Tongue: Pale, puffy, teeth marks, thin white coating. Pulse: Weak, Deep, especially at the right middle (Spleen) position.
Treatment principle: Tonify Spleen-Qi and raise sinking Qi, restoring the bladder's support from above rather than strengthening it directly.
Note: moxa applicable. Direct match with
Spleen-Qi sinking — \"frequency and urgency of urination\" and a bearing-down sensation are named diagnostic symptoms there too. This source names four other overlapping patterns (Kidney-Qi not Firm, Bladder Deficient and Cold, Damp-Heat in the Bladder, Spleen and Lung Qi Deficiency — all already covered on the
Overactive Bladder page) but identifies Spleen-Qi Sinking specifically as the mechanism behind classic stress-triggered leakage, so this page covers that one pattern rather than padding with the others.
