Don’t worry about Spleen and Stomach Yang deficiency, keep these nourishing secrets!
The Spleen and Stomach in our body are the foundation of postnatal health, acting like the “chief steward” of the body, managing the transformation and absorption of nutrients.
Nowadays, many people suffer from Spleen and Stomach Yang deficiency due to various unhealthy lifestyle habits.
Today, let’s discuss how to identify if you have Spleen and Stomach Yang deficiency and how to take good care of this “chief steward”.
First, check if you have any of these symptoms: if you often have no appetite, feel bloated, and frequently run to the bathroom with loose stools, this indicates that your Spleen and Stomach’s digestive function is upset.
Also, take a look at your complexion; if it is waxy yellow, your nose lacks luster, and your lips are dry and colorless, or if you drool while sleeping, these are signals from your Spleen and Stomach indicating discomfort.
Furthermore, if you experience constipation, have trouble sleeping at night, dream excessively, and feel forgetful or anxious during the day, these issues are also related to Spleen and Stomach Yang deficiency.
Now that we know about Spleen and Stomach Yang deficiency, we need to nourish it properly.
Start with your daily routine: eat at regular times, avoid rushing through meals, and chew your food thoroughly to respect your Spleen and Stomach.
Avoid spicy and extremely cold foods as much as possible. After eating, don’t rush to exercise; take a moment to rest, then take a leisurely walk to allow your Spleen and Stomach to function well.
Next, let’s talk about the magic of massage.
Occasionally, gently massage your nose for about 20 minutes to relieve bloating in the stomach.
Also, the Zu San Li (St36) acupuncture point, located three inches below the knee, can be pressed and rubbed 50-100 times daily to help strengthen your Spleen and Stomach.
Don’t forget to pay attention to your navel; place your palm or the base of your hand on your navel and rub it clockwise for 5 minutes, once or twice a day; or rub your hands together to warm them and then rub around your navel 2-5 times a day to warm your Spleen and Stomach, improving digestion.
Additionally, there are some fun little tips.
When you have free time, recite the sound “Hu”; this is a secret mantra for nourishing the Spleen.
In terms of diet, include more treasures like mung beans and Job’s tears (Yi Yi Ren). Drinking Job’s tears and Poria (Fu Ling) congee can nourish your Spleen and Stomach effectively. If you have constipation, eat more leafy greens to provide some “lubrication” for your intestines.
Your mood is also very important; avoid frowning and being angry, and try to smile more to keep your Spleen and Stomach happy.
Different seasons also require special care for the Spleen and Stomach.
In spring, eat sweet foods like Chinese yam (Shan Yao) and bananas to make your Spleen happy.
In summer, consume beans to strengthen the Spleen and eliminate dampness, but avoid excessive cold foods.
In autumn, drink more congee to keep warm.
In winter, go to bed early and rise late, and get plenty of sunlight to wrap your Spleen and Stomach in a layer of “sunshine blanket” to prevent gastric acid from causing trouble.
Spleen and Stomach Yang deficiency is not a major problem; as long as we pay attention in our daily lives, from diet to massage, from mood to seasonal health care, and take good care of our Spleen and Stomach, this “chief steward” can function well, and our bodies will be in great shape. Let’s take action and let Spleen and Stomach Yang deficiency roll away!
