Jaundice, a disease name in traditional Chinese medicine, is mainly characterized by yellow eyes, yellow body, and yellow urine. It is often caused by pathological factors such as damp heat, cold dampness, and blood stasis. If jaundice persists for a long time, it is necessary to consider treating it from the spleen. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is responsible for the circulation and transformation, which is the foundation of the acquired body. If the spleen is deficient, it will lead to dereliction of function in circulation and transformation. Dampness and evil are endogenous, and depression will transform into heat. The combination of dampness and heat can lead to jaundice. At this point, treatment should focus on tonifying the spleen, restoring its transportation and chemical function, and resolving jaundice.
黄疸，中医之病名，以目黄、身黄、小便黄为主症，多因湿热、寒湿、瘀血等病理因素所致。若黄疸久不愈，则需考虑从脾论治。中医认为，脾主运化，为后天之本，若脾虚则运化失职，湿邪内生，郁而化热，湿热相合，形成黄疸。此时，治疗应注重补脾，恢复脾的运化功能，得以化解，黄疸得以消退。
