Accordingly, it is believed that spleen dysfunction is the core pathogenesis of childhood simple obesity, and it is elaborated from the aspects of weak spleen qi, weak propulsion; phlegm-dampness accumulation, and water-liquid internal stagnation. The integrated treatment mode of “one medicine, two pressure and three activities” is proposed to treat childhood simple obesity, to explore the development of this disease and the dialectical treatment idea, and to provide theoretical basis for the clinic.
