I went to see a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) doctor who told me I have spleen deficiency with excessive dampness. The doctor prescribed some herbal medicine for me. I'd like to ask, how long does it usually take to recover from spleen deficiency with excessive dampness?

Spleen deficiency with dampness accumulation generally requires a relatively long adjustment period, typically 2 to 3 months, although this may vary depending on the severity of symptoms and the appropriateness of the treatment approach. In some cases, improvement may be seen in as little as one week, while in others it may commonly take up to six months or even a year. It's also important to develop good lifestyle and dietary habits—avoid spicy, greasy, irritating, cold, or hard foods, engage in appropriate physical exercise, and enhance your body's resistance, all of which help regulate spleen function and reduce dampness.
