Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is one of the most important organs of the human body, located in the middle of the body, which is the source of qi and blood biochemistry. The spleen belongs to the earth in the five elements, likes dryness and hates wetness, and is an important organ for the human body to digest and absorb food.
The main physiological functions of the spleen are the main transport, the main shengqing, and the main blood.
1.Main transport: The spleen can transport the subtleties of the water valley, that is, digest and absorb food, and convert it into nutrients needed by the human body, which can be distributed throughout the body to maintain the normal life activities of the human body.
2.The spleen can transport nutrients such as water valley subtleties upwards to the heart, lungs and other organs to maintain the normal physiological functions of the human body.
3.Dominant blood: The spleen can control blood and maintain the normal operation of blood. If the spleen function is abnormal, it will cause the blood to flow abnormally, and symptoms such as bleeding and bruising will appear.
In addition, the spleen is also associated with limbs and muscles, and has the role of regulating the function of the limbs. If the spleen is not functioning properly, it can lead to symptoms such as weakness in the limbs and muscle atrophy. At the same time, the spleen is also related to emotions and has the role of regulating emotions.
In short, TCM has a very comprehensive understanding of the spleen, believing that the spleen is one of the important organs of the human body, which has physiological functions such as transport, purification, and blood integration. Maintaining a healthy spleen is essential for human health.
