We often see that some people, after taking supplements, not only do not play a role in their health, but also suffer from different degrees of discomfort, and some even aggravate their conditions. The principle of “tonic for deficiency” is one of the principles of TCM treatment. Tonic products are used to improve the deficiency of qi, blood, yin and yang of human body, but they cannot be used to treat all kinds of diseases. However, they cannot be used to treat all diseases. If they are not properly applied, misused or abused, they will not only be beneficial but also harmful, and the phenomenon of “deficiency without tonic” will occur. “If deficiency is not remedied, how can we recover?” The trend has become a major trend in health care. However, we often hear people around us complain: “a tonic will be on fire!” Today we will look at what is the so-called “deficiency without tonic” is all about? How should we deal with it? Most people like dietary supplements, but no matter how much or how good you eat, without a healthy spleen and stomach, it is difficult to absorb. Therefore, it is recommended to strengthen the spleen and stomach before taking supplements. In Chinese medicine, it is said that the spleen and the stomach are the origin of the postnatal period and the source of Qi and blood biochemistry. In order to transform the tonic we eat into the Qi and blood we need, we must have a strong spleen and stomach. Why is there a deficiency of tonic? 1, the spleen and stomach cold often after meals bloating; indigestion; appetite is not good, eat not much; easy stool is not formed; eat cold food or cold will stomach pain, diarrhea. People with a cold spleen and stomach often eat ginger and jujube porridge to warm the stomach and replenish blood; 2, spleen and stomach accumulation of food sour taste in the mouth; sometimes constipation, sometimes unformed stool; very smelly stool; do not want to eat, bloating after eating; thick tongue coating spleen and stomach accumulation of food, often eat hawthorn porridge, eliminate food and phlegm; 3, spleen and stomach damp heat stomach easily burning pain; often acid reflux, vomiting acid, nausea; dry mouth and bitter mouth; yellow urine, stool sticky toilet; yellow tongue coating greasy The spleen and stomach have damp heat, often eat barley and red bean porridge, bok choy porridge, spleen, clear heat and damp; 4, liver depression spleen dampness emotional discomfort easily abdominal distension, two dampness pain, breast distension, chest tightness, love to sigh; stool is not formed; appetite is not good liver depression spleen dampness, often eat yellow flowers and vegetables porridge, clear heat and dampness, dredge the liver to relieve depression. The deficiency is not tonic to regulate the spleen and stomach As the saying goes: freezing three feet is not a day’s cold, dripping water through the stone is not a day’s force, to make good, have to first regulate the spleen and stomach. 1, drink porridge in the morning The best way to nourish the spleen and stomach is to drink porridge in the morning, “porridge” said: “every day, eat a large bowl of porridge, empty stomach deficiency, grain gas will be made, the supplement is not fine, but also very soft and greasy, and the intestines and stomach, the most wonderful trick of diet. 2, eat more yam fresh yam flat tonic stomach, help adjust the digestive and endocrine system.

Poria can be boiled soup or added to the porridge to eat, eat poria products also have the same effect. Finally, it should be reminded that people with a bad stomach, eat less sweets, can avoid indigestion. The spleen and stomach health points 1, the foot three miles to strengthen the spleen and stomach foot three miles: the outer calf, calf nose under 3 inches folklore: “often moxibustion foot three miles, better than eating old hen”, because it has a spleen and stomach, tonic benefit qi, through the intestines to guide the stagnation of the function.
