Cold-dampness syndrome of spleen and stomach is mostly caused by cold-dampness outside the body, such as living in a damp place, getting wet in the rain, or living in a cold and damp climate, or cold-dampness inside the body, such as over-eating fat, sweet, thick and greasy food, or raw and cold food, which results in cold-dampness within the body and loss of spleen-yang movement.
