I don’t know if you have found this situation, when you go to the toilet, sometimes the stool is formed at first, a little dry, but at the back, the stool becomes thin, unformed, and even serious also a little diarrhea, so this stool before dry and then thin is what happened?
We all know that people with a deficient spleen are prone to unformed stools, because the spleen is responsible for transportation, absorption and transport, that is, the spleen has to absorb the food in the stomach and intestines, the essence of the substances inside, and then transported to our other organs, our body tissues and joints, for our whole body to use.
But if the spleen is too weak, it can’t absorb these water and grain essences, so they are mixed with these food residues and expelled from the body, and then the stools become thin and unformed.
Then you may ask, why would the stool be dry before and then thin? This is mainly related to an organ, the stomach, our body’s stomach is like a large pot of our body, first we have to be willing to put food into the pot, this is the acceptance, the acceptance of strong function, we will want to eat, appetite, good appetite.
The second is to cook the food that we eat, with fire underneath, to cook it thinly, so that our spleen can better absorb the essence of the water and grain inside.
If the stomach is too strong, the fire below is too strong, then our pot may be overcooked, it will be burned dry, this time it is particularly easy to cause the stool to become increasingly dry, especially the stomach small intestine, large intestine they are a pipe down, the stomach is too strong, the stomach fire is too strong, this time the small intestine large intestine fire will also be strong, it is easy to cause the stool to become dry.
However, if the stomach is strong and the spleen is weak, there will be a situation where the front of the stool is dry and the back is thin, which is what we used to call a strong stomach and a weak spleen. So what are the manifestations of this group of people?
Normally, a person with a weak spleen should have a poor appetite and not like to eat, but we sometimes find that many people around us with a weak spleen have a particularly good appetite.
This means that their spleen function is weak, but their stomach function is fine, so they have a good appetite and love to eat, but they don’t absorb, or they can’t transport to the whole body after absorbing, so these people have a typical symptom that their stomach is fat, but the surrounding area is not so fat.
If we have these conditions, then it is more typical that the stomach is strong and the spleen is weak. So how can we determine whether our spleen and stomach are weak or not?
First of all, we can look at our tongue and stick it out to see if there are any teeth marks on both sides of our tongue, that is, teeth marks.
In addition, if we love to eat and are usually hungry very fast, this means that our stomach is still able to cook and accept the functions of the stomach.
So if we have a strong stomach and a weak spleen, how do we take care of it?
In fact, the stomach is a little stronger, which is fine, if the stomach is strong, we let our spleen is also strong, is this the best? Let the spleen and stomach reach a balanced state.
So for people who have normal stomach function and have no problem eating, but the spleen is too weak, so the food they eat cannot be absorbed or absorbed cannot be transported to the whole body, and their stomach is particularly fat, we can strengthen the spleen.
But some people, the stomach function is too strong, it will become fire, we will find that such people will have bad breath, often toothache, tongue color is very red, the front of the stool is very dry, but also often feel the burning feeling inside the stomach, especially love to drink cold water, love to eat cold, then this time we need to clear the stomach fire again.
However, I suggest that it is best to do this under the guidance of a doctor and not to form your own random prescriptions, because your understanding of your own constitution is sometimes not comprehensive enough.
