Dr. He Haochen
Symptoms of spleen and stomach deficiency-cold typically include decreased appetite, indigestion, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and loose stools. Patients may experience a cold, painful sensation in the stomach, which often worsens after consuming raw or cold foods. Due to weakened spleen and stomach function, patients may also exhibit systemic symptoms such as sallow complexion, fatigue, low energy, and cold limbs. It is recommended to avoid excessive intake of cold or cooling foods and instead consume warm-natured ingredients such as ginger, scallions, and garlic to tonify the spleen and stomach with warmth. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) approaches may be appropriately used, such as taking herbal decoctions or proprietary Chinese medicines that warm the interior and dispel cold, for example, Fuzi Lizhong Pills. Additionally, maintaining regular daily routines and healthy eating habits, avoiding overexertion, and engaging in regular physical exercise can strengthen the body's constitution and help alleviate symptoms of spleen and stomach deficiency-cold.
