I've been putting off writing this article for a long time, mostly because it's such a currently controversial topic. But I've done quite a bit of research and contemplating on the subject and feel as though it would be beneficial to put my ideas down on paper to better understand it myself, and hopefully educate a few others. This is also my official warning that this article is entirely opinion based. The facts that I state are true, but in the end, the bias undeniably comes from my personal opinion.
So maybe you've noticed your neck is a little more stiff than usual, there is a slight pounding at the back of your head, you feel like you could sleep forever, or you've begun to feel a slight tickle in the back of your throat.

But have no fear! This is where Traditional Chinese Medicine comes in.
Chronic fatigue or bruise easily? Bloating and indigestion? Overthinking and craving sweets? If you said yes to any of these horribly common ailments, then you might have what we, Chinese medicine geeks, like to call Spleen Qi Deficiency.
