Self-test 1 Yellow skin is also a disease. Focus on monitoring the spleen and liver

We all have yellow skin, but some people's skin is particularly darker and yellower. What is the reason for this? Doctors believe that for us people in Guangdong and Guangxi, our skin is darker and grayer than others, and the problems we should pay most attention to are the spleen and liver.

If your skin is yellow, the first thing you should consider is a bad spleen. According to experts, the normal skin color of the yellow race should be "faintly reddish and yellow, bright and subtle." The complexion is faintly reddish and yellow, contained within the skin and not particularly obvious. It is a sign of sufficient stomach qi and internal essence that does not leak out. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen belongs to the earth element, and the corresponding color of earth in the five elements is yellow. Therefore, people with particularly yellow skin should most consider that they have a poor spleen.

There are many medicines for regulating the spleen and stomach, but the key is to differentiate and treat the disease based on the syndrome. People with poor spleen and stomach can regulate it in the following ways. The deficiency-cold syndrome caused by insufficient Yang Qi is manifested by fear of cold, cold limbs, pale complexion, soreness and coldness in waist and knees, loose stools, etc. It can be treated with Chinese patent medicines that warm the middle and strengthen the spleen, such as Fuzi Lizhong Pills, Xiangsha Yangwei Pills, Xiaojianzhong Granules, etc. Weak spleen and stomach are manifested by symptoms such as shortness of breath, laziness, fatigue, loose stools, etc. Chinese patent medicines such as Buzhong Yiqi Pills and Shenling Baizhu Powder can be used to treat it.

In addition, Chinese medicine believes that wood overcomes earth, and people with liver qi discomfort often have poor spleen and stomach, and can be seen with symptoms such as belching, acid reflux, bloating and discomfort. Chaihu Shugan San, Chenxianglu Bailu and Yueju Wan can be used for conditioning.

Yellow skin or heavy dampness. Zhang Tao, a doctor from the Department of Gastroenterology at Ruikang Hospital Affiliated to Guangxi University of Chinese Medicine, introduced that in addition to normal people, dark yellow skin can also occur. In terms of traditional Chinese medicine, dark yellow skin is a sign that dampness is blocking the spleen, and the clear air cannot reach the head, face and clear orifices. Therefore, symptoms such as dark yellow complexion, dizziness, abdominal distension, poor appetite and poor sleep may appear. It is recommended to take some dehumidifying medicines on a regular basis, and you can make soup with kapok flowers, queen flowers, and wild yam.

Yellow skin should alert you to liver disease. Modern people drink more and more without restraint. Lei Shijun reminds us that the most common symptom of liver disease is jaundice. People with underlying diseases such as hepatitis B, whose skin is too dark and yellow, should consider that their liver disease may be serious and it is best to see a doctor.

In addition, it is recorded in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" that when seeing a liver disease, one should know that it will spread to the spleen and must first strengthen the spleen. This means that when the liver is sick, the disease can easily be transmitted to the spleen and stomach. Clinically, when hepatitis attacks acutely, it is usually accompanied by digestive system symptoms such as nausea, bloating, and loss of appetite. This is "liver transmission to the spleen."

Self-diagnosis: Calluses on hands or "soft hands" indicate poor spleen and stomach

Professor Chu Qingchun, the last disciple of meridian health expert Cai Hongguang, one of the top ten outstanding sub-health speakers in China, and lecturer on Chinese medicine meridians, said that if a person does not work regularly but has calluses on his hands very easily, it means that the person has poor metabolic function and poor spleen and stomach function.

Most people's hands are of moderate hardness and softness, while some people's hands are extremely soft, as if they have no bones. Most of these people think too much, and too much thinking will damage the spleen and stomach. Therefore, people with soft hands usually have poor spleen and stomach.

Self-test 3: No half-moon marks are likely to cause serious illness

Many people know that the more half-moon marks there are on the nails, the better the blood and qi, and the healthier the person. People who do not have the half-moon marks have poor qi and blood, which means low immunity in Western medicine. They are generally not prone to illness, but once they get sick, the immune system has difficulty supporting the body's recovery. Minor illnesses are often difficult to cure and eventually lead to major illnesses.
