Including many children who have spleen deficiency since childhood, such as yellow complexion, light eating without growing meat, poor physique, easy to get sick, abnormal stool for a long time and so on. In short, children's growth problems are mostly related to the spleen and stomach, so when adjusting children's physique, we also need to focus on the spleen and stomach.
Chinese medicine believes that people with sufficient healthy qi can resist the invasion of evil spirits. Deficiency of vital qi, decreased resistance, and pathogenic factors take advantage of it to destroy the body, and diseases follow, and maintaining the spleen and stomach is the foundation of nourishing vital qi.
Shen Si Decoction: A Therapeutic Prescription for Strengthening Spleen and Eliminating Dampness
This is a famous recipe for invigorating spleen and eliminating dampness in traditional Chinese medicine, in which the "four gods" refer to: Coix seed (Euryale ferox), lotus seed, yam and poria cocos.

Ganlong went south many times, but he was safe. Qianlong ordered the magistrate to make a list of famous doctors.
Suddenly one day, a monk with medicine unveiled the list. I looked at it, smelled it, asked, cut it, and muttered, "Four ministers, it's done. These four herbs are soup (the pronunciation of "Shen" and "Chen" in Taiwan Province Province and Minnan dialect is the same), and drinking them will ensure safety. " After that, he took out a piece of paper and a pen from the side pocket and wrote: "Yam Euryale seeds, lotus seeds and Poria cocos braised pork belly." Surprisingly, the four ministers were full of energy and healthy after eating nourishing soup.
