Claude Larre & Elisabeth Rochat De La Vallee

ISBN: 9781872468037

Monkey Press 1990 1st Edition

Spleen & StomachĀ begins with the Chinese concept of the centre and the ideograms for the organs. It discusses their functions as storehouses and granaries, and explores in depth their five phase resonances as earth, the source of all stability through change. The very close, interdependent relationship between spleen and stomach is examined, as is the preeminence of the stomach amongst theĀ fu. The book contains a detailed study of the spleen and stomach from theĀ Neijing, threading together key passages which present them in different contexts. This covers the spleenā€™s relationship with the kidneys, and the relationships betweenĀ yang ming, chong mai,Ā zong jinĀ (ancestral muscle) andĀ xu liĀ (greatĀ luoĀ of the stomach). The substantial appendix summarizes the functions of spleen and stomach, and selected quotations from theĀ NeijingĀ are given. The pathology is presented in brief with principle causes of disease.
