Signs of Improvement in Chinese Medicine for Spleen Deficiency

Signs of improvement in the treatment of spleen deficiency in Chinese medicine include a reduction in a range of symptoms such as bloating, loose stools (thin, unformed feces), fatigue, and dizziness. According to Chinese medicine, the spleen is one of the five organs, and its functions include transporting and transforming food and water-dampness, and regulating blood. Spleen deficiency is mostly caused by uncontrolled diet, or overwork, or prolonged worry, or insufficient endowment (inborn constitution and poor functioning), vegetative spleen deficiency, or old age, or prolonged illness and exhaustion, and carelessness of nourishment. Spleen deficiency patients are mostly characterized by lack of desire to eat or little food, abdominal distension, bloating after eating, loose stools, fatigue (mental exhaustion, physical weakness), lack of energy and laziness (lack of strength, do not want to talk), tiredness of the limbs, or puffiness, or emaciation, or obesity, and yellowish color (yellowish color with no luster). Treatment can be identified by taking Poria, Atractylodes macrocephala, ginseng, Chinese yam and other herbs that replenish the spleen and benefit the qi. If symptoms such as bloating, loose stools, fatigue and dizziness are alleviated, it means that the TCM treatment of spleen deficiency appears to be improving. If there is a need for medication, it is recommended that it be used under the guidance of a professional physician, not blindly self-medication.
