The Spleen is a very important organ in Chinese medicine. A lot of people think of the Spleen the way it is seen in Western medicine, which is as part of the immune system, responsible for the production of white blood cells (lymphocytes) as well as the removal of 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.
