Solution

The syndrome of this prescription is caused by spleen deficiency and excessive dampness. The spleen and stomach are weak and have poor absorption and transport, so food cannot be digested; water and grain cannot be digested, and the clear and turbid cannot be distinguished, so there is intestinal rumbling and diarrhea; dampness stagnates in the middle burner, and the Qi flow is blocked, resulting in chest and abdominal distension; if the spleen fails to function properly, the production of Qi and blood will be insufficient; the limbs and skin are not nourished, so the limbs are weak, the body is emaciated, and the complexion is sallow; the tongue is pale, the tongue coating is white and greasy, and the pulse is weak and slow, all of which are signs of spleen deficiency and dampness. The treatment should be to nourish the spleen and stomach, and to dissipate dampness and stop diarrhea. In the formula, ginseng, white atractylodes and poria are the main ingredients for invigorating qi, strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness. The combination of yam and lotus seed meat can assist the main medicine to strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, and can also stop diarrhea; and white hyacinth bean and coix seed can assist Atractylodes macrocephala and Poria cocos to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, both of which are assistant medicines. Amomum villosum is also used to invigorate the spleen and stomach, promote qi circulation and eliminate stagnation, and is an adjuvant medicine. Platycodon grandiflorum can clear the lungs and promote qi, regulate the water channels, and can also carry medicine upward to nourish the soil and produce metal; fried licorice can strengthen the spleen and harmonize the stomach, and harmonize various medicines, all of which serve as adjuvants. Looking at the whole prescription, it can replenish the middle Qi, drain dampness and turbidity, promote the flow of stagnant Qi, strengthen the spleen function, remove dampness, and all symptoms will disappear.
