Are massage and acupuncture useful for people with spleen deficiency?

If there are symptoms such as abdominal distension, dyspepsia, constipation or diarrhea caused by spleen deficiency, acupuncture, especially warm acupuncture and simple moxibustion, especially the latter, should be combined with slow and gentle massage under the guidance of tonic methods. The effect is still quite positive.

This collocation is mainly used for children with spleen and stomach diseases in TCM clinics. Because their condition is relatively simple and they resist taking medicine, the effect is very good. However, as you said, the effect of spleen deficiency in adults is definitely there, but it needs to be implemented on the basis of clear diagnosis and drugs, and the effect can be clear.
