Spleen and kidney yang deficiency causes failure in decomposition, therefore water and grain wandered together in large intestine that resulted in morning diarrhea with undigested food for several times a day. Spleen qi insufficient causes dysfunction in transportation and transformation of grain qi, fatherly leads to deficiency of defense qi, nutrient qi and ancestral qi, so patient felt fatigue, short of strength and laconic speech.
Due to insecurity of defensive yang, weakened in warming body, nutrient-defense disharmony, and somehow three of yang meet in the neck, therefore, the patient had profuse sweating but aversion to wind and cold, especially in the neck. Yang could not get into yin, makes vacuity interior and yang externally oversteps or upward perversion, resulting in recurrent mouth ulcer and poor sleep. Deficiency of essence and blood causes low back pain, fatigue and weak pulse.
