How Hot Water Helps You P**p (TCM Knows) ☕️
If you struggle with bloating, sluggish digestion, or constipation, Traditional Chinese Medicine has a deceptively simple secret already in your kitchen.
Here’s the TCM logic:
1. Targets the Spleen System: Hot water’s first stop is your stomach and spleen. In TCM, these are your core digestive engines.
2. Stokes Your Digestive Fire: Warmth helps "wake up" and strengthen these organs, allowing them to transform food and fluids efficiently.
3. Keeps Things Moving: A warm, strong spleen ensures nutrients are transported properly and waste is smoothly sent downward to the large intestine for easy elimination.
The Problem with Cold Water: 🧊
Iced drinks shock and weaken this digestive fire(or "Spleen Qi"). This can lead to slower digestion, bloating, and that stuck, clogged feeling.
The Simple Protocol:
· When: Drink a cup of warm-hot water (not boiling, but comfortably hot) first thing in the morning and 30 minutes before meals.
· Why: This primes your digestion without diluting stomach acids during a meal.
· Be Consistent: Try this for just 3-7 days. Many are shocked by the difference.
It’s not a magic pill, but a foundational habit. Your gut might just thank you for the warmth.
