What to do if your body is weak and cannot be replenished?

Physical weakness refers to the phenomenon that some people have poor digestion and absorption functions, and their bodies are too weak to absorb tonic medicine. This kind of weakness is mostly caused by weak spleen and stomach, which manifests in physical and nervous discomfort, and often has symptoms such as bloating, headache, visual fatigue, and physical weakness. When the body is weak, it is necessary to use a moderate amount of Chinese herbal medicines to slowly regulate it.

What does it mean that the body is weak and cannot be replenished?

"Weakness and inability to be supplemented" refers to people with poor gastrointestinal function, poor digestion and absorption, or even heavy dampness and heat, thick and greasy tongue coating, and difficulty digesting meals. In other words, the patient is physically weak and cannot accept tonic medicine.

Reasons why deficiency cannot be replenished:

Weak spleen and stomach are the main reasons for "the deficiency cannot be supplemented". Since the digestion function of the stomach and the transportation and transformation function of the spleen are poor, and the supplements are mostly greasy, they are not well digested and absorbed after taking them, but increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in symptoms such as indigestion. Although the treatment says "the deficiency should be supplemented", warm and hot medicines are not accepted. The medicine is slightly warm, which will cause "getting angry" and heat symptoms. This is because hot medicines severely damage the yin.

Symptoms of deficiency that cannot be replenished

1. Physical weakness manifests as anxiety, palpitations and lack of sleep: Eat more foods containing calcium and phosphorus. Foods rich in calcium include soybeans, milk (including yogurt), fresh oranges, and oysters; foods rich in phosphorus include spinach, chestnuts, grapes, potatoes, and eggs.

2. Nervous sensitivity due to physical weakness: Steamed fish is suitable, but add some green leafy vegetables. Lie down and rest for a while before eating to relax your tense mood; you can also drink a small amount of red wine to help gastrointestinal motility.

3. Headache and bloating due to physical weakness: Chew some dried fruits such as peanuts, almonds, cashews, walnuts, etc., because they are rich in protein, vitamin B, calcium, iron and plant fat.

4. Eye fatigue due to physical weakness: You can eat eel for lunch, because eel is rich in vitamin A. In addition, eating fried pork liver with leeks is also effective.

5. Physical weakness: Eat nuts, such as peanuts, melon seeds, walnuts, pine nuts, hazelnuts, and even better, torreya grandis. They are very effective in strengthening the brain and memory.

How to treat a weak body that cannot be replenished

If the body is too weak to be nourished and the patient suffers from a weak kidney disease, then warming medicines such as Guifu should not be used or should be used in small amounts. Only neutral and clear nourishing medicines such as Rehmannia glutinosa, Asparagus cochinchinensis, Ophiopogon japonicus, and Dendrobium candidum can be used to slowly nourish the patient.

For those who suffer from spleen and stomach diseases and are weak and cannot be supplemented, ginseng and codonopsis cannot be used. Those with good economic conditions can use American ginseng, and those with poor conditions can use Pseudostellaria baicalensis. Atractylodes macrocephala is dry, so scorched Atractylodes macrocephala can be used. Lentils strengthen the spleen, but they are not considered airy, so lentil flowers can be used instead. Other flowers can also be used, such as bergamot flowers, magnolia flowers, rose flowers, etc.....

The dosage of medicine used to treat chronic diseases should be light. After the medicine takes effect, the dosage should be gradually increased. This is the way to treat people who are weak and cannot be replenished.
