Spleen Meridian

The Spleen Meridian:

Order: 
Taiji: Yin Element: Earth 
Emotion: Care 
Sensory organ: lips 
Tissue: Connective tissue 
Links: Big toe 
Function: digestion

The spleen meridian stands for digestion and can be compared with the pancreas according to our medicine. The spleen meridian is associated with the reproductive organs, the breast and hormonal control.

Music: The music corresponds to the energy of the spleen meridian and makes it easier to work with these meridians. The energy flows unhindered - blockages are released.

Jitsu/surplus: Excess energy is manifested here in a weakness of the digestive organs: great thirst, inflammation of the stomach mucous membranes due to unhealthy and hasty eating, the legs are stiff and heavy, the arms feel lame, the back bends, gets cold and painful, the hips are stiff. The behaviour seems shy.

Kyo/deficiency: A lack of energy is mainly due to a disturbed digestive function: Food is usually only tolerated in combination with a lot of liquid, saliva is tough, the taste nerves are weakening. Due to lack of exercise, circulatory disturbances in the legs, feet and spine arise. Mental exhaustion leads to this state of insufficiency and the spleen meridian is weakened: dissatisfaction, restlessness, fears, eating too fast, mental work, little sleep (this increase in discomfort is attributed to our modern time quality).

• Yang meridians run from the fingers to the face and from the face to the toes

General: Meridians (Traditional Chinese Medicine) are channels in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) where the life energy (Qi) flows. Each meridian is assigned to an organ or organ system. Acupuncture points are located on the meridians. Various meridian therapies are designed to help patients stay or become healthy. According to the TCM, health is associated with a free and sufficient flow of Qi in the meridians. If, for example, too little Qi flows, harmful Qi could enter the canal and damage the associated organ.
