2. Dry mouth and bitter mouth, thirst from time to time, but do not drink much or sweet mouth, saliva viscous,, eating sweets, acidic water, nausea, heavy body and limb fatigue, body fatigue, fatigue, feeling heavy.

3. Yellow-colored urine, loose stools, loose stools, laboriousness. Red tongue with thick, astringent coating. Yellowish tongue coating, slippery pulse.

Singed with a dull, yellowish face, dull complexion and no energy. You don't seem to have much energy and are depressed. There are many reasons for the formation of dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach. The main reason is that the state of the stomach function plays a decisive role, the spleen and stomach are weak, and they cannot digest and transport the grains and liquids properly, so the water becomes wet, and the grains become stagnant.

Its etiology is therefore threefold:

1. Feeling external evil Because of the physiological characteristics of the spleen and stomach, dampness and dryness are easy to invade the spleen and stomach. As Xue Sheng Bai said: "Sun internal injury, wet drink stop gathering, guest evil again, internal and external attraction, so the disease of dampness and heat." At the same time, the external evil offending lungs, chest tightness and cough, and can injure the weak spleen and stomach, resulting in dampness from the internal birth of the depression and the formation of heat, the formation of dampness-heat.

2. Poor diet Uncontrolled diet is the most common cause of injury to the spleen and stomach. "If you eat and drink too much, your spleen and stomach will be injured." Alcoholism, oversatiety, overeating fat, sweet and thick flavors and unclean diet, unregulated diet are easy to hurt the spleen and stomach, causing food stagnation, dampness, stagnation of qi, etc., and food stagnation, dampness, stagnation of qi can be transformed into heat in the long run. Alcohol itself is "gas heat and quality wet", gas stagnation is also an important factor in the stagnation of water and dampness, fat, sweet and thick flavors are very wet and hot properties, it can be seen that a number of dietary irregularities can be the cause of the formation of dampness and heat of the spleen and stomach certificate, the stomach is like to moisten the evil dryness, but the formation of dampness and heat of the spleen and stomach and the stomach also has a direct relationship. Food is first taken in by the stomach, and clinical symptoms such as stomach and epigastric plumpness, dullness, nausea, etc. are often seen first. Spleen and stomach are common for the middle earth, physiological coordination and cooperation, common completion of the function, pathology, each other, so the relationship between damp-heat evidence and the stomach is inseparable, so it is called the spleen and stomach damp-heat evidence.

3. Emotional factors "spleen in the will for thought", "thinking is gas knot". Zhang Jingyue once said: "but bitter thoughts are difficult to release the spleen". Excessive thinking, worry, boredom, melancholy, emotional upset, not pass, emotional upset, will affect the liver's excretion function, the liver's normal excretion of the spleen is the spleen to rise and stomach to coordinate the important conditions of the spleen qi healthy transportation, that is, "earth and wood and reach". If the liver is not able to regulate the qi, the spleen will not be able to raise and lower the stomach, the spleen will not be able to transport dampness, and dampness will turn into heat, and dampness and heat will be formed. The above causes will cause different spleen and stomach symptoms in different individuals, which is determined by the different physical qualities of individuals, different functional traits of the spleen and stomach, and different forms of response to the causes of disease. The influencing factors are different, and the treatment methods are also different, so-called, the sources are different.
