Spleen deficiency is often caused by prolonged illness, dietary disorders, excessive worry, overwork, cold and dampness.
1. Prolonged illness injures the spleen: Long-term illnesses can cause damage to multiple internal organs, which in turn cause damage to the spleen, resulting in spleen deficiency.
2. Dietary disorders: poor dietary habits such as lack of moderation in daily diet and long-term overconsumption of cold and irritating foods can damage the spleen yang and lead to spleen deficiency.
3. Excessive worry and contemplation: long-term emotional discomfort, liver depression multiplies the spleen (poor liver qi affects the spleen), leading to spleen deficiency.
4. Overwork: Keeping the body in a state of overwork for a long period of time not only damages the Spleen and causes Spleen deficiency, but also involves many organs and tissues in the body.
5. Cold and dampness: Cold and dampness trapped in the spleen will affect the function of the spleen and eventually lead to spleen deficiency.
If you have been diagnosed with spleen deficiency by a professional Chinese medicine practitioner, you should be treated through a diagnostic and therapeutic approach.
