Patient's question:
I often suffer from abdominal pain, abdominal pain, and am very afraid of cold. My hands and feet are often cold, my face is pale and lacks luster, and my stools are loose. Hello doctor, is this due to a disharmony between the spleen and stomach? If so, how can I treat this disharmony through dietary therapy? I really hope that I can stabilize my current symptoms through dietary therapy.Doctor's answer:
Spleen and kidney Yang deficiency is primarily caused by a severe exposure to cold pathogens or frequent illness that damages the Yang Qi of the spleen and kidneys. It mainly manifests as pale complexion, aversion to cold, cold limbs, and a frequently cold feeling in the abdomen. Additionally, it may cause loose stools and less smooth urination. If you want to supplement through diet, you can regularly consume foods with a warm-natured property that nourish kidney Yang and warm spleen Yang, such as dog meat, lamb, beef, pork, Chinese chives, edamame, cinnamon, etc.
