Diabetes is a very insidious disease, also known as the “silent killer”. The “Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in China” mentioned that from 2015 to 2017, newly diagnosed diabetes patients accounted for 54% of the total number of diabetes patients in the country; and about 40% of newly diagnosed diabetes patients in outpatient clinics were asymptomatic. What exactly is going on?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that asymptomatic diabetes is related to a strong stomach and a weak spleen. Stomach governs acceptance, spleen governs transportation and transformation; stomach governs lowering turbidity, spleen governs elevating phlegm, internal fire is generated when stomach is strong, and spleen deficiency cannot transport and transform water-dampness and turbid qi. , causing blood sugar to rise.
Therefore, in the treatment of asymptomatic diabetes, it is necessary to suppress the stomach and strengthen the spleen. Stomach suppression is to suppress stomach fire, which is divided into virtual fire and real fire, among which:
◎The tongue symptoms of real fire: bright red color, yellow and greasy tongue coating, and may be accompanied by excessive eating and hunger, dry mouth, fondness for cold drinks, greed for cold, red, swollen, hot and painful gums, swelling, pain, erosion, ulcers, dry stools and other symptoms .
◎ Tongue symptoms of virtual fire: red tongue, less body fluid on the tongue surface, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as dull pain in the epigastric cavity, hunger and hunger, retching, hiccups, dry mouth and throat, and dry stool.
For asymptomatic diabetic patients, Wei Zixiao, a national famous old Chinese medicine doctor, brought 2 ancient recipes, which can help “reverse” diabetes when used well:
1 Real Fire Type Diabetes: Use Sanhuang Soup
For people with diabetes who have severe stomach fire, it is necessary to clear the stomach fire.

Yes, but only under the guidance of a doctor.

Coptis chinensis has a strong heat-clearing effect, Zhimu clears lung fire on the upper side, clears stomach fire in the middle, and purifies kidney fire, and reed root clears heat and nourishes yin. The combination of these three herbs not only avoids excessively bitter cold and hurts the stomach, but also has the effect of tonifying yin. However, it is not suitable for people with spleen deficiency and yin deficiency and frequent diarrhea.
