The Spleen
Spleen Controls Blood
1. Keeps Blood in Vessels
If Spleen Qi healthy, Blood circulates normally (see also Liver) and stays in vessels. Deficient Spleen Qi or Deficient Spleen Yang, Blood may spill from vessels = hemorrhages, subcutaneous bleeding, etc. (petechiae, purpura) Also, especially lower body hemorrhage, e.g. metrorrhagia can be caused by Xu Spleen Qi.
2. Important role in Blood formation.
(Food Qi extracted by Spleen sent to Lung and to Heart to form Blood with assistance of Yuan Qi from Kidney). To tonify Blood, always tonify Spleen.
Sport and life is about losing. It's about understanding how to lose.
