Immune system

3 Powerful Body Functions can effectively boost immunity. If your health were weak, what is the first thought in your mind about the reason?

If you are a weak person who often gets sick, have you ever thought about understanding the functions of various organs in your body to find the cause?

Have you ever thought about trying to change your physique? Or what you think is inborn and cannot be changed?

Yes, everyone’s birth year has already determined his physique. This is innate and cannot be changed, but there are ways to improve the innate immune system.

The influence of cosmic energy on life on earth determines the innate constitution of each person

The human body is a miraculous living body with its own repair system.

In this living body, there are breathing functions, energy replenishment functions, metabolic waste functions, emotional functions, reproductive functions, and self-cultivation functions, etc..

What supports such a living body is the five-element law of the universe, and each organ in the body operates according to the five-element law to maintain vital signs and reproduction.

Of the 12 viscera and functions in the human body, 11 are tangible and one is intangible, but its function affects the cooperation and harmony of the other 11 viscera.

There are 12 signs of the zodiac in the universe and there are 12 viscera and functions in the human body on the earth.

The human body also has 12 meridians to help run the body’s energy.

There are 12 houses of the zodiac in the west, and there are 24 solar terms in the Chinese calendar. The sun always moves on the same Chinese solar terms to correspond to the same 12 houses of the zodiac, and the 12 houses of the zodiac are 12 of the 24 solar terms.

According Chinese almanac, it is Chinese almanac year 4720 in sun calendar 2023. Chinese people have been followed 24 solar terms to farm and play daily and yearly actives.

The diagram below helps you understand the differences and commonalities.

Immune systm - five organs

The Five Elements Attributes of the Five Viscera and Six Fu

The 5 yin organs and 6 yang organs protect and support each other, restrict and coordinate the energy of the body.

The 5 yin organs generate and restrain each other to maintain the normal operation of the body and maintain physical and mental health.

The 5 yin organs and 6 yang organs correspond to the 5 planets in the solar system, including Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus, and Mercury.

Their running directions in the solar system affect the strength of the visceral functions of creatures on the earth.

Jupiter belongs to Wood, which corresponds to the liver and gallbladder. Mars is fire, corresponding to the heart and small intestine.

Saturn belongs to the Earth, corresponding to the spleen and stomach. Venus belongs to Metal and corresponds to the lungs and large intestine.

Mercury belongs to water and corresponds to the kidneys and bladder. There are a total of five attributes and 10 viscera.

There is another pair, which is the tangible genital pericardium and an invisible functional triple burner. They both belong to fire. One fire is in yin meridian and the other is in yang meridian.

They are helping other 5 pairs of viscera operation of mutual generation and restriction.

The relationship and function of viscera – Is it related to immune system?

Yes, they do. And there is an article talk about immune system research overview. You can find out the differences and commonalities of Chinese culture and Western culture.

Viscera function is unbalance will cause immune system disorders.

The heart belongs to the fire, and the kidneys belong to the water. Lowering of the heart fire can warm the kidney water and prevent the kidney water from being cold.

While the kidney water helps the heart fire to prevent excessive heart fire. The heart and kidney restrict each other and complement each other, that is, the heart and kidney intersect.

When the heart and kidney do not communicate, it will cause insomnia.

The kidney is the foundation of the innate, likes mildness. And the downward movement of the heart fire will make the kidney yang sufficient and the kidney qi full.

The heart is storing spirit and likes to be calm and peaceful. Water has the effect of reducing fire and stopping dryness. Therefore, the kidney water moves upward, allowing the heart to hide the mind and become peaceful.

They are like two brothers with very different personalities, complementing each other and helping the body to achieve its best state.

When the kidneys become deficient, there is no strength to send kidney water upward to the heart. At this time, the heart fire becomes hyperactive without restraint, and the heart feels restless and restless, disturbing the liver, and anxiety and worry will appear and other symptoms.

Without the guidance of the kidney water, the heart-fire cannot go downward. Without the heating of the heart-fire, the kidneys will become cold, and the kidney yang must be consumed.

Without the replenishment of the heart-fire for a long time, the kidney yang will be overdrawn and weak.

There will often be weakness in the waist and knees, chills and cold, and fatigue. Difficult concentrating, irritability, etc.

Male spermatorrhea, premature ejaculation, etc. Women irregular mensturation, amenorrhea.

There may also be conditions such as tinnitus and dizziness.

At this time, it is necessary to replenish the kidney yang, so that the kidney water can ascend to reduce the heart fire. Then nourishing the heart and calm the spirit.

After adjustments and recuperation, the heart and kidneys are intersected again, and they can cooperate happily again, and the body will recover.

    I would highly recommend booking a consultation with Shirley. I met with Shirley in September and on that day she was able to assess my pulse with precision and identify where improvements could be made to support balancing my body. During my initial consultation, Shirley designed a three month treatment plan for me. At each appointment Shirley thoroughly assessed my progress as we worked in partnership to bring my body into balance. Shirley excels at Moxibustion and Tui Na, two therapies that I experienced during my treatment plan and I also followed all of the “homework” that she assigned me. I am very happy with the positive results that I experienced and again I would highly recommended booking a consultation with Shirley.

  • The amazing Shirley Brown goes the extra mile to help you to heal. Her initial assessment and history taking is incredibly thorough. Not only does she assess your medical and surgical history but also goes into indepth assessment of your usual diet .eating .sleeping patterns and your exercise routines . Shirley then can treat and heal you so much more profoundly . My first treatment with Shirley was with Moxinustion . Shirley used this to heal imbalances and to restore my energy system and then could prescribe what was needed to make me heal. I went for my first appointment feeling that I could not be healed or would have to wait months if not years to see a specialist. After seeing Shirley I left feeling lighter stronger and with definitely less pain and actual optimism and knew that I had been really cared for . I have been going to see Shirley for special teas she makes depending on what organ in my body needs the most attention . Shirley is a truly gifted healer and her knowledge of Chinese medicine is profound . Shirley truly excels in her profession.

  • Shirley has helped me a great deal in improving my health. Being a Chinese from Hong Kong, I always trust TCM. Although I knew about moxa since I was a kid, I had never tried moxibustion before, until I met Shirley. I had encountered a medical issue in the past few years that none of my doctors and specialists could explain (or in their words "never heard of"). I had also tried cupping, Chinese massage and acupuncture. However, only after I started to have moxibustion and Shirley's five elements tea and herbal teas, I have experienced a huge improvement. As a matter of fact, many of the herbal teas that Shirley prescribes are actually very traditional recipes from the ancient Chinese medical records since thousands of years ago, which are commonly accessible online or on hard copies. However, to feel the pulse, check the body condition and then apply the right recipe for the treatment is utmost crucial and Shirley is proved to be able to do so. And I was told today that the official name of the clinic of "One More Cup of Tea" is "SLB Traditional Chinese Therapies" and there are a lot of information under that page. I am going to leave the exact same review under that name so nobody should miss it. Thank you Shirley.
