Knowing stomach problems by looking at the five sense organs

Lips

Generally speaking, people with good spleen and stomach have rosy lips, moderately dry and wet, smooth and shiny; while people with poor spleen and stomach have pale, bloodless lips, appear very dry, and are prone to cracking and flaking. Symptoms such as bad breath and swollen and painful gums are mostly related to insufficient digestive ability of the spleen and stomach. In addition, drooling while sleeping is also a sign of poor spleen.

nose

The spleen and stomach meridians are connected to the human nose. Dry nasal cavity, loss of smell, clear nasal discharge, and nose bleeding are mostly caused by weak spleen and stomach. People with red nose wings often have stomach heat; a blue nose tip accompanied by abdominal pain also indicates poor spleen and stomach function.

Eye

A bad spleen and stomach can easily lead to insufficient qi and blood, which in turn affects the liver. The liver opens up to the eyes, so the eyes are easily fatigued and cannot see clearly. In addition, the spleen has a close relationship with the absorption of human body fluids. If you often have red and swollen eyes, swollen face, etc., it may be a spleen problem.

ear

A weak spleen and stomach can lead to insufficient kidney qi, which often manifests as tinnitus or even deafness.

In addition, many people's poor spleen and stomach are caused by excessive fatigue or emotions. Especially in spring, the liver fire is strong and people tend to be irritable. People with spleen and stomach disorders often feel weak, have cold hands and feet, and sometimes have diarrhea in the spring.

If the spleen and stomach are damaged, all the five internal organs will suffer

If there is a problem with the spleen and stomach, it is likely to affect the five internal organs.

There is a saying in Traditional Chinese Medicine, "To nourish the spleen and stomach is to nourish the vital energy, and to nourish the vital energy is to nourish life." The health of the spleen and stomach is an important factor in determining the length of a person's life.

The spleen and stomach affect the heart

The heart and spleen are like a mother and son. Heart disease should be treated from the spleen and stomach. The spleen is responsible for coordinating a person's qi and blood and supplying nourishment to the heart. Once there is a problem with the spleen and it cannot replenish Qi and produce blood, it will cause blood imbalance in the heart and trigger heart disease.

The spleen, stomach and liver affect each other

Patients often tell me that they still feel hungry after eating, but their stomachs are bloated, and gastrointestinal medicine is of no use.

In fact, this is often related to liver depression and qi stagnation caused by too much work pressure or bad mood. You must first nourish the liver before you can solve the spleen and stomach problems.

Conversely, the spleen and stomach will also affect the liver. For example, the root cause of fatty liver is that the spleen and stomach cannot digest food well, making it difficult to dispose of waste and accumulate in the liver, thus affecting the liver's blood supply and other functions.

Spleen and stomach deficiency affects the lungs first

The lungs are like a "prime minister" who specifically assists the heart, the "monarch". The lungs help the heart govern the entire body by managing the qi in the body. However, the strength of lung qi depends on the strength of the spleen and stomach.

People with weak spleen and stomach often suffer from weak lung qi and are prone to colds and other respiratory diseases.

Spleen deficiency often leads to kidney deficiency

When a person is energetic, his kidney qi is sufficient. The strength of the kidney's essence is also related to whether the person's spleen and stomach are healthy and whether they can provide sufficient nutrition to nourish the kidneys. Long-term spleen deficiency can lead to kidney deficiency, which manifests as restlessness, night sweats, or chills and cold hands and feet.

Stomach diseases are mostly related to excessive eating, while spleen diseases are related to overwork. Although the causes of spleen and stomach diseases are different, they must be maintained together.
