I have specialized in the spleen and stomach for many years, and I have seen many patients. Compared to other doctors, patients who have passed through my hands tend to recover quickly and well. Why?
Because I usually like to study ancient books, I will write down good recipes when I see them. Although this recipe has aged, it is still valid for modern people. Problems such as fatness, edema, eye bags, and dark circles caused by lack of yang qi can be used to help patients restore the normal metabolism of the body and regain their healthy brilliance by warming the yang and dissipating cold, strengthening the spleen and relieving dampness.
A few years ago, I had a patient, Ms. Li, who was nearly 40 years old, due to her long-term busy work and uncontrolled diet, she gradually developed symptoms such as fatness, facial edema, obvious eye bags, and severe dark circles after a long time. After a face-to-face consultation, I judged that Ms. Li was suffering from cold, dampness, spleen, and lack of yang energy.
So I drew up a recipe for her: Poria cocos, Atractylodes, cinnamon branches, and licorice.
Solution:
Poria cocos is good for water dampness, strengthens the spleen and calms the heart, and is a king's medicine;
Atractylodes atractylodes strengthens the spleen and dampness, strengthens the spleen-strengthening effect of Poria cocos, and is also a subordinate medicine;
Cinnamon branches warm yang and dissolve qi, help Poria cocos and Atractylodes macrocephalus to warm cold and dampness, and are adjuvants;
Licorice blends all kinds of medicines, for making medicine.
The four flavors are compatible, and the whole recipe plays a role in dispelling cold and dampness, warming the spleen and stomach, and diluting water and reducing swelling.
After taking this formula for one month, Ms. Li's body became much lighter, and her facial edema, eye bags, and dark circles were significantly improved. After taking it for two months, her weight returned to the normal range, she was in good spirits, and when I saw her again, I felt that she was ten years younger.
Although there are not many medicinal materials in this formula, the reason why it can help patients recover quickly is because it is precisely used for medicine, specifically targeting the pathogenesis of patients who are cold and damp, trapped in the spleen, and lack of yang qi.
However, medication needs to be cautious, and everyone must first distinguish the syndrome before taking medication.
