Thus it can be seen from the aforesaid that there are 14 main meridians in our body as far as the Chinese medical theory is concerned. Every solid organ (Zang) is related to another hollow organ (Fu). Thus heart is correlated to small intestine, liver is correlated to gallbladder, spleen is correlated to stomach, lung is correlated to large intestine, kidney is correlated to bladder, san jiao is correlated to Xin Bao Jin. Thus according to Chinese practitioner, if there is some problem with lungs then it may be correlated to large intestine or sickness may be originated from large intestine.

Chinese practitioner's view is that negative energy or cold energy may enter the large intestine thereby tipping the balance of positive and negative energy in our system which reflected to the lungs.
