Have you noticed how your thinking feels dull after a heavy meal? That sleepy haze might signal a direct link between digestion and cognition.
In TCM, the Spleen transforms food into resources that power the body and mind. When it’s strong, mental energy is focused and steady.
Compared to Western medicine, TCM’s Spleen concept includes digestion, nutrient absorption, and mental functions. When digestion falters, both body and mind suffer.
I frequently see patients with bloating also struggling with concentration or memory. Strengthening digestive energy often lifts brain fog.
Watch for difficulty concentrating after eating, fatigue, or sugar cravings. Worry or overthinking can also drain Spleen energy.
Memory trouble combined with indigestion often hints at Spleen imbalances. These clues suggest your mental clarity may improve with better digestive support.
Easily digested foods like warm porridges or cooked vegetables reduce strain on the Spleen. Gentle spices such as ginger promote better nutrient absorption and stable energy.
Regular meal times and mindful eating can also improve mental sharpness. Small walks after meals help the Spleen distribute energy more efficiently.
At Weald Chiropractic, we adapt TCM principles to help patients find clarity in body and mind. Through acupuncture, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle tweaks, we address Spleen Qi so you can stay clear-headed.
If your mind feels foggy alongside digestive complaints, consider exploring TCM’s view of the Spleen. Simple choices can bring lasting improvements to your day-to-day thinking.
