Speaking of spleen deficiency, many people's first reaction is that the body is prone to dampness and phlegm, which can cause various problems. But in fact, phlegm and dampness are only an important aspect of the problem caused by spleen deficiency, and it cannot be regarded as all manifestations of spleen deficiency.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, phlegm and dampness are like the "garbage" produced by our body's metabolism. As long as people are alive, this "garbage" will continue to be generated. However, as long as it does not exceed the normal physiological range of the body, we can coexist peacefully with it and clean it up without being too anxious. After all, within a certain limit, phlegm and dampness will not cause much harm to the body.

But in reality, some people's phlegm and dampness are sick. They took a lot of phlegm and dampness medicine, and the symptoms of spleen deficiency could indeed be alleviated. But once the drug is stopped, spleen deficiency will come back. This is because phlegm and dampness belong to yin evil, and under normal circumstances, it should go down. Therefore, if there is simply phlegm and dampness problems, people often have heavy legs and swollen legs.

However, some people with spleen deficiency have different symptoms, and will have a series of problems that affect the flow of qi and blood, such as dizziness, loss of appetite, loose stools, and listlessness. Behind this, the wind is actually causing trouble. The wind scurries around the body with phlegm and dampness, affecting the normal operation of the blood vessels. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the relationship between wind and liver is very close, and wind is dominated by the liver.

Nowadays, the pace of life is fast, the pressure is high, and many people have not very smooth liver qi, which is prone to liver depression. If the liver is stagnant for a long time, it is easy to turn into fire, and if the fire goes further, it will cause wind. The wind produced by this birth carries phlegm and dampness, which will interfere with the normal operation of our blood.

This type of person also has an obvious characteristic, that is, they are particularly anxious, irritable, and easily depressed. This is also the reason why many people take phlegm and dampness medicine, and the symptoms just improve a little, and then repeat again as soon as the medicine is stopped. Because they did not fundamentally solve the problem of phlegm and dampness affecting blood vessel channels.

Traditional Chinese medicine says that qi and blood are like rivers in the body, and they must circulate smoothly. If the blood channel is blocked by phlegm and dampness and wind evil, and the qi and blood do not run smoothly, the body will naturally have various problems. Therefore, only by opening up the blood channel so that qi and blood can flow smoothly can spleen deficiency and a series of problems caused by it be solved. And to open up this blood channel, the key is to regulate the liver.

Because the liver is mainly drained, the liver is adjusted, and the liver qi is smooth, it can avoid liver stagnation and fire and wind, and the wind will not run around with phlegm and dampness, and the blood channel will naturally be unblocked, and the problem of spleen deficiency can be better solved. Therefore, the highest level of spleen treatment is to regulate the liver, which is not false at all.
