How to explain spleen and stomach damp-heat with traditional Chinese medicine

Spleen-stomach damp-heat is a TCM syndrome in which damp-heat stays in the spleen and stomach and affects the function of the spleen and stomach.

TCM believes that the spleen is in charge of transportation and the stomach is in charge of reception. If the spleen and stomach function is dysfunctional, it will lead to moisture accumulation. Moisture is a sticky and thick body fluid. If it cannot be discharged in time, it will lead to damp-heat pathological state. Secondly, excessive eating of greasy, sweet and other hot and humid foods for a long time will easily cause damp-heat accumulation in the spleen and stomach, resulting in damp-heat in the spleen and stomach.

Symptoms of damp-heat in the spleen and stomach mainly include dry mouth, abdominal distension, thin stools, obesity, etc. General patients can be treated with Qingzhen Decoction, Wendan Decoction, Zhishi Daozhi Pill and other drugs.
