Maintenance method of long summer solar terms-warming stomach meridian

After the long summer (May 6-May 19), the temperature gradually warmed up, and the qi and blood in the body echoed with the rise of the yang in heaven and earth, and moved to the body surface in large quantities. At the same time, they are also preparing to help internal organs to dissipate heat in hot summer. Most of the qi and blood of the human body are supplied to the body surface, which makes the qi and blood hidden in the viscera relatively scarce. Therefore, in summer, our appetite will become worse, reducing food intake and making the burden on the stomach lower. Take advantage of the early summer to repair the stomach and grasp the best maintenance opportunity in a year.

If our body is a tree of life, the dense branches and leaves are our lungs. Leaves are like alveoli to exchange gas, and thick trunks are like liver, gallbladder and meridians, helping to transport qi and blood to all parts of the body. Spleen and stomach meridians are like roots deeply rooted in the soil, absorbing the essence of the earth and nourishing life. It is not responsible for digesting and absorbing spleen meridians, but for transporting nutrients to the heart and paper to the whole body, so whether the qi and blood of the body are filled in the spleen and stomach meridians is closely related to the health of the body.

Hot summer consumes a lot of energy, and I am in the low operation stage. So summer is the best season to lose weight, and it is also the season to recuperate the stomach.

Principles that must be observed in nourishing the stomach in summer: drink warm water as much as possible, eat warm food, eat cold fruits and not eat more cold drinks and ice products.

After eating cold food in summer, gastrointestinal hormones cool down, so the qi and blood on the body surface will return to the stomach to help warm the stomach. When the stomach is warm, qi and blood will return to the body surface. If the gastrointestinal tract is often in a state of alternating hot and cold, it will definitely consume energy in the stomach.

In the long summer, the refined oil of stomach meridian was used to warm the stomach, eliminate flatulence, help digestion, relieve gastroesophageal reflux, relieve diarrhea and help defecation.

Tibetan fennel: helps yang to promote hair growth, helps digestion, dissolves color and relieves flatulence.

Cardamom: it can stimulate the smooth operation of the stomach and intestines, penetrate the skin quickly through massage, and effectively enhance the vitality of abdominal organs. Soothes the smooth muscle of the stomach and provides endless digestive energy for the stomach.

Kaempferol: Relieve flatulence and pain and promote digestion. Stable root energy can not only directly help the digestive function of the stomach at the physiological level. Through the sense of smell in the nervous system, we can also gain insight, stabilize emotions and help inner stability and peace.

Today's content is very important to me. My family and I both have gastrointestinal diseases, which are related to eating habits and emotions. I will know how to take care of myself and my father's stomach in the future. I'm going to give my father essential oil to regulate the spleen and stomach and improve the symptoms of diarrhea.
