Eating with family and friends during the holidays is inevitable. Stuffing oneself is a choice. Even though I try to make a commitment before the weekend that I won&#8217;t overeat, somehow I always forget&#8211;and so do my patients!\n\nPlan on seeing a lot of patients who are coming in through the end of the year with excess in the Spleen channel. From a TCM perspective, if the Spleen channel is naturally deficient, and the patient is showing signs of <strong>Spleen Damp<\/strong>, then the graph will look like this.\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/2011\/11\/gobble-til-you-wobble\/screen-shot-2016-11-23-at-11-18-37-am\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18355\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18355 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Screen-Shot-2016-11-23-at-11.18.37-AM-174x300.png\" alt=\"Spleen Damp on the Graph\" width=\"174\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Screen-Shot-2016-11-23-at-11.18.37-AM-174x300.png 174w, https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Screen-Shot-2016-11-23-at-11.18.37-AM.png 428w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 174px) 100vw, 174px\" \/><\/a>\n\n&nbsp;\n<h2>Here&#8217;s what AcuGraph has to say about excess in the Spleen channel:<\/h2>\n<blockquote><strong>Spleen&nbsp;(Excessive)<\/strong>\n<div>The Spleen Meridian works in conjunction with the Stomach Meridian to assimilate energy from food through digestion. The Spleen Meridian also affects the pancreas, blood formation, hormones, and saliva. It nourishes the lips and tongue, and controls the muscles and the four limbs.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>Your Spleen Meridian energy is excessive. Excessive energy in this meridian may be associated with the following symptoms:<\/div>\n<ul>\n \t<li>Bloating, gas, poor appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, colic, distention and pain in the abdomen;<\/li>\n \t<li>Chest congestion, phlegm;<\/li>\n \t<li>Difficult urination, thick vaginal discharge, menstrual disorders, genital disorders;<\/li>\n \t<li>Heaviness in the body, weakness of the muscles and limbs;<\/li>\n \t<li>Cramping, pain, swelling or stiffness of the inner leg, genitals, ribs or mid-back.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>Emotions: An imbalance in the Spleen Meridian may be associated with obsessive feelings, over thinking and worry.<\/div><\/blockquote>\n&nbsp;\n<h2>Clinical Tools:<\/h2>\nSometimes treating Spleen excess can be a little more difficult. In my experience, treating one&nbsp;point doesn&#8217;t always work.\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>1. Balance the Graph<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nThe traditional sedation point for the Spleen channel is Spleen 5. Spleen 5 works great but my personal favorite point is Spleen 8. Spleen 8 is the Xi-Cleft point for the channel and I find it works really well for Spleen excess. If your patient has extremely stubborn Spleen excess, then I&#8217;d suggest treating Spleen 6, 7, 8 and 9.\n\nOnce you put the graph into balance, the body will work at its maximum capacity to eliminate the negative symptoms and side effects. Our body has the amazing ability to heal itself. The channels were made to flow freely. My experience has been that if you balance the graph, the channels will again flow freely, and 80% of the symptoms resolve on their own.\n\nExtra points you may want to add after you balance the graph will depend on the symptoms.\n<ul>\n \t<li>To strengthen the Spleen: Spleen 6, Stomach 36, and Conception Vessel 12<\/li>\n \t<li>For constipation: Stomach 25 and Stomach 37<\/li>\n \t<li>For indigestion: Stomach 44<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>2.
