Always eat healthy, do not resort to processed foods that contain loads of sugar. Everyone has a "comfort" food they resort to, mine are almonds. Almonds are very healthy, they contain protein, carbohydrates, and plenty of important oils
I try Jasmine tea and it works to tonify the spleen and calm me down. I would like to know on how spleen effects on our emotion directly.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks, to everyone very much for any suggestions :>
http://www.needletherapy.co.uk/foods-to-tonify-the-spleen/Foods to tonify the spleenIn Chinese medicine, the Spleen and stomach are responsible for receiving food and transforming it into Qi and blood that is passed around the body, nourishing every cell.
Overeating or undereating, eating erratically, consuming too many sweet foods, eating whilst stressed or while walking / working etc, can make it harder for the spleen to transform food properly. Overtime this can lead to Spleen Qi Deficiency. Symptoms of this are commonly referred to as IBS such as bloating, sluggishness, wind, diarrhoea and tiredness.
As the Spleen is unable to transform food efficiently, dampness is eventually produced within the body. In western medicine this may be identified as bad bacteria, virus, fungus, yeast infections, and/or parasites! Most people with spleen Qi deficiency will also have dampness.
With food not being transformed properly and an accumulation of damp, this can lead to problems such as allergies (especially food allergies), inflammation, high blood sugar (which can be a cause of acne), weight gain, eczema, and urinary tract infections.

Do you have any suggestions on how to interpret "Cocoa stirs the lifegate fire - kidney yang" in Biology?

Chocolate is a combination of
oil, sugar, and cocoa. We have seen that both oil and sugar are
dampening and damaging to the spleen. Temporarily, the sugar
will boost the spleen qi, but ultimately it will result in "sugar
blues" or a hypoglycemic let down.
Cocoa stirs the lifegate fire.
The lifegate fire is another name for kidney yang or kidney fire,
and kidney fire is the source of sexual energy and desire. It is said
that chocolate is the food of love, and from the Chinese medical
point of view, that is true. Since chocolate stimulates kidney fire
at the same time as it temporarily boosts the spleen, it does give
one rush of yang qi. In addition, this rush of yang qi does move
depression and stagnation, at least short-term. So it makes sense
that some people with liver depression, spleen vacuity, and
kidney yang debility might crave chocolate."
