The patient had symptoms of spleen qi deficiency such as fatigue, shortness of breath, easy to exertion, reduced diet, etc., and symptoms of dampness such as watery stools and tooth-marked tongue, and there were no obvious symptoms of yang deficiency at the initial diagnosis. Therefore, on the basis of “Four Gentlemen Soup”, Coix lacryma-jobi, white lentils, tangerine peel and lotus seed meat were used to seep away dampness and stop diarrhea, and sand nuts were used to strengthen the spleen with their aroma.

The patient’s addiction to cold food and alcohol for a long time hurt the spleen qi, causing the spleen to lose its ability to transport and transform, resulting in spleen deficiency and dampness, manifested as thin stools, the completion of the grain is not transformed, that is, the phenomenon of stools after meals, is the summer love of ice-cold beer for men prone to long-term diarrhea, teeth marking the tongue of the reason, coupled with the spleen deficiency is often a longer course of the disease, it is very easy to damage the yang, there will be a deficiency of spleen yang or renal yang deficiency, such as the occurrence of diarrhea in the morning and impotence and premature ejaculation, are related to the patients.

At the turn of spring and summer, the heavier season of dampness, you can eat yam, Job’s tears, Poria, white lentils and other spleen and dampness food, but also with some patchouli, Pelargonium, Atractylodes macrocephala, half-summer, Chen Pi and other dampness traditional Chinese medicine, preventive and preventive measures to prevent the problem.
