Traditional Chinese Medicine's Spleen Strengthening and Intestinal Microecology

Abstract

The "spleen" in traditional Chinese medicine is the "acquired foundation" and the "source of qi and blood biochemistry". Strengthening the "spleen" is one of the important treatment methods in traditional Chinese medicine; The gut microbiota has been a hot topic in modern scientific research in recent years, and its nutritional and immune functions correspond to some of the functions of the spleen in traditional Chinese medicine. In terms of philosophy, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the balance between the spleen and the gut microbiota, emphasizing the importance of supporting the right and eliminating evil, preventing diseases before they occur, seeking the root cause of treatment, and adapting measures to the three causes; Clinically, the treatment of obesity, constipation, diarrhea and other diseases by invigorating the spleen and the treatment mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion, chiropractic and invigorating the spleen are all related to microecology. This article combines relevant literature on traditional Chinese medicine's "spleen" and "spleen health" to explore the treatment concept, clinical application, and correlation with intestinal microbiota of traditional Chinese medicine's "spleen health". It also elaborates on the latest literature, aiming to exchange ideas with peers and promote research on the microbiota of traditional Chinese medicine's "spleen".
