Spleen-stomach meridian functional system

Molecular classification: Other

Overview

The Spleen-Stomach meridian function refers to a conceptual system in Traditional Chinese Medicine that assigns the Spleen and Stomach paired meridians key roles in transforming food into Qi (vital energy) and blood, distributing nutrients, and managing fluid balance in the body. These functions are described energetically rather than anatomically or biochemically, encompassing not only digestive activities and nutrient transport but also mental faculties such as logical thinking and worry. The health and balance of these meridians are addressed in TCM by means such as herbal therapy, acupuncture, dietary and lifestyle advice, but this framework does not correspond to a known single molecular target.
