2. Causes

The main cause of spleen and stomach deficiency and coldness is bad eating habits, such as eating without restraint, often eating cold drinks or cold food, etc., coupled with a fast pace of life and high mental stress, which are more likely to lead to stomach problems. Spleen and stomach deficiency and coldness can also develop from spleen and stomach qi deficiency. "Ji Sheng Fang·Discussion on Treatment of Spleen and Stomach Deficiency and Cold": "The spleen is the meridian of the foot Taiyin, located in the center, belongs to the Wu Ji earth, governs the Zhongzhou, monitors the body muscles, and is the exterior and interior of the stomach meridian of the foot Yangming. The exterior and interior are mild, and water and grain are easy to be decomposed, transport and transform the essence, and irrigate the meridians. If the diet is not moderate, or if it is damaged by raw and cold, or if there is excessive thinking, the Chonghe is not distributed, and the cold and heat are seen because of its deficiency and excess. When it is deficient, deficiency will produce cold, and cold will cause the limbs to be unable to move, the appetite will not be digested, and there will be belching and acid swallowing, or vomiting after eating, or sudden inability to eat, abdominal pain and intestinal rumbling, occasional loose diarrhea, heavy limbs, excessive thinking, not wanting to hear people's voices, dreaming of insufficient food, and deep, thin and weak pulses, all of which are signs of deficiency and cold." To sum up the above reasons, the spleen and stomach yang qi deficiency and decline, yin and cold are strong inside, forming spleen and stomach deficiency and cold syndrome mainly due to the following two aspects: one is the development of spleen and stomach qi deficiency; the other is due to excessive eating of raw and cold food, which damages spleen yang and stomach yang.

3. For the syndrome of spleen and stomach deficiency and coldness, the key points of diagnosis are spleen dysfunction and cold symptoms. When spleen yang is deficient and transportation and transformation are impaired, there will be abdominal distension and poor appetite. When yang is deficient and yin is excessive, coldness arises from the body, and the coldness stagnates the qi, so abdominal pain is relieved by warmth and pressure. When yin and cold qi are excessive inside the body, water cannot be transformed, the mouth overflows with clear water, the stool is loose, and in severe cases, food cannot be digested, urination is difficult, and there is edema. Women with clear and watery vaginal discharge and a sore and heavy feeling in the waist and abdomen are experiencing the invasion of cold and dampness.
