Triple Burner (San Jiao)
The Triple Burner, as its name suggests, is a three part structure which in TCM is the name given to three interrelated areas of the body. The upper burner includes the chest, heart and lungs, the middle burner comprises the spleen, stomach, liver and small intestine, whilst the lower burner consists of kidneys, bladder and large intestine. All these areas of the body combine to help regulate qi flow within the body.
