Spleen Chi Deficiency

The Spleen in Chinese Medicine is responsible for much of the digestive process. 

The Spleen works with the Stomach to extract life giving and supporting nutrients from the food that you eat. 

From there it then sends what what fluids and essences it has refined to the Lungs for further process and nurturing. 

The Spleen is responsible for the creation of the Qi that is required to sustain ones daily energy, along with blood and holding your internal organs in place. 

When the Spleen is weakened by improper food, excess intellectual stress, excessive worry or other factors, all of these processes will become inefficient and create disharmony.
