Manifestations of Spleen and Stomach Yang Deficiency

Insufficient Middle Yang

Spleen and stomach Yang deficiency refers to insufficient Yang Qi in the middle jiao! When Yang Qi is insufficient, warmth is lost, and individuals will primarily exhibit cold limbs.

The stomach governs the rotting and ripening of food, while the spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation. When warmth and movement are deficient, one often feels bloated in the stomach, lacks appetite, and does not want to eat.

Cold nature causes stagnation and contraction; when cold obstructs the stomach channels, it leads to pain, often resulting in epigastric pain, especially after exposure to cold.

The spleen Qi is responsible for ascending, while the stomach Qi is responsible for descending. When ascending is deficient, consuming cold foods can lead to discomfort and easily diarrhea; when descending is deficient, stomach Qi may rebel, leading to vomiting.

Hemorrhagic Disorders

When spleen Yang is deficient, it fails to control blood, leading to various hemorrhagic disorders, such as hematochezia, hematemesis, epistaxis, and menorrhagia.

With these symptoms, one can generally diagnose Spleen and Stomach Yang deficiency. The treatment principle is primarily to warm the middle and disperse cold, with supplementary methods to tonify Qi and strengthen the spleen, suitable for “Li Zhong Wan” (Regulate the Middle Pill).
