The Chinese Medicine Perception
a: Spleen ~
b: busy mailroom
What: "the Spleen is like a busy mailroom in a large
downtown office building. The mail (aka food and drink) comes in from the outside, and the
workers must sort through it, discarding the junk mail as waste, and delivering important
documents to the correct businesses above. A properly functioning mailroom will do this task
with expedience, no junk mail will collect, and all the businesses will receive the necessary
documents in a timely matter. However, let's say a few of the workers are out sick. The
functionality of the mailroom will decrease with similar consequences as to what happens when
the Spleen Qi becomes weak: there will be an accumulation of unwanted material"
