What is the Spleen?

The Spleen in Chinese Medicine refers more to functionality of a group of organs rather than the specific organ itself. In short, It is the digestive functionality which transforms food broken down by the stomach into Qi and transports that Qi to various places in the body.

It is said that the Spleen in Chinese Medicine facilitates Transformation and Transportation. Transformation meaning that the food that has been broken down by the stomach is transformed into qi by the spleen. The spleen then transports that qi to various parts of the body.
