Excessive emotional repression and excessive thinking make patients often sigh and feel full. In addition, the stagnation of liver qi also affects the normal function of the spleen and stomach, resulting in:Bloating, diarrheaand other symptoms.

Therefore, the most common types are liver depression and spleen deficiency, heart and spleen deficiency, heart and lung yin deficiency, liver and kidney yin deficiency, etc.
