Blockage of the triple energizer is the root cause of various chronic diseases

Sanjiao is a unique name in the theory of Zang-Xiang. The triple burner is the collective name for the upper burner, middle burner, and lower burner. It is one of the six internal organs and the largest of them. It is also called the external organ or the solitary organ. It is responsible for the rise and fall of various gases and the circulation of water. In the five elements, it belongs to fire, and its yin and yang attributes are yang.

Physiological characteristics of the triple energizer

1. The upper Jiao is like fog: The upper Jiao is like fog refers to the function of the upper Jiao to spread the Wei Qi and spread the essence. The upper burner receives the essence of water and grain from the spleen and stomach in the middle burner, and spreads it throughout the body through the function of the heart and lungs, exerting its nourishing and moisturizing effects, like irrigation by fog and dew. Hence it is called “the upper part of the body is like fog”. Because the upper burner receives and distributes the essence, it is also called "the upper burner is responsible for reception."

2. The middle burner is like a fermentation substance: The middle burner is like a fermentation substance refers to the function of the spleen and stomach to transport and transform water and grain and generate qi and blood. The stomach receives and digests food and water, which are then transformed by the spleen into essence, which is transformed into qi and blood. Through the spleen's function of ascending and transporting clear fluids, the essence of food and water is transported to the heart and lungs to nourish the whole body. Because the spleen and stomach have the physiological function of fermenting food and water and transporting and transforming the essence of life, they are metaphorically described as "the middle burner is like fermenting food." Because the middle burner transports and transforms the essence of water and grain, it is called "the middle burner is responsible for transformation."

3. The lower part of the body is like a ditch: The lower part of the body is like a ditch, which refers to the functions of the kidneys, bladder, large and small intestines and other internal organs in separating the clear from the turbid and excreting waste. The lower abdomen transfers the food residues to the large intestine, which turns into feces and is discharged from the body through the anus. It also transforms the remaining water in the body into urine through the gasification action of the kidneys and bladder and is discharged from the body through the urethra. This physiological process has the tendency to dredge downward and excrete outward, so it is called "the lower burner is like a ditch." Because the lower Jiao facilitates defecation and excretion of waste, it is also called "the lower Jiao is responsible for excretion."

To sum up, the triple energizer is related to the entire gasification process of food and water reception, digestion, absorption, distribution and excretion. Therefore, the triple energizer is the channel for the circulation of vital energy and food and water. It is a comprehensive of the physiological functions of the internal organs of the human body and is the "general manager of the five internal organs and six bowels" ("Liejing Fuyi. Qiuzhenglu").

Sanjiao obstruction leads to chronic diseases

The triple energizer regulates the qi throughout the body and is the leader of the five internal organs of the human body. The triple energizer is closely related to the human endocrine system and microcirculation vascular network. Blockage of the triple energizer is the root cause of various chronic diseases.

The main reason why middle-aged and elderly people suffer from multiple diseases is "complex pathogenesis, alternation of deficiency and excess, and involvement of multiple organs". The root cause is "blockage of the triple burner". Blockage of the triple burner is the root cause of common diseases, chronic diseases, and stubborn diseases that cannot be cured for a long time in middle-aged and elderly people.

If the upper part of the body is blocked, it will cause blockage of the meridians, stagnation of Qi and blood, and the occurrence of high blood pressure, high blood lipids, rheumatic bone diseases, cervical spondylosis, etc.

Blockage of the middle burner can cause symptoms such as lumbar muscle strain, low back pain, herniated disc, postpartum wind in women, chronic cold waist and gastrointestinal problems, and constipation.

Blockage of the lower abdomen: Obstruction of liver and kidney functions will cause kidney deficiency and prostate disease in men, and qi deficiency and blood deficiency in women, leading to menopausal syndrome and gynecological inflammation.

The triple energizer is a complex system, and using only a single or a few herbs in combination will not be enough to cover this diverse system. For the treatment of multiple diseases, serious diseases, and stubborn diseases in the elderly, it is necessary to integrate several prescriptions into one and combine several methods into one. Only by choosing a treatment that can scientifically and effectively treat multiple diseases at the same time, regulate endocrine system, balance yin and yang, and replenish vital energy, can you gradually recover.
