Skin acne experts suggest regulating the spleen and stomach first

As living standards improve, "face" becomes more and more important, and people spend more and more on skin care. However, while "face" is important, "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. There are three main causes of spleen and stomach damage:

Eating disorder

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

Overwork or seeking comfort can also affect the spleen and stomach function, which is not conducive to the normal flow of qi and blood. In severe cases, it can lead to qi and blood stagnation, which manifests as symptoms such as skin redness, swelling, heat, pain, dryness, desquamation, and pigmentation.

Mental stimulation

Patients with skin diseases must pay attention to rest, maintain a regular 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. 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 laxatives 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.
