In Oriental Medicine we acknowledge the organs of the body and the meridians (energy pathways) that assist in sustaining our lives based on a simple sense of equilibrium. When the body, mind, emotions and / or spirit are out of balance we get symptoms, pain and illness.
TRIPLE HEATER (San-Jiao) – our body’s natural thermostat.
This is not exactly an “organ” however is present and functions in the body acting as the pathway that works simultaneously with the other organs making a complete system.
The “three heaters” ~ the upper heater – nourishes the heart and lungs, the middle heater – nourishes the spleen & stomach, and the lower heater – nourishes the liver & kidney’s. Each heater produces fluids forming a different function to ensure the free passage of the body fluids and Qi throughout the body extending to the body’s periphery.
When this “organ” is out of balance an obvious symptom is sensitivity or a reaction to heat and / or cold. When in balance our bodies self regulate to the natural heat of the summer and cold of the winter. Other symptoms include neck, shoulder and arm pain and issues with circulation
This sensitivity can be brought into balance with Shiatsu Shin Tai treatments.
It is advisable to practice yoga or work out during the less hot times of the day and to not work out in air conditioning. The combination of heat, humidity and air conditioning have opposite effects on blood supply, muscles and bones; air conditioning hits the muscles causing them to contract, reduce blood supply causing pain and changes the balance of the body.
Taking advantage of this weather allows us to expand and detoxify our bodies!!!!!!!
“Being comfortable with being uncomfortable, going within to find comfort not looking to outside of ourselves to create superficial comfort”.
