| San Jiao at AllExperts (493 words) |
 | In TCM theory, the San Jiao is a yang organ paired with the pericardium which is the yin organ associated with it. |
 | The San Jiao is said to be a metabolism mechanism similar to an old-fashioned water wheel that is turned by incoming water and creates energy for accomplishing a task, such as grinding grain in the case of the water wheel, or for metabolising and digesting food in the case of the San Jiao. |
 | The San Jiao is closely associated with the spleen functions of transformation and transportation, particularly the metabolism of incoming food. |
