The five internal organs in traditional Chinese medicine refer to the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, and the six internal organs refer to the gallbladder, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, bladder, and triple burner. The five internal organs mainly store essence, and the six internal organs are responsible for digesting food, absorbing its essence, and eliminating its dross.

1. Heart and small intestine:

The heart is the most important organ among the internal organs, playing a leading and controlling role. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the heart governs the mind and is related to people's thinking and consciousness activities. For example, we often say "think with your heart", which is talking about the role of the heart in people's thinking activities. The heart is the driving force for blood circulation in the human body. Blood is transported to the whole body through the beating of the heart. The rise and fall of heart blood can be reflected by the pulse. The heart governs sweat and opens up to the tongue. Changes in tongue quality can reflect the physiological and pathological changes of the heart. .

The small intestine is located in the abdominal cavity. The food and water grains digested by the stomach enter the small intestine for further digestion, absorbing the nutrients and eliminating the waste. If there is a problem in the small intestine, digestion and absorption dysfunction will occur, and symptoms such as abnormal urination and defecation, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and oliguria, will occur.

The heart and the small intestine belong to each other, the heart belongs to the inside, and the small intestine belongs to the surface. The yang energy of the heart descends in the small intestine, helping the small intestine distinguish the essence and dregs in food. If the heart fire is too strong, it can transfer heat to the small intestine, causing symptoms such as short red urine, burning pain, and blood in the urine. On the contrary, if there is heat in the small intestine, it can also cause excessive heart fire, causing irritability in the heart, flushed face, sores on the mouth and tongue, etc. symptom.

2. Liver and gallbladder: The liver has the functions of regulating certain mental and emotional activities, storing blood and regulating blood volume, and assists the spleen and stomach in digesting food. The liver opens eyes to the eyes, and liver disease often causes various eye diseases.

The gallbladder is attached to the liver, and the bile stored in the gallbladder is secreted by the liver. "It is formed by the residual energy of the liver, overflowing into the gallbladder, and accumulating."

The liver and gallbladder are the exterior and interior of each other. Only when the liver's excretory function is normal can the storage and excretion function of bile be ensured. Only by smooth biliary sweat excretion can the liver exert its laxative properties. The liver and gallbladder influence each other during the disease, so the liver and gallbladder are treated together during treatment.

3. Spleen and stomach: The spleen and stomach are responsible for the digestion, absorption and transmission of nutrients and water in food to meet the needs of various tissues and organs for human life activities. Therefore, there is a saying that "the spleen and stomach are the foundation of tomorrow". In addition, the spleen also has the functions of regulating water, controlling blood, and controlling muscles and limbs. The stomach is mainly for digesting food. The spleen and stomach are both the main organs for digesting food. The meridians of the two are interconnected, forming an external-internal relationship. The stomach governs reception, and the spleen governs transportation and transformation, and together they complete the tasks of digestion, absorption and transportation of nutrients. The stomach controls the descent, so that the water and grains can go down, which is convenient for digestion. The spleen controls the rise, so that the water and grain essence can be transported to the whole body.

4. Lungs and large intestine:

The lungs are connected to the trachea and throat, and open to the nose. The lungs are respiratory organs, and their main function is to control the body's qi. If the lung function is normal, the airways will be unobstructed and breathing will be even and regulated. The lungs control the descent, regulate the water channels, pass down to the bladder, and maintain easy urination
