People's five internal organs correspond to the four seasons. Why does the spleen have no corresponding season?

Spleen is flourishing all year round. More importantly, this year's "beginning of spring" began to strengthen the spleen in "beginning of spring" before the Spring Festival, which can not only recuperate the spleen and stomach before the New Year, but also lay a foundation for health in the coming year.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow, and it is the "backup" of other viscera, that is to say, after a person is born, the function of any organ and tissue depends on temper. On the other hand, if the temper is not strong enough, the functions of other organs are also difficult to be strong.

Some people may ask here that the five internal organs of human beings correspond to the four seasons, among which spring corresponds to the liver, summer corresponds to the heart, autumn corresponds to the lungs, winter corresponds to the kidney, and the spleen has no corresponding season. Why?

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes that "the spleen does not dominate the four seasons" and that "the spleen flourishes at the four seasons", which means that the spleen maintains the function of viscera and the whole life activities throughout the year. Although it does not dominate the four seasons alone, it always participates in any season. In other words, strengthening the spleen is something to be done all year round, especially in spring, because there is a liver who especially likes to bully the spleen in spring.

Since we want to strengthen the spleen, we can't do without drugs and food for strengthening the spleen. The commonly used drugs for invigorating spleen in TCM include Ginseng Jianpi Pill, Buzhong Yiqi Pill, Shen Ling Baizhu Pill, etc., which are aimed at indigestion, fatigue, and drinking water.

But many people with spleen deficiency are not serious enough to take medicine. By adjusting diet and lifestyle, you can strengthen the spleen in your life. For example, many foods have the function of strengthening the spleen:

Spleen and digestion, try this cup of medicinal tea.

Raw materials:

1. Stir-fried malt: Chinese medicine believes that malt is sweet and flat, and enters the spleen, stomach and liver meridians. Raw malt that has not been fried has the property of hair growth, which can help people with weak temper to have hair growth. Besides the property of hair growth, fried malt is more warm, which can strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness.

2. Orange peel: orange peel is a commonly used medicine for invigorating spleen and regulating qi in traditional Chinese medicine. People with spleen deficiency are more likely to get wet, because "transportation is weak". With the help of dried tangerine peel, the burden of spleen-qi transformation can be reduced and the possibility of dampness resistance can be reduced.

3. Endothelium Corneum Gigeriae Galli: It has the effect of promoting digestion and invigorating the stomach, and can help the spleen and stomach to share the transport pressure caused by excessive eating, and treat food accumulation caused by excessive eating of rice, noodles, potatoes, taro, milk, meat and other foods. The digestion of food accumulation reduces the burden on the spleen and stomach, and objectively has the function of restoring temper and strengthening the spleen.
