Manifestations of Dampness Blocking the Middle Jiao

Dampness obstructing the middle Jiao (dampness obstructing the functions of the spleen and stomach) is manifested by stuffiness in the chest and epigastric region, nausea, vomiting, unruly or loose stools, and dizziness (a feeling of heaviness in the head and limbs). When dampness is blocked in the middle jiao, the spleen and stomach cannot exercise normal digestion and absorption functions, which can be seen in the chest and stomach, stuffiness and discomfort in the stomach, acidic water in the mouth, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension and fullness, sticky or loose stools, and pain in the head and body (a feeling of heaviness in the head and limbs). If dampness becomes heat after a long period of time, fever, thirst, constipation, and yellow and greasy moss can also be seen. Patients with dampness obstructing the middle jiao are advised to go to a regular hospital in time and be treated under the guidance of a professional physician to identify the symptoms.
