Stomach ache from the exam
The DSE (Diploma of Secondary Education Examination) is in full swing, and a friend messaged me to complain that she was worried about her son's intermittent stomach pain during exams. The boy has attended a traditional prestigious school since childhood, achieving top academic results, and both the school and teachers have high expectations for him. The child places high demands on himself, and his mind is often in a state of tension.
Exam-related stomach pain is a form of anxiety. High stress can lead to anxiety, and this negative emotion can affect the health of the spleen and stomach. The "Huangdi Neijing" (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) once mentioned, "Overthinking harms the spleen." Excessive concentration and overthinking can easily damage the spleen and stomach. Many people experience spleen and stomach dysfunction, loss of appetite, bloating, and stomach pain when faced with high work and life pressure. This kind of stomach pain is often not due to a problem with the stomach itself, but rather the body externalizing to relieve internal pressure.
Friends who easily experience stomach pain due to stress can try brewing a drink with two grams of osmanthus and five roses. This tea can soothe gastrointestinal nerves, warm the stomach, relieve pain, warm the middle jiao and dispel cold, and alleviate epigastric pain. If you experience bloating, you can add a little dried tangerine peel to brew the tea.
Osmanthus is warm in nature, has a pungent and fragrant taste, and enters the heart, spleen, liver, and stomach meridians. It can strengthen the spleen and stomach, eliminate stagnation, and dispel stomach cold, making it especially suitable for those with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold. Osmanthus tea can not only relieve stomach pain but also alleviate toothache and oral ulcers. Rose is warm in nature, has a sweet taste, and enters the liver and spleen meridians. It can promote the flow of qi and relieve stagnation, soothe the liver and regulate qi, replenish qi and blood, and balance endocrine.
To get rid of stomach pain caused by stress, it is also important to maintain a balanced diet, reduce the intake of irritating foods, avoid relying on coffee and strong tea to stay awake, and despite being busy with revision, engage in appropriate exercise and stretch your muscles. I wish everyone success in their exams!
