4. Symptom Analysis

The spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation, and its Qi is responsible for ascending. The stomach is responsible for receiving, and harmony and descending are the most normal. Dampness and heat accumulate in the middle burner, causing dysfunction of digestion and transport, and abnormal ascending and descending functions, resulting in abdominal distension, poor appetite, and nausea. The heat is urgent, and dampness is a yin evil that easily blocks the Qi, resulting in loose stools and discomfort. The spleen controls the muscles and limbs. Dampness is heavy, and the spleen is trapped by dampness, which flows into the limbs, causing the limbs to feel heavy. Dampness suppresses heat and causes it to accumulate inside the body, so the body heat does not rise, sweating does not stop, the patient is thirsty and drinks a lot, and the urine is short and yellow. Damp heat accumulates in the spleen and stomach, fumigating the liver and gallbladder, causing dysfunction of the secretion of bile, which cannot flow through the normal channels and overflows through the skin, resulting in bright yellow eyes and itchy skin. A red tongue, yellow and greasy tongue coating, and a weak and rapid pulse are signs of internal accumulation of dampness and heat.
