Pattern Overview

Spleen-Stomach Weakness is a common pattern in chronic pharyngitis, characterized by reduced pharyngeal mucosal immune function, dry throat, fatigue, poor appetite, and loose stools. The core pathogenesis is Spleen-Stomach deficiency failing to transform and transport, leading to reduced immune function, impaired mucosal barrier, and chronic throat irritation.
