The evils of cold and dampness impregnate the skin, and the evils of dampness impede the qi-transforming function of the spleen and stomach, the spleen cannot be transported and the dampness is generated from the endogenous, the body fluids stop gathering and become phlegm, and the phlegm condenses and stagnates and causes disease.
3. The spleen is weak
It lost to the evil of invigorating the spleen, which is responsible for transporting and dissolving dampness.
If the diet is not healthy for a long time, such as excessive drinking, unsuitable hunger and fullness, excessive eating of fat and sweet, raw and cold so that the spleen and stomach transport and transformation are neglected, or fatigue and internal injury, chronic illness, excessive thinking, etc., can lead to weakness of the spleen and stomach, loss of health. Damp turbidity condenses into phlegm, phlegm stagnates qi machine, phlegm qi stroke knot develops as the disease.
