The four major foods that replenish the spleen are inaccurate. Generally speaking, foods that replenish the spleen include yam, hawthorn and jujube, which have the medicinal effect of replenishing the spleen. Yam can tonify the spleen and nourish the stomach, generate fluid and benefit the lungs, and tonify the kidney and astringent essence, which can be taken by people with weak spleen and stomach. Jujubes can tonify the middle Jiao (treating qi deficiency by tonifying the spleen), nourish the blood and tranquilize the mind (stabilizing the mind and soothing the emotions by nourishing the blood), and have a better therapeutic effect on the evidence of spleen qi deficiency. Hawthorn can eliminate food and strengthen the stomach (promoting food digestion and strengthening the function of the stomach and internal organs), move qi and dissipate blood stasis, dissolve turbidity and reduce fat (clearing the body of impurities and reducing excess fat in the body), and is effective in treating dietary stagnation caused by a deficiency of the spleen. The medicinal value of any food can not replace the role of drugs, patients with weak spleen and stomach should go to the hospital in a timely manner, under the guidance of the physician for treatment.
