1: Spleen and stomach damp-heat syndrome is related to an unhealthy lifestyle, such as eating fatty and greasy foods, spicy foods, smoking and drinking, which can damage the spleen and stomach, accumulate dampness and generate heat. Therefore, to prevent the occurrence of damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, we must first actively treat the above-mentioned underlying diseases. At the same time, we must change our unhealthy lifestyle, eat in moderation, don't smoke, don't drink, etc., and try not to eat greasy food and seafood.

2: When regulating the spleen and stomach, you should also promote the flow of lung qi. The spleen is responsible for transporting and transforming food and water, and the lungs are responsible for distributing the essence of food and water like fog. The spleen needs the assistance of the lungs to complete the distribution of the essence of food and water, just as it is said in Su Wen·Discussion on the Meridians: "The spleen disperses the essence, which goes up to the lungs, regulates the water channels, and goes down to the bladder." The lungs are responsible for dispersing and descending, while the spleen and stomach are responsible for raising the clear and lowering the turbid, and they both control the rise and fall of Qi. Therefore, when treating the spleen, one must not forget to regulate the lungs, and when treating the lungs, one must first investigate the spleen. Clinical medications should include those that strengthen the spleen and harmonize the stomach, as well as those that promote lung function and relieve depression, such as apricot kernel, trichosanthes, and ephedra. Ye Tianshi used almonds in his "Clinical Guide to Medical Cases" to clear the lungs and relieve depression, so that dampness could be transported away, thus opening the precedent for clearing the lungs, promoting diuresis and strengthening the spleen.

Treatment and prevention methods: The treatment of damp-heat in the spleen and stomach is closely related to daily diet, so friends with damp-heat in the spleen and stomach must pay more attention to their eating habits, so as to better regulate their damp-heat constitution.
