Question
What does the diagnosis of “Spleen Dampness and Turbidity” in Traditional Chinese Medicine refer to?
Answer
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, “Spleen Dampness and Turbidity” refers to the pathological condition where dampness and heat accumulate in the spleen, leading to spleen deficiency. This condition is commonly seen in children, primarily manifested as abdominal distension, lack of vitality, feverish sensation, heavy limbs, loose stools, and a yellowish greasy tongue coating. The cause may be related to children consuming too much oily and rich food. During the hot summer months, it is recommended to provide children with light and easily digestible diets, as their digestive functions are not yet fully matured.
