It provides essential substance for the physiological functioning of food assimilation which is related to its functions above in transforming and maintaining the blood. It separates nutrients from waste to be transformed back into essential fluids in the body. In Chinese Medicine, this is referred to as separating the clear from the turbid. It removes excess water and waste in the body. Continuing to separate clear from turbid, the small intestine expels turbid fluids to the large intestine and urinary bladder for removal from the body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/c7f04ad2-52a6-4cfd-b60c-f8066dac67c5/IMG_5439.jpg Blog - Embracing Summer and the Fire Element in Chinese Medicine: Key Topics and Effective Acupuncture Solutions - Chapter 8 says, “The heart (心) holds the office of emperor and is the issuer of spirit clarity” The heart moves the blood throughout the cardiovascular system and through smaller collateral vessels to provide circulation and microcirculation. Any sluggish blood movement here can lead to blood stagnation which can cause heat. Long-term stagnation may lead to mental disorders, memory problems, stroke, and speech difficulties. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/7ae37044-8461-467b-98cf-8381df72816a/heart.jpeg Blog - Embracing Summer and the Fire Element in Chinese Medicine: Key Topics and Effective Acupuncture Solutions - The heart opens to the tongue. The tongue is the external manifestation and the sense organ of the internal heart organ. This function is associated with the function of spirit recognition within the heart. An agitated heart might lead us to think and speak without clarity. When we are upset, we may say something we might regret later rather than sitting in contemplation or talking it over with someone outside of the situation. Another example is when a person suffers from a stroke, their entire brain function is impacted. This may impair their recognition of the world as well as their capabilities to speak clearly because it can impact their speech. This can be treated by regulating the heart with acupuncture. Plug: there are large TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) hospitals in China that specialize and focus on treating Post-Stroke patients with acupuncture and other Chinese Medicine modalities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/b3e36c42-d3c9-4791-bb36-efb845012e49/IMG_5446.jpg Blog - Embracing Summer and the Fire Element in Chinese Medicine: Key Topics and Effective Acupuncture Solutions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.warminghutacupuncture.com/home daily 1.0 2025-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/b2a01d20-9cf1-49b4-86ed-6d204c920fa5/A1DF251C-47BA-45E4-9AF6-2BF5E4C35BFA.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/383adc5c-d39a-48a1-ab6d-4dcfb29a56a7/Seattle-Business-Branding-Headshot-Photographer-35.jpg https://www.warminghutacupuncture.com/offerings daily 0.75 2025-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/35be9e02-5ff2-4e6f-80ab-450ba63acd3a/IMG_4124-1.jpeg Offerings https://www.warminghutacupuncture.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2023-09-18 https://www.warminghutacupuncture.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-11-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/efa0d5ac-ce81-4f19-96fe-ff9ed02b18aa/IMG_6565.jpeg https://www.warminghutacupuncture.com/rates daily 0.75 2024-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/a4c3f674-95ff-4506-b768-69df65803fae/private+practice+%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/63f1abff-5912-48ee-885a-62513e798911/community+%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/7e9f84bd-b48a-42a2-96c1-b178bf66fd22/IMG_4177.jpg Rates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/390c574f-d855-4e74-8093-d031b7f5874f/hut.jpg Rates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/1695036806510-9S0G7B6W1TM4BS3LWM3K/IMG_3119.jpeg Rates https://www.warminghutacupuncture.com/faqs daily 0.75 2024-01-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/1703634393589-X9RQ1LPRS6WWD47T770N/GettyImages-91705422.jpg https://www.warminghutacupuncture.com/about daily 0.75 2025-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/55be80cb-dd50-4545-a9e9-c28256e7751b/2019-01-03+13%3A03%3A32.154+2.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/72b24d24-f56f-4306-9da1-936bf7956c7f/about+me.png https://www.warminghutacupuncture.com/rates-1 daily 0.75 2024-07-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/7e9f84bd-b48a-42a2-96c1-b178bf66fd22/IMG_4177.jpg Rates (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/390c574f-d855-4e74-8093-d031b7f5874f/hut.jpg Rates (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/1695036806510-9S0G7B6W1TM4BS3LWM3K/IMG_3119.jpeg Rates (Copy) https://www.warminghutacupuncture.com/new-rates daily 0.75 2025-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/63f1abff-5912-48ee-885a-62513e798911/community+%281%29.jpg Rates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/a4c3f674-95ff-4506-b768-69df65803fae/private+practice+%281%29.jpg Rates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/7e9f84bd-b48a-42a2-96c1-b178bf66fd22/IMG_4177.jpg Rates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/390c574f-d855-4e74-8093-d031b7f5874f/hut.jpg Rates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/1731007700134-M1B3FXSAPUQQZHQK95SG/unsplash-image-zoTdPQzG3JE.jpg Rates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64961c0159916f3f7996e2bf/1731007699913-Q72VJCJW3D7U6NDZOCCO/image-asset.jpeg Rates https://www.warminghutacupuncture.com/store daily 0.75 57267-01-22
