Friends who know Chinese medicine know that the spleen and stomach are the root of qi and blood and the source of vitality. Gao Li, one of the four famous doctors in the medical field of Jin and Yuan Dynasties, put forward the saying that "internal injuries to the spleen and stomach lead to all diseases", so nourishing the spleen and stomach is the foundation of health preservation, and poor spleen and stomach is the root of most sub-health and diseases.

Since the spleen and stomach are so important, how to recuperate? There is such a Chinese medicine that nourishes the spleen and stomach blindly. It can not only nourish the spleen and stomach, but also regulate qi and dispel cold. Li Shizhen said in Compendium of Materia Medica that activating the spleen. This is Gan Song, a Chinese medicine.

Gan Song, a traditional Chinese medicine, has a word pine in its name, but it has nothing to do with pine. It is the root and stem of Patrinia herb Gan Song. It can be harvested in spring or autumn, but it is better to harvest in autumn, and it is better to harvest herbs with strong aroma of main roots.

Its five flavors are sweet and pungent, and its four qi are warm, belonging to spleen meridian and stomach meridian, which has the functions of regulating qi to relieve pain, relieving depression and invigorating spleen.

[Gan Song's Understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine]

Gan Song's five flavors can promote qi, its fragrance can awaken the spleen, and four temperatures can dispel cold, so it can nourish the spleen and stomach, especially the spleen and stomach discomfort caused by cold coagulation and qi deficiency.

There are also records in ancient medical books in China, such as Compendium of Materia Medica: "Gan Song wakes up the spleen and stomach"; Compendium of Materia Medica records: "Gan Song is fragrant, which makes the spleen depressed and wakes up the temper".

It is worth noting that although Gan Song can nourish the spleen and stomach, it should be used with caution for people with qi deficiency and blood heat.

Therefore, there is a saying that "all diseases are caused by internal injuries of the spleen and stomach". Gan Song is a traditional Chinese medicine for nourishing the spleen and stomach.
