【Causes of Stomach Pain】
1. Invasion of external pathogens into the stomach
External cold, dampness, and heat pathogens can all cause obstruction of the gastric qi, leading to pain. Among them, cold pathogens are the most common.
2. Diet-induced stomach damage
Improper diet, excessive hunger or fullness can damage the spleen and stomach, leading to stagnation of gastric qi and pain.
3. Emotional disturbances
Worry, overthinking, anger, and other emotional disturbances can damage the liver and spleen. When the liver loses its regulatory function and rebels against the stomach, and the spleen loses its healthy function, gastric qi is obstructed, resulting in stomach pain.
4. Spleen deficiency
The spleen and stomach are responsible for receiving and transforming food and drink. If the spleen and stomach are weak, the transformation function is impaired, and there is insufficient yang in the middle-jiao, leading to cold in the middle-jiao and stomach pain.
