The pathogenesis of it: Yin diffidence causes Yang diffidence, Yang of the kidney can't warm Yang of the spleen, the spleen's functions are transporting nutrients upwards and being responsible for food digestion and fluid transportation, so Yang diffidence of the spleen leads to that the spleen can't transport nutrients upwards and body fluid flows to the large intestine to cause diarrhea. In treatment, Pro.
