This prescription explains that the syndrome is caused by spleen and stomach qi deficiency and weak transportation and transformation. The spleen and stomach are the foundation of acquired qi and the source of qi and blood biochemistry. If the spleen and stomach qi are deficient and the reception and transportation are weak, the diet will be reduced; dampness and turbidity are generated internally, so loose stools will be thin; the spleen governs the muscles, and the spleen and stomach qi will be weak, and the muscles of the limbs will have no ability to receive. Therefore, the limbs are weak; the biochemistry of qi and blood is insufficient, and the face is not flushed with blood, and the face is pale and pale; the spleen is the mother of the lungs, and if the spleen and stomach are weak, the lung qi will be extinguished first, so shortness of breath and low voice will be seen; pale tongue with white coating, A weak pulse is a sign of Qi deficiency. As stated in the Medical Prescription Examination: If your face is pale, look at it and you will know that your Qi is deficient; if you speak lightly, you will hear it and you will know that your Qi is deficient; if your limbs are weak, ask about it and you will know that your Qi is deficient; if your pulse is coming, If it is weak, cut it and you will know that its Qi is weak. ?Treatment should be to replenish the Qi of the spleen and stomach to restore its function of transporting, transforming and accepting food. The ginseng in the prescription is sweet and warm, nourishes qi, strengthens the spleen and nourishes the stomach. I use the bitter and warm Atractylodes macrocephala to invigorate the spleen and remove dampness, strengthen the power of replenishing qi and assisting transportation; I use the sweet and light Poria cocos to strengthen the spleen and exude dampness. When combined with the Atractylodes macrocephala, the effect of strengthening the spleen and removing dampness is enhanced. Use roasted licorice to replenish qi and harmonize the central nervous system, and harmonize various medicines. The compatibility of the four medicines can effectively replenish qi and strengthen the spleen.
