeating can damage the spleen. "Thinking hurts the spleen." Thinking too much can also hurt the spleen. The reason why many people suffer from diarrhea is that they do not know how to balance work and rest, and overuse of the brain leads to spleen deficiency. The spleen and stomach are exterior and interior to each other. The spleen is responsible for ascending, and the stomach is responsible for descending. The stomach is responsible for descending water and food to facilitate digestion; the spleen qi rises, so that nutrients can be delivered to the lungs, and the lungs then deliver nutrients to other organs. The spleen likes dryness and hates dampness, while the stomach likes moisture and hates dryness. If the spleen is weak for too long, the upper gums will shrink; if the stomach is weak for too long, the lower gums will shrink. The rising and falling Qi of the spleen and stomach is called Zhong Qi, which is the hub of Qi in the whole body.

Spleen deficiency caused by spleen deficiency can be improved by dietary adjustment and taking some iron and blood supplements. It is recommended that you eat yam and coix seed porridge for conditioning. Grind yam and coix seed in equal amounts and cook them into porridge. Eat a small bowl a day. For blood and iron supplements, you can take Tiezhiyuan tablets, which are better absorbed and can quickly help improve anemia caused by spleen deficiency and enhance your own immunity.

5. Various stomach diseases

If you want to treat stomach problems, you must strengthen the spleen, remove blood stasis and promote tissue regeneration. This alone will not be ideal for treating some chronic stomach problems. From the theory of the Five Elements, we know that in addition to regulating the spleen and stomach, we must also strengthen the regulation of the liver and kidneys. We must soothe and nourish the liver, and warm and nourish the kidney Qi, that is, we must regulate the whole body. In the relationship between the five elements, the liver belongs to wood, and the spleen and stomach belong to earth. If the liver wood is too strong, it will suppress the spleen earth. If the Liver Wood is excessively released, the spleen and stomach will suffer from Qi deficiency; if the Liver Qi is too stagnant, the spleen and stomach will suffer from Qi stagnation. How to treat weak spleen and stomach with dietotherapy? Both are the Liver Wood overcoming the Spleen Earth.

Regarding the symptoms of cold stomach and weak spleen in women, five aspects are introduced above, including stomach problems, heavy limbs, etc., which are all manifestations. When these symptoms appear, they must be solved fundamentally, and attention should be paid to daily health care in life.
