Sorting of the Pure and Impure...

www.natural-health-zone.com - Small Intestine Meridian




The small intestine meridian is a yang meridian and is paired with the heart yin meridian.

It receives and transforms food by separating the Pure from the Impure, with the Pure becoming bodily fluids and the Impure becoming urine - this function also operates on emotional, mental and spiritual levels.

This meridian is responsible for digestion, water absorption, nutrient absorption and bowel functions.
