Symptoms of spleen and stomach deficiency and cold
1. Changes in tongue coating
The changes on the tongue are the external manifestations of the spleen. A healthy tongue should be red and look very moist. There should be a layer of tongue coating on the surface of the tongue, which is thin and very clean. If there are obvious tooth marks on the edges of the tongue, it means that the body's function has problems.
If the tongue coating is thick and white, and looks smooth and moist, it indicates cold in the body. If the tongue coating is rough or thick, yellowish, and greasy, it indicates damp-heat in the body. If the tongue is red without coating, it indicates that the body has been heated to a certain extent and yin has been damaged.
2. Decreased appetite
In traditional Chinese medicine theory, when dampness enters the body, it is easy to damage the spleen. The main function of the spleen is to digest and absorb various foods and liquids that enter the body, and convert these substances into usable nutrients, providing new energy for the body's metabolism.
Most people will experience a decrease in appetite and digestive function in a damp and hot environment. However, some people are not affected by their appetite and have a strong sense of hunger, but they feel bloated after eating. This is also a manifestation of strong stomach and weak spleen.
