Diagnosis and treatment of pediatric diseases based on the theory of spleen yin deficiency
With changes in lifestyle,diet,and medication methods,combined with the physical characteristics of children,it is easy to cause spleen yin deficiency,but this theory has not been given sufficient attention before.In addition,the clinical manifestations of spleen yin deficiency are generally mild,without typical syndrome differen-tiation,and are easily overlooked.Based on the theories of"essence and qi"and"yin yang",the essence and physi-ological function of spleen yin were explored.Spleen yin deficiency can further develop into deficiency of both qi and yin,which can cause systemic diseases such as lung,spleen,and kidney in clinical practice.The treatment mainly follows the principle of Gandan,Pingbu.By listing the diagnosis and treatment experience of pediatric cough,anorex-ia,constipation,night sweats,etc.,it is verified that the treatment of pediatric diseases based on spleen yin deficien-cy aims to seek knowledge from the smallest and treat based on the first signs.
