Spleen deficiency, I didn't even think my spleen was necessary. Hi, my name is Mark
Brinson, doctor of oriental medicine and physical medicine specialist. When someone in the realm
of Eastern medicine says that you have a spleen deficiency understand that in ancient China
they really weren't talking about the spleen itself. They were almost more talking about
the pancreas or digestive function. It is the functional relationship that they describe
as or use the word spleen for. So a spleen deficiency is characterized by things that
are just a symptom that isn't quite right and trying to achieve that balance within.
So if your spleen is a little deficient, you could have one of a few things going on. You
could either have difficulty gaining weight and lack of appetite if it is on the low side
or if a spleen deficiency is on the high side you could have the excess appetite and you
could gain weight too rapidly or you could be overweight. Both of those are a sign that
you are not quite using the nutrients the way you should when you are taking them in.
If you see a qualified practitioner in Chinese medicine or biology they can help you with
the spleen deficiency and make those problems a thing of the past. My name is Mark Brinson,
doctor of oriental medicine. I hope you have a balanced day.
