Spleen & Lungs

一日学一点  Daily Tips

Spleen and Lungs

(Where Earth represents Spleen & Metal represents Lungs)

Mutually assist each other.

Spleen extracts Food Qi and sends it up to the Lungs where it combines with air to form Zong Qi.

Spleen relies on Lung descending function to assist in the transformation and transportation of food (diaphragm movement helps Middle burner - "pumping" action).

Lung descending function also assists Spleen in the transformation of Body Fluids. Lung Qi weak, descending function impaired, Spleen cannot transform and transport the fluids, causing edema (水肿).

Deficient Spleen Qi: Food Qi deficient and production of Qi impaired (especially of Lung Qi: tiredness, weak limbs, breathlessness, weak voice) (Earth not producing Metal).

Spleen Deficiency: fluids not transformed but accumulate to form Phlegm, which settles in Lungs and impairs

Lung function. "The Spleen forms Phlegm, the Lungs store it."

Kidney Yang Deficient 肾阳虚 (ie the Fire is too weak in the chart)

Kidneys cannot transform fluids;  these can overflow upward to Heart.


Kidney Yin Deficient 肾阴虚 (ie the Fire is too STRONG)

Yin cannot rise to nourish Heart Yin. This can cause overactive Heart Fire (mental restlessness, insomnia, agitation, etc.)

Both these situations represent loss of communication between Heart and Kidney (ie : 心肾不交)

Heart and Kidneys

Mutual Existence & Assistance of Fire and Water.

Heart belongs to Fire element and is in Upper Burner. (Fire is Yang and corresponds to movement).

Kidneys belong to Water element and are in Lower Burner. (Water is Yin and corresponds to stillness).

Heart & Kidney must be in balance as they represent two fundamental polarities of Yang and Yin (Fire & Water).

Heart Yang descends to warm Kidney Yin while Kidney Yin ascends to nourish Heart Yang. This constant interchange is referred to as "mutual support of Fire and Water".
