Ginger does not treat weakness of the spleen and stomach. Ginger is effective in relieving cold (removing cold from the muscle surface), warming the stomach and stopping vomiting (treating vomiting caused by stomach cold by warming the spleen and stomach), resolving phlegm and relieving cough, and detoxifying fish and crab. Ginger is a traditional Chinese medicine with pungent flavor, slightly warm nature, and belongs to the lung, spleen and stomach meridians. It is mainly used in the treatment of wind-cold cold, stomach-cold vomiting, cold phlegm cough, fish and crab poisoning. Ginger can be used to treat stomach heat and vomiting, and can be paired with Huang Lian and Zhu Ru to clear the stomach and stop vomiting; as an adjuvant for wind-cold colds, it is often used with Gui Zhi and Qiang Huo, which are pungent, warm and antiexpressive medicines that work together to sweat away the evils on the surface of the body. It should be noted that it is contraindicated in cases of Yin deficiency and internal heat, as well as in cases of actual heat. There are many causes or subtypes of spleen and stomach weakness, which need to be identified by a doctor and then standardized treatment, rather than blindly using medication on one’s own. If you need to take ginger, it is recommended to do so under the guidance of a doctor.
