Functions of the Spleen and Stomach in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
In TCM theory, the spleen and stomach are regarded as the "Root of the Post-Heaven" and the "Source of Qi and Blood Production," forming the foundation of human vitality. Their functions extend beyond digestion and absorption, encompassing immunity, metabolism, fluid balance, and the circulation of qi and blood. Below is a detailed analysis of their core roles in TCM:
I. Physiological Functions of the Spleen and Stomach**
1. Spleen Governs Transportation and Transformation
- Transporting and Transforming Nutrients
The spleen converts food and fluids into qi, blood, and body fluids, distributing them to nourish organs, tissues, and limbs.
Pathological Manifestations: Spleen deficiency may lead to poor appetite, bloating, loose stools, fatigue, sallow complexion, or edema due to impaired nutrient absorption.
- Regulating Water-Dampness Metabolism
The spleen maintains water balance, preventing pathological fluid retention. Dysfunction can result in dampness accumulation, manifesting as edema, phlegm (e.g., excessive mucus), diarrhea, or heavy sensations in the body.
2. Spleen Governs Ascending Clear Qi
- The spleen lifts refined nutrients to the heart and lungs to produce qi and blood, while also supporting organ positioning (e.g., preventing prolapse).
Pathological Manifestations: Spleen qi sinking may cause dizziness, organ prolapse (e.g., gastroparesis), or chronic diarrhea.
3. Spleen Governs Blood Containment
- The spleen’s qi secures blood within vessels, preventing abnormal bleeding (e.g., bruising, menorrhagia, bloody stools).
Pathological Manifestations: Spleen failing to control blood may lead to chronic bleeding disorders.
4. Stomach Governs Reception and Decomposition
- The stomach receives and breaks down food into chyme, which is then sent to the small intestine.
Pathological Manifestations: Impaired stomach qi descent causes belching, nausea, or bloating; stomach yin deficiency leads to dry mouth, heartburn, or constipation.
5. Spleen-Stomach as the Pivot of Qi Movement
- Spleen lifts clear qi; Stomach descends turbid qi: Their synergy ensures smooth digestion and metabolism.
Pathological Manifestations: Imbalance may cause dizziness (from deficient clear qi) or constipation (from stagnant turbid qi).
II. Interactions with Other Organs
1. Liver-Spleen Harmony
- The liver’s free-flowing qi aids spleen-stomach function. Liver qi stagnation may disrupt digestion, causing "liver-stomach disharmony" (e.g., epigastric pain, acid reflux).
2. Spleen-Lung Relationship
- The spleen (earth) nourishes the lung (metal). Spleen deficiency weakens lung qi, leading to shortness of breath, frequent colds, or phlegm.
3. Spleen-Kidney Interdependence
- The spleen (post-heaven) and kidneys (pre-heaven) mutually support vitality. Chronic spleen deficiency may deplete kidney yang, causing dawn diarrhea and cold intolerance.
Conclusion
The spleen and stomach determine nutrient absorption, immunity, and metabolic balance in TCM. "A strong spleen in all seasons prevents disease" underscores their role in health preservation.
