                                According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the spleen is the central organ of digestion, and a healthy 'digestive fire' is crucial for processing food efficiently. When faced with diarrhea, many Chinese people turn to food therapy, prioritizing warm, easily digestible, and restorative foods to soothe the gut, rebalance the body, and restore health.
