Abstract: Liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome is a common syndrome type of ulcerative colitis (UC). Based on the theory of 'collaborative treatment of liver and spleen', TCM shows its effect and less adverse reactions in the treatment of UC with liver depression and spleen deficiency. The internal treatment of TCM based on syndrome differentiation and treatment by stages, as well as the external treatment of TCM based on TCM enema therapy, acupuncture therapy and acupoint application therapy, can relieve symptoms, improve relevant clinical indicators and improve the quality of life of patients. The mechanism studies show that the TCM with the effect of soothing the liver and activating the spleen plays a therapeutic role by regulating signal pathway conduction, regulating intestinal flora, and improving the level of inflammatory factors.
