Chinese organ
theory
Chinese “organ theory” describes the body as an integrated,
functional unit based on the production, circulation and
utilization of Qi, in all its manifestations. According to the
Chinese organ theory, there are five primary “organs,” each
related to one of the five elemental energies. These
“organs” are really, by our modern standards, major
functional systems. There is more emphasis in the traditional
Chinese health system on the functional relationships of the
organs than there is in general in Western medicine. The organs,
as defined in the Chinese healthcare system, are not just the
specific organs as we know them, but include whole systems of
related functions, tissues, structures, emotions and responses
to the environment.
The five primary organ systems: Kidneys, Liver, Heart, Spleen
and Lungs. These are all Yin organs. There is two additional Yin
organs: the Pericardium (sometimes called Circulation-Sex) and
the Brain. There are six Yang organs: Bladder, Gall Bladder,
Small Intestine, Stomach, Large Intestine and the Triple Warmer
(Metabolism).
