Spleen deficiency with excessive dampness can be improved under a doctor's guidance by taking traditional Chinese patent medicines such as Shenling Baizhu Pills, Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, and Simiao Pills. Additionally, incorporating foods that help eliminate dampness and strengthen the spleen—such as red beans, coix seed (yi mi), and Chinese yam—into the diet is beneficial. In cases of severe spleen deficiency with heavy dampness, acupuncture may also be used for regulation and treatment.
