There is no 'treating the spleen.' There is only treating the qi [energy].
"As long as we shift the relationship between what's blocked...and shift the flow of qi so it's balanced up and down. Strengthen what is weak, weaken what is too strong and reckless, then...it'll get better. But the spleen didn't fix the problem. It was affecting the flow of qi that changed the pattern in the body so the disharmony went back to harmony. We create names to help up grasp something that is really un-graspable. The danger is, we then start treating the name ["spleen"]."
