How to nourish the spleen and stomach in the cold winter?

2025-01-03   

In traditional Chinese medicine theory, the spleen belongs to the earth and has the characteristics of "liking warmth and hating cold" and "liking dryness and hating dampness". In the cold winter with low temperatures, the body's yang qi converges, and the spleen and stomach function weakens. Especially for people who originally had poor spleen and stomach function, they are prone to digestive symptoms such as loss of appetite, bloating, and diarrhea. Dietary regulation: In winter, there are significant differences in temperature and humidity in different regions of China, so attention should be paid to regional differences when regulating the spleen and stomach. In northern regions, people can take herbs that can warm the spleen and stomach, strengthen the surface, and dispel wind. Huangqi, Codonopsis pilosula, Su Ye, Bai Zhi, and other herbs can be added to their diet; In the southern region, in addition to warming the spleen and stomach, products that can dispel dampness can also be added, such as sand seeds, Job's tears, lotus seeds, cardamom, etc., to the diet. Emotional regulation: There is a close relationship between emotions and health. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that worry and anxiety can harm the spleen, and excessive negative emotions such as sadness and anxiety can damage the health of the spleen and stomach. Maintaining an optimistic attitude, avoiding excessive thinking and emotional fluctuations, can help maintain the health of the spleen and stomach. Daily health care should pay attention to keeping warm, especially keeping the chest, abdomen, back, and feet warm. Some people always feel a cold sensation in their abdomen, so they can apply moxibustion to abdominal acupoints such as Zhongwan, Shenque, and Tianshu. You can also massage your abdomen, rub your hands hot, and gently and moderately massage clockwise with your navel as the center. (New Society)
