Jin, an elderly patient with lingering sequelae. His congenital constitution is extremely weak. The malaria contracted in summer and autumn has damaged his health, leading to poor appetite and impaired transportation and transformation. Symptoms include epigastric fullness, abdominal distension, and loose stools. These are all cases of deficiency resulting from disease affecting the Spleen and Stomach. Treatment should involve a light diet to harmonize the middle jiao, employing methods to warm the middle and regulate the spleen.

A certain twenty-year-old patient: Complexion is pale. Pulse [description missing]. The constitution is weak in yang. After entering spring, excessive sweating occurred, leading to mental fatigue and physical weakness. Loose stools are difficult to pass smoothly. All these indicate that Spleen Yang is trapped and exhausted, unable to perform its lifting function, thus failing to stimulate the generative yang qi. For now, harmony of the middle jiao should be prioritized. (Diagnosis: Spleen Yang Deficiency)
