There is a tradition in Chinese medicine called Bu Tu Pai – the Tonify Earth System, from which the Earth school - the School of Spleen and Stomach - was developed. It was founded during the Jin-Yuan dynasty by the great Li Gao who also wrote the masterpiece Pi Wei Lun - Treatise of the Spleen and Stomach. The main idea of this school is that all illnesses originate from imbalanced/damaged Spleen/Stomach and chronic diseases should be treated by attending most and foremost to the digestion.
