One of the most common diagnoses in my practice is Spleen qi deficiency. In Chinese medicine, the Spleen plays an important role in the delivery of nutrients to the body, the production of blood, and the transportation and transformation of fluids in the body. The Spleen is easily over burdened by irregular eating habits, consumption of liquids with meals, cold and raw foods, over thinking/worry and excessive mental activity. It is no surprise that in our society Spleen deficiency is common.
You can help to supplement the energy of the Spleen by eating more cooked food, chewing your food well, drinking beverages between meals, practicing meditation, breath-work and yoga.
