THE SPLEEN – EMOTIONS

Chinese medicine is not just a medical system developed over thousands of years; it teaches the art of living a healthy, balanced life. Important aspects of this lifestyle include living in harmony with the natural world, adapting lifestyle habits to the changing seasons, and striving for balance between emotions, work, leisure activities, and physical, mental, and spiritual pursuits.

The Spleen is a very important organ in Chinese Medicine. Many people view the Spleen in the same way it is perceived in Western medicine, which is as part of the immune system, responsible for producing white blood cells (lymphocytes) and removing old red blood cells. The Spleen (a Yin organ) in Chinese Medicine is paired with the Stomach (a Yang organ), and both are the main organs of digestion for the body. The difference is that they not only digest food and drink, they are also responsible for processing stimuli and information – everything that comes into the body through our sense organs. This makes this pair of organs very important indeed.
