Zang-Fu Organ System

The Zang-Fu Organ System is a traditional Chinese medicine concept describing how organs function together to maintain health. "Zang" organs (like the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys) are considered to store vital substances such as qi, blood, and fluids. "Fu" organs (like the stomach, intestines, gallbladder, and bladder) mainly handle processing, transportation, and elimination of food and waste. This system emphasizes the dynamic balance and flow of energy and substances between organs, influencing overall health and wellbeing. It provides a holistic view of bodily function beyond anatomical structures, focusing on interconnected physiological roles.
