Where can I get moxibustion to regulate my spleen and stomach

The spleen and stomach are very important organs for everyone, because the food people eat needs the spleen and stomach to digest. If the spleen and stomach are not in good condition, it will cause indigestion, which will cause various abnormal symptoms. In daily life, there are many people who suffer from damp and cold spleen and stomach. Spleen and stomach problems can be treated through moxibustion, but you must choose the right acupoints. So where should you use moxibustion to regulate the spleen and stomach?

1. What acupoints should be moxibustioned to regulate spleen and stomach absorption?

Mingmen, Shenshu, Zhongwan, and Shenque.

Traditional Chinese medicine advocates a people-oriented approach. The spleen and stomach are the source of Qi and blood. If a person's spleen and stomach function normally and the five internal organs function relatively normally, then his body will be strong and powerful. Conversely, if the spleen and stomach function poorly, then the body will be weak. Therefore, spleen and stomach conditioning focuses on tonifying the kidneys and spleen and stomach. In the selected conditioning prescription, Wei Shu is the back-Shu point of the stomach, which is the place where the stomach meridian qi is infused. It has the function of directly regulating the stomach and is often used in conjunction with Pi Shu. Zhongwan is the meeting point of the viscera and the place where stomach qi gathers in the abdomen. It has the functions of regulating the stomach and the middle, replenishing deficiency and invigorating qi, and strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness.

2. Symptoms of poor spleen and stomach absorption

Yellow face. If a person's complexion is dull and yellow, it may be due to spleen deficiency, the main symptoms of which are loss of appetite, abdominal bloating after meals, and diarrhea or loose stools. If not treated promptly, the complexion will gradually turn "sallow", that is, the cheeks will turn yellow, the body will become thin and withered. This is because the spleen's qi and body fluid are insufficient and cannot provide enough nutrition to the body. The opposite of chlorosis is sallowness, which means the face is yellow and swollen.

Dark nose. If you touch the tip of your nose, you will find a small pit. With the small pit as the center, the surrounding area is the area that most obviously reflects the physiological function and pathological changes of the spleen. If the tip of the nose is red, it means there is heat in the spleen and stomach, which manifests as being able to eat a lot but getting hungry easily after eating, poor digestion and absorption, and a bitter and sticky taste in the mouth.

The lips are pale and dry. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine points out that "the lips are the organ of the spleen" and "the spleen opens up in the mouth." Generally speaking, people with good spleen and stomach have lips that are rosy, moderately dry and wet, and smooth and shiny. On the other hand, if a person's lips are dry, peeling, and bloodless, it means that the spleen and stomach are not in good condition.

Drooling while sleeping. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine also points out that "the spleen governs saliva", and this "saliva" is the external manifestation of the spleen's water and qi. Once the spleen is weak, the "saliva" will become disobedient and you will drool while sleeping. If you often drool unconsciously, you can start with strengthening the spleen and regulate it.

constipate. Under normal circumstances, the water that people drink can only become body fluids of various organs after being transported and transformed by the spleen and stomach. If the spleen and stomach's transportation and transformation ability is weakened, it will lead to insufficient motility of the large intestine, and then cause functional constipation.

Poor sleep. There is an old saying that goes, "If your stomach is not in harmony, you will not be able to sleep well." People with poor spleen and stomach will also have poor sleep quality, and experience problems such as difficulty falling asleep, waking up suddenly, and having many dreams.

Poor mental state. Abnormal spleen and stomach function can easily lead to forgetfulness, palpitations, slow reaction, etc. On the contrary, a healthy spleen and stomach can nourish the brain, making people feel refreshed, energetic and quick-thinking.
