#71 - The Zang-Fu Organ Theory in Chinese Medicine
Manage episode 482735317 series 3530594
Today, I’m breaking down one of the most essential (and often confusing!) foundations of Chinese medicine: Zang-Fu Organ Theory—and making it easy to understand.
If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to figure out a diagnosis or second-guessed your treatment plan, it might be time to go back to the basics. In TCM, there’s no wrong treatment—only the wrong diagnosis.
We’ll explore how Zang-Fu organs function in Chinese medicine is completely different from Western anatomy—and why that difference gives us powerful tools to treat our patients more holistically.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- What the Zang (Yin) organs really do—and why they’re so important
- How the Fu (Yang) organs support digestion, fluids, and elimination
- The role of the extraordinary organs and their deep connection to mental and emotional health
- Why revisiting the foundations can actually help solve your trickiest cases
