BLOOD - QI and Energy JING BLOOD BODY FLUIDS[TCM Discovery Net]

It is thought there are two ways in which blood is produced for use throughout the body. As will be seen, in Chinese medicine, the Spleen, Stomach, Lungs, Heart, and Kidneys all have important roles to play in the development of blood. 1.Transformation of blood Food and Drink are transformed into Blood, starting with the Spleen. The Spleen extracts Gu Qi from the food ingested into the Stomach and this is sent upward to the chest area. http://tcmdiscovery.com/tcm_blood.asp

Qi (vital Engergy) from a TCM Perspective

Qi (vital Energy) from a TCM Perspective Western medicine places strong emphasis on the physical structures of the body, which are made up of different organic and inorganic substances, proteins, tissues and cells. These substances form the physiological basis of humans. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), on the other hand, views life a little differently. Instead of emphasizing discrete body components with cells being the basic building blocks, the body is seen as a whole entity with connecting parts that work together to sustain life.
