What is Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) focus on unblocking static energy. This eastern philosophy focuses on the human energy or Qi system. Chinese medicine is based on five yin organs and six yang organs, also known as "zang" and "fu" organs. These organs flow along a meridian according to the 24 hour cycle of earth Qi. The five yin organs include the liver, heart, spleen, lungs and kidneys. The function of the yin organs is to produce, transform, regulate and store fundamental substances such as qi, blood, and body fluids. Yin organs do not have empty cavities.
The six yang organs include the gall bladder, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, bladder and triple burner. The yang organs mainly responsible for moving, digesting, secreting, and eliminating toxin from the body. The twelve meridians are named according to their corresponding organs, limb positions and yin and yang properties. They include three arm yin meridians (lung, pericardium, heart), three arm yang meridians (large intestine, triple burner, small intestine), Three leg yang meridians (stomach, gall bladder, bladder), and three leg yin meridians (spleen, liver, kidney). The triple burner and the pericardium do not refer to anatomical structures.
