| | Since the spleen governs the flesh layer, all disorders such as a heavy and sore body, slow healing wounds, bed sores, emaciated arms and legs, the weak extremities of the chronically bed-ridden patient, and certain types of paralysis are results of spleen injury. | | | As a general rule, spleen disorders are usually of a deficient nature, requiring the tonification of central qi and the stimulation of the ascending movement of clear yang qi. | | | SPLEEN YANG DEFICIENCY (pi yang xu): primary symptoms are spleen qi deficiency symptoms with an emphasis on cold signs, such as abdominal pain that improves with the application of heat and pressure; cold extremities; poor appetite; abdominal bloating; loose or unformed stools. |
