Abstract:
The human gastrointestinal tract is the largest reservoir of bacteria in the body,inhabiting a very complex and active microbial community.Under normal circumstances,the interaction between the intestinal flora and the host maintains a dynamic balance.Spleen deficiency syndrome is a common classic syndrome type in TCM clinical practice.A large number of studies have shown that spleen deficiency syndrome is closely related to intestinal microorganisms,and the balance of intestinal flora is the basis for the normal functioning of the spleen's main transportation and transformation functions.Intestinal flora imbalance can lead to a series of manifestations of spleen deficiency.In addition,intestinal flora is an important medium for the metabolism of polysaccharide components and the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine for invigorating the spleen,and traditional Chinese medicine for invigorating the spleen can also play a therapeutic role by regulating the structure and quantity of intestinal flora.This article summarizes the relationship between intestinal flora and spleen deficiency syndrome in physiology,pathology,and the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine for invigorating the spleen.Based on intestinal flora,the study of spleen deficiency syndrome aims to provide some thoughts and suggestions for revealing the connotation of spleen deficiency syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine.
