Professor WANG Shouchuan’s experiences of eight methods with mainly warming yang to treat chronic diarrhea in children were introduced. The treatment of chronic diarrhea should first identify the constitution of children

and then distinguish between the deficiency and excess

zang-fu viscera. Compared with adults

children are often characterized as spleen and kidneys’ deficiency

and the liver hyperactivity. Intake of cold dishes is easy to hurt spleen yang. In response to this

warming yang for activating spleen should be the main treatment for diarrhea in children. Meanwhile

eight methods of warming and boosting spleen yang

invigorating spleen qi

eliminating dampness for activating spleen

promoting digestion to activate spleen

regulating qi to activate spleen

warmly invigorating kidney yang

invigorating the stomach to nourishing yin

and inhibiting the wood to tonify the earth were flexibly applied. It ascends the stomach qi and descends the spleen qi

and transports the food and drink separately

and then the diarrhea is cured.
