Zang-Fu Theory

Zang-Fu Theory is a traditional Chinese medical concept describing how internal organs function within a holistic system. The "Zang" organs (like the liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys) are considered vital stores of essential substances such as Qi, blood, and body fluids, influencing overall health. The "Fu" organs (like the stomach, intestines, bladder) are responsible for digestion, absorption, and waste elimination. This theory emphasizes the dynamic balance and communication between these organs, affecting physical, emotional, and mental well-being. It's used in practices like acupuncture and herbal medicine to diagnose and restore health by addressing organ imbalances.
