Nowadays, people's living standards have improved, "face" has become more and more important, and people are spending more and more on skin care. "Face" is important, but "substance" is more crucial. Although skin diseases occur on the skin, they are related to the imbalance of qi, blood, yin and yang in the internal organs, and are particularly closely related to spleen and stomach dysfunction. It should be emphasized that some patients who are prone to acne think that acne is caused by "getting angry", so they buy bitter and cold purgatives to "remove fire and detoxify". This is a big mistake. Bitter and cold medicines often damage the spleen and stomach, and may have the opposite effect. In my clinical work, I have found that some skin diseases, such as acne, chloasma, pruritus, eczema, etc. are caused by spleen and stomach dysfunction. Therefore, regulating the spleen and stomach is very important for the treatment of skin diseases. This is also a reflection of the traditional Chinese medicine principle of "treating external diseases internally". There are three main causes of spleen and stomach damage: irregular diet, excessive work and rest, and mental stimulation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "overeating will damage the stomach and intestines". Excessive hunger and fullness, and a fondness for spicy, fatty, and greasy food will affect the absorption and digestion of the spleen and stomach, thus leading to the occurrence of skin diseases. Overwork or greed for comfort can also affect the spleen and stomach functions, which is not conducive to the normal operation of Qi and blood. In severe cases, it can lead to stagnation of Qi and blood, manifested by symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat and pain of the skin, dryness and desquamation, and pigmentation. Therefore, patients with skin diseases must pay attention to rest, maintain a regular work and rest schedule, and avoid staying up late for long periods of time. In addition, long-term and excessive mental stimulation, such as anger, sadness, worry, worry, fear, etc., will affect the digestive function of the spleen and stomach, and induce the occurrence of diseases such as chloasma, vitiligo, freckles, and acne. Since the disease originates from disharmony between the spleen and stomach, patients with skin diseases need to regulate their bodies based on syndrome differentiation and treatment: those with damp-heat syndrome should remove dampness and clear heat; those with cold-damp syndrome should warm the yang, strengthen the spleen, and eliminate dampness. |
