	Hung Kuen Net - Hung Gar Kung Fu - Traditional Chinese Medicine
		Zang and Fu are the terms used to describe various internally visible yin and yang organs in the human body.
		The heart activity is reflected on the colour of the face and the tongue.
		The pericardium is the least important of the zang organs, which encloses and protects the xin-heart and the diseases of the pericardium result in dysfunction of the xin-heart.

	Zang-Fu organs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Zang - fu is the general term for the organs of the human body, and includes the six zang organs, the six fu organs and the extraordinary fu organs.
		The heart, lung, spleen, liver, kidney and pericardium are known as the six zang organs.
		For this reason, there are established standards by which we determine the hardness and crispness of the zang organs, the size of the fu organs, the quantity of food consumed, the length of the vessels, the clarity and turbidity of the blood, the quantity of qi in the body..

	What is Phlegm-Mist Affecting the Orifices of the Heart?
		The heart is a distinctive organ that has several large vessels protruding (e.g., aorta and pulmonary artery), and these could easily be understood as "orifices of the heart." Further, the flow of blood upward to the brain was readily displayed when injuries to the neck (including decapitation) occurred.
		Since the heart, as a yin organ (zang), was deemed to be "solid"(one of the yin organs, the zang) rather than "hollow" (as with the yang organs, the fu), it would be a natural assumption that the phlegm accumulated in the heart channels.
		For heat entering the pericardium or phlegm confounding the orifices of the heart that result in coma, clouding, inability to speak, and in severe cases, convulsions, acorus is frequently used to open and free the orifices of the heart, diffuse qi, and eliminate phlegm, thereby arousing the brain and clearing the spirit.

	Acupuncture.Com - Education - Theory - Pts for Blood
		Acute severe pain from blood stasis which threatens the survival of the Heart zang is therefore primarily treated by using points of the Pericardium channel, the 'protector' of the Heart.
		Xinshu BL-15 is the back-shu point of the Heart, where the qi of the Heart emanates from the interior to the body surface, and in common with all the back-shu points (especially those of the yin zang) Xinshu BL-15 has a strong action on regulating and tonifying its corresponding zang at the deepest level.
		When Heart blood or yin are deficient, the unrooted and unanchored shen loses its harmony and becomes restless and unquiet, resulting in such symptoms as anxiety, poor memory, insomnia and excessive dreaming and weeping with grief.

		From the TCM perspective, the main physiological functions and indicators of the heart includes (1) the domination of blood and vessels, and facial complexion, (2) control of the mind; and (3) opening into the tongue.
		The heart is in charge of the blood vessels...." The vessels are the pathways of blood circulation while the heart is the motive power of blood circulation.

		The heart, therefore, is the root of life, the seat of shen, the master of blood, and the commander of the vessels.
		Nourish the heart and pacify shen (yang xin an shen yang): fushen (fushen), zizyphus (suanzaoren), biota (baiziren), succinum (hupo).
		In this case, the heart and the kidney need to be "reconnected" by clearing heart fire (descending heart fire) and steaming kidney water (ascending kidney water); an example is using a small amount of bitter coptis to reduce the heart fire with a small amount of hot spicy cinnamon to steam the kidney water.

	Zangfu Theory & Cellular Memory
		The heart is the sovereign of all organs and represents the consciousness of one's being.

	Conscious Choice: The Five Elements
		Viewed thus holistically, the organ zangs are also generators and transformers of the energy (qi) and the Mind (See diagrams 4 and 5).
		To the ancient Chinese, the Spirit is regarded as the inner "emperor." It is meant to be centralized or "housed" in the Heart zang.
		If the Heart zang thus "houses" properly, the other four organ zangs and their corresponding mental attributes then serve to support the "emperor-Spirit" by generating, transforming, and circulating energy all the way from the Earth Element (food source/mouth) straight through to the deepest core, the Fire Element/Heart, where Spirit is centralized.

	Traditional Chinese Medicine theory: Visceral symptoms
		According to this theory, the face is the mirror of the heart, the heart is enriched by blood and opens to the tongue.
		Only if heart qi is enriched can a normal heart rate and rhythm be maintained and can blood normally circulate within the vessels continuously and nourish the body, which is shown by a lustrous and bright complexion and a moderate, forceful pulse,etc. Normal blood circulation also depends upon whether the blood is enriched or not.
		All the vessels belong to the heart and the heart reflects on the face: Since there are many vessels on the head and face, the face is lustrous and moist if heart qi flourishes and the vessels are full.

		The Heart is the residence of the shen.
		Another term reflecting the function of the Heart as the residence of the shen is xin zhong, the 'heart as centre'.
		The heart never ceases to store, yet something in it is to be called empty; to be multiple, yet something in it is to be called unified; to move, yet something in it is to be called still.

	Five elements 2
		Arterial blood pressure of the artery supplying each organ is inversely proportional to the distance of this artery from the heart, that is, the longer the distance of this artery from the heart is, the lower the arterial blood pressure is.
		The arteries which supply the heart, brain, thyroid gland and parathyroid glands branch from the aorta the earliest, which the arteries which supply the adrenal glands, kidneys and sex glands branch from the aorta the latest.
		When bloodflow of the heart, brain, thyroid gland and parathyroid glands increases, that is, overabundance of fire occurs, bloodflow of the adrenal glands, kidneys and sex glands will decrease relatively, that is, fire restricts water reversely ; bloodflow of the lungs will decrease relatively as well, that is, fire subjugates metal.

		The heart meridian was not among them, and from this observation I began to associate, verify and catalogue an enormous quantity of information I had obtained from patients with the most wide-ranging pathologies.
		However serious the disorders of the lungs, heart, small intestine and large intestine may be, they will never manifest symptoms in proportion to their seriousness on the reflex areas of the sole of the foot.
		The zang organ (full) is the lung, referred to in the singular by the Chinese since in the observation of tortured criminals it was seen as a single tree, the trachea (bronchial tree) with two large fruits, the lungs, one divided into three (three lobes) and the other in two.

	Blood
		After being formed, blood normally circulates in the vessels throughout the body, and is acted upon jointly by the heart, liver and spleen.

		The meridians and collaterals are pathways in which the qi and blood of the human body are circulated.
		As the fundamental substances required in blood formation originate from food essence produced by the spleen and stomach, these two organs are regarded as the source of qi and blood.
		The heart dominates the blood and vessels, and the propelling force of heart qi is the basis of blood circulation.

		In TCM, one of the main function of the heart is "the residence of the spirit" (Chapter 71, Miraculous Pivot).
		Common complaints associated with the unbalance of the heart (insufficiency of heart blood or heart yin deficient) are insomnia, dream-disturbed sleep, restlessness, emotional disturbances, fidgetyness, and palpitation with fear.
		When "shen" is not tranquilized and the blood fails to nourish the heart, it is difficult for one to calm down.

	Compassionate Dragon Healing: Shenmen - Heart 7 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		When there is blood or yin deficiency, the Heart is unable to anchor the spirit and it becomes restless giving rise to such symptoms as anxiety, fearfulness, poor memory, insomnia and disturbed sleep.
		It is said that heart fire warms the Kidneys, which are water and by nature cool, while Kidney water, by its cool nature restrains heart fire.
		By this understanding of the relationship between these two organs, as well as the relationship between the heart, small intestine and urinary bladder channels, Shenmen's inclusion in many classic treatments of enuresis (bed-wetting), is explained and supports the modern idea that there is a strong psycho-emotional component to this common childhood ailment.

		The reader is left to wonder if the divided heart existed because Walker was considered a mulatto (mixed race of fl and white), or if the divided heart existed because Walker wanted to belong to the white race and to the fl race, but never fully belonged to either.
		Sometimes, the "divided heart" seems to belong to the author, who never fully explains why the story of Walker's life should be important to a reader today.
		Zang excels in showing the history of Ohio's Quaker population's rejection of racism, and in showing how Walker thrived in several businesses in different towns in Ohio.
