Dr. Zhang Hongxia
A dull or sallow complexion may result from spleen deficiency or, alternatively, from impaired liver and kidney function. For an accurate diagnosis, it is advisable to visit a hospital for comprehensive testing; subsequent treatment should be tailored according to the test results. If spleen deficiency is confirmed, Shen Ling Bai Zhu Wan may be prescribed orally under a physician’s guidance. In cases of liver and kidney dysfunction, hepatoprotective and nephroprotective medications should be administered strictly as directed by a healthcare provider.
