Chinese Medicine considers the heart as the “emperor organ” because it was discovered that the heart is the primary organ in the that pumps blood, oxygen, and nutrients through the blood vessels system to major organs and tissues. Three substances are referred to as Xue (blood), Qi (Vital air), and Ying Qi (Nutrient), and blood vessels were referred to as Xue Mai.
Is Chinese Herbal Medicine About Energy & Meridians?
This is one of the greatest misconceptions that people have. Chinese scholars studied the human body extensively and were able to understand the working of the human heart and named other organs of the body including the lungs, spleen, liver, kidneys, through dissection.
They have texts describing the internal organs and which blood vessels were supplying blood and nutrient flow to each of them. Chinese medicine is based on real physical anatomy and physiology and is focused on restoring proper function within the vessel system.
The idea of energy flow and meridians was popularized by a French author in the early 20th century but were based on false translations of the Huang Di Nei Jing, an ancient book on Chinese medicine.
