human body system-jing luo (11)

This is the theory of Chinese medical theory. It is different from the modern medicine wherein if the complaint is about stomach then the doctor will prescribe medicine for stomachache without bothering whether this sickness is caused by other organs in our body or whether the energy ie positive and negative energy are in fact imbalanced. Chinese medical practitioner also believed that changes in weather can also bring about some sickness which are latent in our body. If the sickness surfaces in Spring then it is also probable that it may be related to liver because Spring is considered as Wood. Sickness surfaces in Summer may be related to heart because Summer is considered as Fire. If sickness surfaces in Mid Summer then it may be related to pancreas as Mid Summer is considered as Earth. If sickness surfaces in Autumn then it may be related to lung as Autumn is considered as Metal. If sickness surfaces in Winter then it may be related to kidney because Winter is considered as Water. Chinese medical practitioner also believed that a person's mood can also affect the well being of our organs. If one person is always angry then he will hurt his liver, if he is always too happy then it will hurt his heart, if he is always thinking too much then it will hurt his spleen, if he is always in sad mood then it will hurt his lung, if he is always afraid or being frightened then he will hurt his kidney. Thus if a person is hot temper, impatient then it is likely that his liver will give him problems. If a person always confines problems to himself without releasing them out then his stomach will likely give him problems. If a person always too happy then his heart may have problem. It is the saying that kidney's meridian begins at year and kidney governs bone. Liver's meridian begins at eyes and liver governs tendons. Lung's meridian begins at nose and lung governs skin and hairs. Spleen's meridian begins at lips and spleen governs muscle. Tongue is the bud of the heart and heart governs blood vessels.
