Four Simple Ways to Protect Your Spleen



The Spleen is located in your abdomen. Chinese medicine considers that the Spleen organ system’s main functions involve digestion, circulation and blood production. If the Spleen is weak or disordered, you can experience the following symptoms:
Tired, fatigued
Pale face, heart palpitations
Iron deficiency
Bloating especially after eating
Sluggish or loose bowel movements, often with undigested food.
Puffy face and eyelids especially in the morning
Easy to gain weight and difficult to lose weight
Scanty and delayed periods
Insomnia, light sleep or waking up frequently

Ways to protect your Spleen
1. Avoid eating and drinking cold foods taken straight from the fridge, especially eating chilled foods often and in large amounts.

2. Avoid staying in cold and damp environments for long periods of time.

3. Try to have at least 30 minutes of physical activity in the sunshine per day.

4. Eating the following foods more frequently can help your Spleen function: ginger tea, mandarins, onions, Chinese red dates, lotus seeds, white radish, green vegetables.

If you frequently experience the symptoms listed above, please see your medical doctor for a check-up or visit TCM experienced practitioners who can help you.
