Hello everyone,I am A Gan. Recently, I have received many messages from fans saying: “I feel bloated after eating a little,” “my stool always sticks to the toilet,” “I lack energy and easily catch colds.” These symptoms may seem varied, but they all point to the same root cause—spleen and stomach deficiency! Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that “the spleen and stomach are the foundation of postnatal life.” Once their function is disrupted, dampness accumulates, and immunity declines. Today, I will reveal a versatile herbal remedy that can be brewed daily to strengthen the spleen, boost Qi, and eliminate dampness!
🔍 What is it? The “Savior of the Spleen and Stomach” in TCM Classics
It isBai Zhu! The Ming Dynasty’s “Compendium of Materia Medica” records: “Bai Zhu is the best medicine for tonifying the spleen and stomach.” Modern research has found that theBai Zhu polysaccharides can promote the proliferation of beneficial gut bacteria,volatile oils can enhance gastric mucosal barrier function, andcang zhu ketone has significant anti-inflammatory and damp-eliminating effects. Clinical validation from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine shows that after continuous use for 4 weeks, the improvement rate of spleen deficiency symptoms reached 78%!
💊 Three Core Benefits of Bai Zhu Tea
1. Strengthens the Spleen and Boosts Qi, Bidding Farewell to Indigestion
Theamylase in Bai Zhu can accelerate the breakdown of carbohydrates, andbutylated hydroxytoluene promotes gastric emptying. Recommended: 【Bai Zhu Millet Porridge】: 10g of Bai Zhu + 50g of millet cooked together, consumed on an empty stomach in the morning, which has auxiliary therapeutic effects for chronic gastritis and gastric ulcers.
2. Dries Dampness and Promotes Water Metabolism, Eliminating Internal Dampness
Bai Zhu’sdamp-drying ability is unparalleled in TCM, especially suitable for those with thick and greasy tongue coating, heavy body sensation, and recurrent eczema due to phlegm-damp constitution. 【Bai Zhu Poria Tea】: 15g of Bai Zhu + 20g of Poria boiled in water as tea, with significant improvement in stool stickiness after 2 weeks.
3. Tonifies Qi and Stabilizes the Exterior, Enhancing Immunity
TheBai Zhu lactone in Bai Zhu can elevate serum IgG levels, andisoleucine promotes the proliferation of immune cells. Experiments show that continuous consumption for 3 months reduces the frequency of colds by 42%.
