LIVER Mother of Heart:

“Liver stores blood and blood houses the Mind.” Weak Liver-Blood causes heart to

suffer HEART

Mother of Spleen: “Heart-Qi pushes the Blood and thus helps the

Spleen function of transportation.” SPLEEN

Mother of Lungs: “Spleen-Qi provides Food-Qi to the Lungs

where it interacts with air to form the Gathering Qi.”

LUNGS Mother of Kidneys:

“Lung-Qi descends to meet Kidney-Qi. The Lungs also send fluids down to the Kidneys.”

KIDNEYS Mother of Liver:

“Kidney-Yin nourishes Liver-Blood.”

LIVER Controls Spleen

The Liver helps “the Spleen to transform and transport.”

HEART

Controls Lungs “The Heart governs Blood and Lungs govern

Qi: Qi and Blood mutually assist and nourish each other.”

SPLEEN

Controls Kidneys “The Spleen activity in transforming and

transporting fluids is essential to the Kidney transformation and excretion of fluids.”

LUNGS

Control Liver “If Lung-Qi is weak and cannot descend,

Liver-Qi may tend to rise too much.”

KIDNEYS Control Heart

“Kidneys and Heart actually assist and support each other.” Proper communication

is essential for health.
