Bloating and poor digestion often point to a spleen–stomach imbalance in TCM, where weakened digestive energy affects the whole body.
🌿 How TCM Understands the Digestive System
In TCM theory, the spleen governs transformation and transportation, while the stomach governs receiving and digestion.
The stomach receives and breaks down food, like the body’s kitchen.
The spleen transforms nutrients and distributes energy throughout the body, like the body’s delivery system.
When the spleen and stomach become weak, the body’s ability to generate energy and circulate nutrients declines, leading to fatigue and a weakened metabolism.
⚠️ Signs of a Weakened Spleen and Stomach
When digestive function is imbalanced, common symptoms include:
- Feeling bloated even after small meals
- Poor appetite or indigestion
- Fatigue, lack of energy
- Pale or yellowish complexion
- Cold hands and feet, fluid retention
Spleen qi deficiency in TCM causes low energy, weak digestion, and visible signs like tiredness and dull skin.

Dr’s Advice
“Your spleen and stomach are like the body’s engine.
When they weaken, everything else slows down , such as: energy, mood, even your skin.
The best way to restore vitality is to start by strengthening your digestion.”
