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.
