One role of the Liver is to mobilize Yang upward to assist the Spleen in raising the “clear” Nutritive Qi to the Lung. Also, the arousal of Qi, via the Gallbladder (bile), activates the digestive and peristaltic activity of the Stomach and Intestines, further assisting the Spleen in the generation and distribution of Nutritive Qi. In relation to the Liver, the role of the Spleen is to transform the digestate of the Stomach, facilitate the descension of impure Qi into the Lower Burner and the ascension of “clear and pure” Qi to the Upper Burner. The impure Qi is either further purified and concentrated by the Kidney or collected and discharged by the Bladder and Large Intestine, while the Pure Qi is transmuted by the alchemy of the Lung (after mingling with the Heavenly Qi of the atmosphere) into the “Righteous” Qi that benefits life.
Through their relationship, the Liver and Spleen organize the processes of digestion, transformation, assimilation and the distribution of finer and coarser substances. Smooth interaction between these Organ Networks maintains nourishment and the unobstructed passage of Qi, Moisture, Essence and Blood through the Middle Burner.
Harmonize Wood & Earth disperses Qi, Moisture and Blood, tonifies Blood, dispels Wind, Heat and Dampness, consolidates Qi and Moisture at the surface and stabilizes the Shen, benefitting reflection and clarity of thought.
