Pathogenesis
Ge Hua Jie Cheng Tang is formulated to treat spleen damage caused by excessive alcohol consumption. This pattern is characterized by damage to the middle jiao by alcohol accumulation that creates dampness and impairs the spleen and stomach. Alcohol has a hot, drastic nature, therefore, the dampness generates into damp-heat that easily disturbs the upper jiao and accumulates in the middle. There it impairs the ascending and descending functions of the spleen and stomach resulting in vomiting and diarrhea. Impaired spleen transformation and transportation may result in an aversion to food and tiredness. Qi stagnation due to dampness blockage results in fullness and oppression of chest and diaphragm, dysuria, greasy tongue coating and a slippery pulse. The damp-heat in this pattern may also be referred to as alcohol-dampness. Alcohol-dampness is an invisible damp pathogen; therefore, the therapeutic methods necessary to remedy the pattern are:
