The spleen and stomach are Yang organ,
so they like heat.
If you eat too much fruit, since fruit is mainly cold in nature,
and you are someone with deficiency-cold of the spleen and stomach,
then you end up getting sick.
Mrs. Liu on the other hand, didn`t have any special diet—
but she was busy trading on the stock market every day.
I`ve been trading stocks for years.
It`s just a hobby of mine,
I just think it is a fun thing to do.
I`m at home with nothing to do,
and my kid is at school,
I`m at home with nothing to do….
So, she is very earnest in her trading---
she puts all of her focus on this. She is very earnest.
And that being the case,
it actually causes a lot of pressure, so she can`t even relax,
and it even affects her lunch.
She just eats whatever is at home and go back to it,
and she doesn`t have enough time to digest.
Constantly watching the stock markets,
unpredictable changes,
while eating whatever is handy to save time,
this could be a reason for
the damage to her spleen and stomach?
? The transportation and transformation function of
the spleen and stomach, require the free flow of liver Qi,
in order to properly digest things.
With her, focusing so much on trading stocks,
with all of the pressure she has,
she had liver dysfunction
and her spleen and stomach couldn`t digest things.
It seems like there are reasons
for why their spleens and stomachs would be in poor health---
meaning that adjusting their spleens and stomach would be the focus.
So, we warm the middle Jiao, and nourish the spleen.
We used Chinese goldthread,
false starwort,
fried large-head atractylodes rhizome.
To balance the stomach we used orange peel,
pinella ternate, trifoliate orange, areca peel
and you can also use loquat leaves.
It was all medicine to treat the stomach,
and suppress stomach acid,
and there was some medicine
to treat some ulcers on my duodenum.
There really wasn`t any medicine for my cough.
Like Mr. Han,
Mrs. Liu took medicine to balance her spleen and stomach.
But didn`t she need to get treated for her cough?
I was much better, after two doses of Chinese medicine—
I could get a good night`s sleep.
As long as I could sleep at night, I was happy.
I took it for half a month,
and then I got another half a month`s worth of medicine,
and after that dose was finished,
I was much better.
After taking the medicine and having acupuncture performed,
after two or three acupuncture treatments,
it was almost instantaneously that my cough was almost completely better,
and I didn`t have any acid reflux
It was really amazing.
TCM states that any organ can cause coughing,
not just the lungs.
Some people think of those `false symptoms`
as illusions of disease.
Actually, it is not that the disease itself is cunning—
it`s just that we don`t know enough about ourselves.
Good physicians are like clever detectives,
being able to place together clues
to find the truth of a disease,
and help people resolve their problems.
