The symptoms of spleen deficiency and internal heat should not be underestimated!

When the spleen fails, the whole body becomes limp and weak, and the patient cannot explain clearly, so it is often mistaken for appendicitis. The severity of splenic failure is greater than that of heart failure. The disease progresses covertly with slight changes. Because it cannot be detected, it is often ignored by people. So what are the symptoms of spleen deficiency and internal heat?

[Spleen deficiency and dampness] refers to the pathology of spleen deficiency and internal dampness blockage. The spleen is responsible for transporting and transforming water and dampness, and circulates body fluids for the stomach. If the spleen is weak, its transport and transformation functions are impaired, causing stagnation of water and dampness. The stagnation of water and dampness, in turn, hinders the spleen's transport and transformation.
