Topic: Kidney (Zang)



  
 The 5 Organs Network of Chinese Medicine - Heart
In this case, the heart and the kidney need to be "reconnected" by clearing heart fire (descending heart fire) and steaming kidney water (ascending kidney water); an example is using a small amount of bitter coptis to reduce the heart fire with a small amount of hot spicy cinnamon to steam the kidney water.
While the zang organ serves as a residence (the shen resides in the heart) and a major transporter (the heart moves the blood) the fu organ serves only as a transfer station, temporarily storing material that is to be discharged.
Nourish the heart and pacify shen (yang xin an shen yang): fushen (fushen), zizyphus (suanzaoren), biota (baiziren), succinum (hupo).

 THE ZANG-FU RELATIONSHIPS
The zang are yin and the fu yang.
The mutual interconnections between the meridians, zang and fu organs mean that when a particular meridian is diseased due to invasion of pathogenic factors, there may be a transmission of pathological changes to other meridians, and related zang - fu organs, particularly externally - internally related ones.
The heart and small intestine, spleen and stomach, liver and gallbladder and kidney and bladder are similarly closely related, physiologically and pathologically, by means of the yin and yang meridians.

 The Zang-Fu Organs
The zang and fu organs are linked by the meridians to form pairs of the exterior-interior relationship.
minance of the zang organs The organ phenomenon theory divides the internal organs of the human body into two types: The heart, lung, spleen, liver and kiclney are termed the five zang organs; while the gallbladder, stomach, large and small intestines, bladder and triple energizer are termed the six fu organs.
in Chinese medicine, the organs of the heart, lung, spleen, liver,kidney, stomach, large and small intestines, gallbladder and bladder are morphologically equivalent to the modern human anatomy and refer to the substantial internal organs of the same name.

In accordance with the fact that the zang organs pertain to yin, the fu organs to yang, and the medial aspect is attributed to yin, the lateral aspect, to yang, the meridians that pertain to the zang organs are yin meridians, which are mainly distributed on the medial aspect of the four limbs.
Among the twelve regular meridians, the yin meridians pertaining to the zang organs communicate with the fu organs, while the yang meridians pertaining to the fu organs communicate with the zang organs, thus forming an exterior - interior relation between yin and yang, the zang and fu organs.

 Welcome To Enwei
The characteristics of the pathogenesis of zang-fu organs in andropathy reflect in liver and kidney.
When kidney qi is deficient, and hyperactivity of the ministerial fire, or pouring downwards of damp-heat may blaze and disturb the chamber of the essence, leading to kidney losing its function to store the essence, and cause spermatorrhea.
Traumatic injuries to the vessels, bleeding due to heat in the blood, blood stasis obstructing the meridians may cause escape of blood from vessels, clinically manifests as hematuria and hemospermia.

 zang-fu
The heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and pericardium grouped together are known as the six zang organs.
(Each zang organ opens into a sense organ which indicates a close structural or physiological and pathological relationship between the internal organs and the sense organs.) The main physiological functions of the heart are controlling blood and vessels and housing the mind.
A tenet of traditional Chinese medicine, therefore, is that mental activity is dominated by various organs, the heart being the main one.

 Traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of the menopause
Among the organs in zang-fu, the ‘heart’, ‘liver’, ‘spleen’, ‘lung’ and ‘kidney’ are the main systems, and all other organs and tissues are viewed in connection with them.
— Principle of treatment: Harmonizing the ‘heart’ and the ‘kidney’, relieving mental distress, calming the mind.
An insufficient kidney Yin cannot fulfil its function of harmonizing the ‘heart fire’; as a result, the equilibrium between the ‘heart’ and the ‘kidney’ breaks down, in other words, a discord between ‘heart’ and ‘kidney’ occurs.

In addition, it is common clinical practice to determine the principle of treatment and selection of points according to pathological influences among the zang-fu organs which follow the cycle of the five elements.
In addition, the interpromoting and interacting relationships are used to explain some of the interconnections between the zang-fu organs.
For example, when liver disease is transmitted to the heart, it is called a disorder of "the mother affecting the son," and when liver disease is transmitted to the kidney, it is called a disorder of "the son affecting the mother."

 East Bay Traditional Chinese Medicine
The upper jiao refers to the area above the diaphragm (Lung and Heart), the middle jiao refers to the area between the diaphragm and the umbilicus (Spleen and Stomach), and the lower jiao refers to the area between the umbilicus and the genitals (Kidney, Liver, Gall Bladder, Intestines, and Urinary Bladder).
Heart: As in western physiology, the Heart in TCM is said to control Blood circulation.
Small Intestine: The Small Intestine, a Yang organ, is paired with the Heart and is in charge of separating clear, useable substances from turbid waste in the food and liquid passed to it from the Stomach.

 Yin - Yang
The meridians originating from Zang organs are negative (Yin) and those originating from Fu organs are positive (Yang) in polarity.
Fire symbolizes heart, small intestine, pericardium and triple warmer; earth symbolizes stomach and spleen; metal stands for lung and large intestine; water symbolizes kidney and urinary bladder, and wood represents liver and gall bladder.
The viscera are divided into two categories--solid or Zang organs, hollow or Fu organs.
http://www.vediccare.com/energy.html

  
 East Bay Traditional Chinese Medicine
There are six solid Yin organs ( zang) and six hollow Yang organs ( fu), with one of each per pair.
Qi flows through the organs via their respective meridians in the following order: Lung, Large Intestine, Stomach, Spleen, Heart, Small Intestine, Urinary Bladder, Kidney, Pericardium, San Jiao (or "Triple Warmer"), Gall Bladder, and Liver, before heading back to the Lung and beginning the circuit anew.
The Pericardium is considered a Yin organ and is paired with the San Jiao, its Yang counterpart.

 The Five Elements
For example, in the eventuality of danger, the Kidney zang will create fear which will temporarily and necessarily interrupt the homeostasis of happiness in order to promote action and thus alleviate danger (a Western corollary would be the adrenal system).
The Spleen zang, as part of the Earth Element, generates serious concern and concentration when we need to take care of practical matters and obligations (working, studying, raising a family etc.).
If the Heart zang thus "houses" properly, the other four organ zangs and their corresponding mental attributes then serve to support the "emperor-Spirit" by generating, transforming, and circulating energy all the way from the Earth Element (food source/mouth) straight through to the deepest core, the Fire Element/Heart, where Spirit is centralized.
