Imbalance of Qi/ Meridian Flow
1) Describe your 2 paired meridians.
In Chinese Medicine, the spleen (Yin) and the stomach (Yang) form paired meridians. The stomach digests food and fluids, energizing the entire body. Not only does it do digestion but it also extracts energy from fluids and feeds, coordinating with the spleen to distribute it to other body organs, for example, the lungs. As a digestive organ, the spleen houses white blood cells, fighting diseases, transforms red blood cells and holds blood. According to Chinese Medicine all of these functions show that the spleen transports fluids and converts food into blood and Qi. Any dysfunction in the stomach and the spleen results in an imbalance in other organs, affecting normal body functions, leading to appetite disorders and prolapse.
