Do you know that four out of every 10 adults are suffering from digestive disorders of varying severity in the world? That is shockingly high with a rate of 40%. When you think of the digestive system, the first organ associated with it is the stomach. Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), both the stomach meridian and spleen meridian play an important role in your digestive functions. They are like twin brothers that one affects each other.
If you imagine that the stomach is the storehouse of the food, then the spleen meridian is involved in transportation. The food we eat is initially grinded and digested in the stomach, and then further processed by the spleen meridian to remove the waste and transport the "essence"-nutrients to the whole body. If the function of the stomach meridian is not good, the transportation capacity of the spleen meridian will be naturally affected.As we know that the digestive system plays a critical role in our health because it provides the source of nutrients to sustain our life.
