Nourish the Spleen and Stomach
Do you want to look like a 35-year-old at 50 without relying on cosmetic procedures? According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the most important thing is to take good care of your spleen and stomach. From the TCM perspective, the spleen refers to not just the anatomical organ but also a comprehensive energy system that governs the pancreas, intestines, and stomach.In TCM, a fundamental concept is that “nourishing the spleen and stomach is nourishing life.” This is because the spleen is responsible for converting food and water into qi and blood, energy sources that circulate around our bodies, performing all the physiological functions. If the spleen and stomach are weak, the body will be deprived of sufficient qi and blood, weakening other organs and the body as a whole.
