Spleen meridian

Full name "Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian". Spleen governs transport and transformation. Transport is to help the gastrointestinal tract absorb and digest the absorbed food, and then discharge the dirty things. Drain the dregs into the large intestine, absorb the substances with subtle nutrition, and transport them to the blood and all parts of the body. It can be seen that the transport function of spleen meridian is poor, which is very unfavorable to human health. Some people are often dizzy, that is, the blood does not end; Often cold hands and feet, that is, qi and blood are not enough; Often hand numbness, that is, blood can't reach the limbs.
