Traditional Chinese medicine divides the important internal organs of the human body into two categories: viscera and fu organs. Viscera, including five organs (five internal organs) of heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney, mainly refers to some organs with abundant internal tissues in the chest and abdomen, and their * * * same function is to store essence.

Essence refers to an indispensable nutrient that can nourish viscera and maintain life activities. Fu organs, including gallbladder, stomach, large intestine, small intestine, bladder and triple energizer (six fu organs), mostly refer to some hollow organs in the chest and abdomen, which have the functions of digesting food, absorbing nutrients and excreting dregs.

Heart can control blood vessels, so it is related to blood deficiency and blood stagnation, just like liver. The heart dominates the air, so when the heart is sick, it is easy to forget and lose sleep, resulting in mental disorders.

2. Liver

Liver disease will have the phenomenon of blood deficiency and blood stagnation. Similarly, blood deficiency and blood stagnation will also cause the attack of liver disease. With a strong liver, it is not easy to get sick. On the other hand, if the liver is weak, it is easy to get sick, weak body, easy to catch a cold, sore throat, swollen lymph glands, etc., all caused by abnormal liver function.

3. Spleen

The spleen absorbs the nutrition of food and decomposes it into easily absorbed nutrients, which are transported to various organs of the whole body. Because the spleen is abnormal, it often makes the digestive ability decline, resulting in malnutrition and emaciation. When the function of the spleen declines, it will cause the phenomenon of blood deficiency and easy bleeding.

4. Lung

Air enters the human body through the respiration of the lungs, supplying the needed oxygen. Lung abnormalities include asthma, cough and other respiratory diseases. If the lungs are infected with diseases, the lungs will be swollen and the skin will gradually dry up.

All the water in the body is under the control of the kidney. Edema, stagnation, diabetes insipidus and frequent urination are all caused by kidney deficiency.

6. bravery

When the stomach, intestine and other organs perform digestive work and when to stop, these are determined by the gallbladder. The most obvious example is sleep, which requires considerable "determination" to put all organs into a state of rest, so people with gallbladder deficiency often suffer from insomnia.

7. Stomach

The stomach can digest food into easily absorbed nutrients. Loss of appetite, indigestion, nausea and vomiting are all symptoms of stomach trouble.

8. Small intestine

When the small intestine ingests the nutrients of food, it divides them into three types: water, gas and blood, and then inputs them into the required organs. Dyspepsia, diarrhea and constipation are all diseases of the small intestine.

The large intestine bears the residue absorbed by various organs and then excretes it. Constipation and diarrhea are diseases of the large intestine. Inflammation of the large intestine can make the anus red and swollen, and even cause hemorrhoids, leading to anal bleeding.

10, bladder

The bladder collects the water in the body, then sends it to all the needed parts, and then excretes the excess water. The symptoms of cystitis are edema and frequent urination.
