How to regulate qi deficiency in middle-aged and elderly people

The main symptoms of spleen and stomach weakness are anorexia, abdominal distension after eating, diarrhea, loose stools and sallow complexion. Tonic drugs must be absorbed by the spleen and stomach first to play a role. If people with weak spleen and stomach just take supplements blindly, they will not only be unable to keep fit, but will increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, affect the absorption of nutrients in normal diet and even damage their health. This is what Chinese medicine calls "deficiency does not make up".

The solution is as follows:

First of all, we should take drugs to regulate stomach qi, aromatic dampness, spleen and qi, and regulate the weak spleen and stomach function of human body, which is what Chinese medicine calls "clearing the way first", and then make up until the symptoms of spleen and stomach weakness basically disappear.

Followed by tonic and spleen and stomach conditioning. That is, at the same time of tonic, some drugs such as Atractylodes macrocephala, Amomum villosum, dried tangerine peel, cardamom and bergamot are supplemented. It is compatible with these drugs in tonic, so that the human body can replenish without stagnation.

Thirdly, we should pay attention to the moderate increase of tonic drugs, which requires close observation and attention. When middle-aged and elderly people with spleen and stomach weakness take tonic drugs, they should take half of the conventional dose first, and then gradually increase it to a positive constant when no adverse reactions are found.

Finally, if middle-aged and elderly patients have qi deficiency and blood deficiency at the same time, qi is often the first priority, because qi-invigorating drugs usually have the effect of invigorating the spleen, which can also produce blood and improve the symptoms of blood deficiency in patients. Blood-enriching drugs are greasy, which easily hinder the stomach and smooth the intestines. They can only be used after the spleen and stomach are healthy.
