The source of human nutrition comes from diet, and the digestion and absorption of food relies entirely on the function of the spleen and stomach. If the spleen is deficient, the water and grain essence cannot be transported and transformed, and the five organs, six viscera, and limbs cannot be nourished, resulting in a series of spleen deficiency symptoms such as pale complexion, mental fatigue, physical weakness, and decreased appetite. Let me introduce you a traditional Chinese medicine recipe for tonifying the liver and spleen.

Finally, I would like to add four things that are most taboo for nourishing the spleen.
First, avoid inconsistency in nourishing the spleen. Nourishing the spleen is not just a matter for autumn and winter, but should be done every day like eating and drinking.
Second, avoid coldness. To nourish the spleen, you should not drink too many beverages, especially cold ones. Whether it is a cold beverage or fruits, they should not be consumed, as excessive coldness can harm the spleen.
Third, avoid sweetness. We advocate sweetness to tonify the spleen, but excessive sweetness can harm the spleen. Sweetness should be balanced.
Fourth, avoid overeating. Overeating can easily damage the spleen and stomach, so you should eat everything in moderation.
