0:00so we will start with today's session
0:03so we were discussing about body fluids
0:06in the last week
0:08so today we will continue
0:10the relationship of body fluids with the
0:13different internal organs
0:17so you can see a list of organs over
0:20here
0:22and all of them
0:24perform a particular
0:26function
0:27with respect to
0:30body fluids we will try to understand
0:32each one of them in detail
0:35and try to see how
0:37these organs help the body in creating
0:41or utilizing different kinds of body
0:44fluids
0:45okay
0:47so i'll just read out spleen is the one
0:50which
0:52transforms and transports in the initial
0:54phase
0:55lungs is the one which diffuses kidney
0:58once again transforms separates
1:00you you be excretes triple warmer once
1:03again transforms and
1:04transports except excretes stomach is
1:07the origin so when we read it out like
1:10this
1:11not much
1:14importance
1:15goes into our head so we'll take one by
1:18one and
1:19go into the deeper aspects of it
1:22first thing
1:24so spleen
1:25is
1:26a very important
1:29organ when it comes to
1:32body fluids
1:34spleen is the most important organ in
1:36relationship to the
1:38physiology and pathology of body fluids
1:42so
1:43but if you notice in terms of
1:46western medicine
1:48spleen is the master of the lymph
1:51there also we can see the correlation
1:53that
1:54what
1:55the tcm says is body fluids okay
1:58one part of body fluid is lymph
2:02and the major controller of the master
2:05of the lymph is spleen so it controls
2:08the initial transformation and
2:10separation into pure and impure part
2:14it also controls the crucial
2:17direction of moving pure and impure
2:20fluids upwards and downwards
2:24respectively
2:26at all stages of body fluid production
2:29just like
2:30i am trying to give a correlation over
2:33here before i go to this
2:35i will discuss little bit of
2:38spleen
2:39and
2:40how it helps in
2:42moving upwards
2:44so let us say
2:46this is the stomach
3:03mr screen is over here
3:07so and from here there is
3:10small intestine
3:32so
3:38so
3:39what happens is
3:41there is a direct connection of the
3:43stomach
3:44on the food which is coming
3:48but an indirect influence
3:51of screen
3:53throughout these things
3:57so
3:59screen is influencing
4:01all of these things
4:07that is why
4:10we can say
4:11that
4:15the
4:16screen is the one which is helping in
4:19the transformation so we have learnt in
4:22our anatomy and physiology class that
4:25when somebody drinks or eats the
4:28absorption doesn't
4:29happen only in
4:32small intestine
4:35it starts from the mouth itself
4:38from the tongue
4:40the absorption
4:41starts happening okay there is lot of
4:44absorption happening
4:46and even in stomach there is absorption
4:48happening and we know that in small
4:50intestine the absorption is happening
4:54so who is responsible for all these
4:56absorption starting from the tongue
5:00and the small intestine
5:02okay so here
5:04the spleen
5:05plays a very important role
5:08and that is why we say
5:10spleen is the one which is helping us in
5:14the
5:14initial
5:16transformation
5:17how was the connection of this plane to
5:20these organs how is how are these things
5:22connected see physically
5:26the large intestine is connected to
5:28small intestine via the tube
5:31ah that is clear and small intestine is
5:33connected to stomach via there too all
5:35of this is like git
5:41we don't
5:42or i don't know if there is any physical
5:44connection as such
5:47so data
5:50transfer to
5:52how is the transformation happening is
5:54that the question uh transformation
5:56without uh
5:57physical connection
5:58yeah just like say your cell phone tower
6:02if there is no physical wire between
6:04your phone and the cell phone tower
6:07but still so much of data comes in and
6:09goes out isn't it
6:12so there is an invisible energy
6:15which is acting upon your cell phone
6:18from the cell phone tower
6:20similarly
6:21there may be some
6:23physical
6:26influence there may be some nerves going
6:28between spleen and other of these organs
6:32but it can also be
6:34in the non-physical way
6:37but therefore can i add does it go yes
6:41yes
6:43see if you see the small intestine i
6:45mean especially the be life what you say
6:48is to the villain is attached a artery a
6:52wheel and a lymph
6:54actually these three things will be
6:55attached
6:56so when the absorption is happening from
6:59the small intestine these three are
7:01absorbing
7:02so i think this is my guess i think
7:04because lymph the fluid which goes into
7:07the lymph is governed by spleen there
7:10should be a way where it is acting on
7:13these organs
7:15yes makes full sense okay
7:18so what uh
7:20bonnie madam was telling is
7:22that in villis there are three things
7:24which is getting connected in the back
7:26end arteries veins and lymph so based on
7:29these connections
7:31the screen would be influencing all of
7:33these things which the pcm is
7:35telling so i repeat this statement
7:39it controls the initial transformation
7:42and separation
7:43into a pure and impure part
7:47so what is moving in the git
7:50in each phase when it is moving it is
7:52becoming more and more impure
7:55because all the essence or the
7:58nutrients
8:00is pulled out from that food
8:03all the pure stuff is pulled out and the
8:05impure is moving
8:08so
8:11it also controls the crucial direction
8:14of moving pure and impure fluids upwards
8:18very important thing okay which we have
8:20already discussed many times
8:23the pure fluids
8:25makes upwards journey and the impure
8:28fluids makes downwards journey
8:31and this happens
8:33at all stages of body body fluid
8:37production just like here i have given
8:39an example just like the
8:41water system in house we will discuss
8:44this part
8:46so because of this transformation spleen
8:49is always treated in any type of
8:52disorders of body fluids
8:55so let us take the example of our house
8:58itself so when the water comes to the
9:01house
9:02where is it it is in the ground floor
9:05okay either it comes through borbel or
9:09your municipality water connection
9:12now what is done
9:14to that
9:15water
9:16so we don't use it
9:18okay by enlarge we don't use the water
9:20directly first
9:22that water is sent upwards
9:26with the pump it is sent upwards
9:29and stored in the tank
9:31and from there
9:33the water is getting distributed to all
9:36the places
9:38the fresh water
9:40is first pumped up
9:43to the
9:44storage tank
9:45and from the storage tank that fresh
9:48water is getting utilized in different
9:50parts of our home like in different
9:52floors
9:54now but what is happening
9:57with the wastewater
9:59drainage
10:00sewage water
10:02from every floor it is collected and it
10:05is moving
10:06downwards
10:07if we don't keep a overhead tank for the
10:11sewage okay so whatever is
10:14getting
10:15the fresh water is there that is getting
10:18utilized and once it becomes a waste
10:20water we send it downwards to the sewage
10:24right
10:25so the same system is happening even in
10:28the body also
10:30so the first food the food comes
10:33and
10:35the goodness in that food is extracted
10:38and what is it doing
10:41it is
10:42the goodness
10:44all the nutrients
10:45is sent upwards
10:50to where upwards to the lungs and who is
10:54sending it upwards
10:56it is the spleen which is doing the
10:59job of extracting the
11:02nutrients
11:03and sending it upwards
11:05physically different organs are doing
11:07like stomach is doing small intestine is
11:10doing the tongue is doing the esophagus
11:12is doing all of that is in the front end
11:15but in the back end who is influencing
11:19all those things of the separation
11:22it is mr spleen who is influencing all
11:26the extraction of the nutrients from the
11:28body
11:29and then sending it
11:31upwards
11:33and once it goes upwards
11:35once again
11:36it is sent back down
11:38for the utilization and that part we
11:41will understand the next slide
11:44the lungs
11:47now what does lungs do
11:49lungs control the diffusing of the pure
11:52part of the body fluids
11:54coming from the spleen to the space
11:57under the skin
11:59this is an aspect of lungs diffusing
12:02function so it has two functions the
12:05first one is the diffusing function
12:07so
12:08lungs is in the upper part of the body
12:11right
12:12so all the nutrients is sent to the
12:15upper part
12:17and from there
12:18the downward moment happens
12:22so we have learnt because there is air
12:24pressure we constantly breathe
12:27right what is happening just like a
12:30air pump to the bicycle bicycle we put
12:33the pump right so the up and down
12:36movement creates the air pressure in the
12:38tube similarly
12:39our inhalation and exhalation creates
12:42that air pressure
12:44and because of that
12:46in the form of mist
12:48okay the fluids is sent the pure fluids
12:52is sent downwards
12:54and where does it send it is sent
12:58under the skin as a
13:01defensive we have learned this in the
13:03previous classes
13:06so this
13:08function is called as
13:11the diffusing function of the lungs
13:14and the next one is
13:16they also send some of the fluids down
13:19to the kidney
13:20and bladder
13:22this is an aspect of the lungs
13:24descending function
13:26say for example the lungs sends
13:30the defensive key
13:32under the skin say in the arms etc
13:34throughout the body
13:36this is not called as descending
13:38function of the lungs this is called as
13:40the diffusing function of the lungs
13:43whereas a mist
13:45it is sprayed
13:47under the skin
13:48as a defensive key
13:50but along with that it sends the fluid
13:53downwards to the kidney and bladder
13:55and this aspect is called as
13:58the descending function
14:01for the above two reasons the lungs are
14:03said to regulate the water passage so it
14:07is giving the water to the different
14:09parts of the body and also to the kidney
14:11and bladder because of this it is called
14:13the
14:14the water passage of the body so next
14:17comes the kidney okay bindu madam is
14:20asking a question
14:22okay she
14:23thought that the
14:25digestion happens in the mouth
14:28and absorption happens in the small
14:30intestine
14:32okay so but
14:34both the functions happen
14:38at all the stages
14:40in different proportions
14:44say in the mouth
14:45okay
14:46like alcohols etc those kind of things
14:50uh sweetness
14:52even that also gets to some extent gets
14:55absorbed
14:57starting from the tongue
14:59and in
15:00stomach also there are some kind of
15:02fluids which get absorbed
15:05but when it comes to small intestine
15:07major amount of absorption happens
15:10okay
15:11say minimum amount of digestion happens
15:14in small intestine major amount of
15:17absorption happens in small intestine
15:20but when it comes to
15:22mouth and stomach
15:24major amount of
15:26digestion happens
15:28minimum amount of absorption happens but
15:30it is not zero
15:32there is some amount of absorption which
15:34is happening in
15:36mouth and stomach
15:38so when it comes to large intestine
15:39there also there is absorption
15:42the digestion is minimum
15:44okay in large intestine the digestion is
15:47minimum
15:48maximum is the absorption water is
15:51getting absorbed and some of the
15:53vitamins also is also getting absorbed
15:56absorbed in
15:58large intestine
15:59with this we can say starting from mouth
16:02till anus
16:03both
16:04the dietitian
16:06and absorption is happening
16:09only thing is
16:10the proportion of it is
16:13different the digestion is maximum
16:15towards the beginning and minimum
16:17towards the end
16:18and the absorption is minimum towards
16:20the beginning and
16:22maximum towards the end
16:25okay when i say end it is si and li
16:27together
16:29okay hope this is clear
16:32okay next when we come to the kidney
16:38so kidneys are extremely important in
16:40the physiology of the body fluids
16:45what does it do
16:47so in the last class we understood
16:50that
16:51so lungs
16:52descends the fluids
16:54to the kidney
16:56but
16:57along that kidney also
17:00gives that moisture back to the lungs in
17:02the form of steam
17:05the steam is sent upwards say when you
17:08put water
17:10the from the falls the water falls the
17:12water comes downwards but when you heat
17:16it
17:17the water will
17:19the water vapors
17:21it goes in which direction
17:23the water vapors goes
17:25up the steam rises up
17:28the same phenomena is being utilized
17:30over here first they vaporize some of
17:34the fluids
17:36like these are all
17:38extremely important part to understand
17:40so pay full attention to it
17:43they first vaporize some of the fluids
17:47they receive and send them back
17:49to the lungs
17:51why
17:53it is to moisten the lungs and prevent
17:57they are getting too dry
17:59see now if the water is coming down
18:02say in the tank
18:04so
18:05let's say
18:07the tank empties because
18:10the entire
18:12movement is downwards
18:16but
18:18the lungs also needs fluids
18:20for itself
18:23right
18:24so it is sent in a different form
18:27i will take the uh no very famous
18:29example of heart
18:31the heart sends the blood to all the
18:34parts of the
18:36body
18:37now
18:39heart also requires blood for its own
18:43function
18:44even though the heart
18:46gives blood to all the organs
18:49heart also requires blood so there is a
18:52separate channel for it so some amount
18:54of the final blood goes from the
18:57arteries to the heart that we have we
19:00call it as coronary arteries
19:02so there is a system
19:04for
19:05the
19:07heart to utilize the blood it cannot
19:09just randomly utilize because it is
19:11dealing with the blood right just like a
19:14cashier
19:15in the bank
19:16just because the cashier is giving out
19:18money to everyone he cannot take the
19:20money as and when he requires
19:23okay i am i will give 1 lakh to the
19:25customer and say take 1 000 rupees as my
19:28salary does it work like that
19:30no
19:31whatever is
19:32to be given they give
19:35but how will the cashier get the money
19:37the cashier will get the money in a
19:39different form in the form of salary
19:42okay once a month there is a money
19:44deposited in the cashier's account
19:48right
19:48so same thing is happening
19:51in the lungs and kidney also
19:54so the lungs is giving all the
19:57fluids
19:58to
19:59all the organs
20:01but
20:02the lungs also require some fluid for
20:05its own functioning
20:06and who gives that thing
20:09the kidney gives it back to the lungs
20:12for for the lungs to function itself
20:14okay so
20:16first they vaporize some of the fluids
20:19they receive and send them back to the
20:21lungs to moisten the lungs and prevent
20:23it getting too dry so lungs sense it as
20:27a liquid form
20:29but the kidney cannot give
20:31it back to
20:32the lungs any form sorry in the liquid
20:34form
20:36because
20:37it has to send it upwards
20:40lungs is sending downwards
20:41but the kidney is supposed to send
20:43backwards
20:44right so it can only send by creating
20:49steam out of it so it creates the steam
20:52and the steam goes up and the lungs
20:54receives that steam and utilize the
20:58moisture
20:59okay
21:00furthermore the kidneys
21:03in particular
21:06kidney but in kidney particularly kidney
21:09young
21:11controls many stages of transformation
21:14of fluids
21:16so they these are the main things
21:19one is
21:21they provide the heat
21:23necessary for the spleen
21:25to transform body fluids
21:29for this reason the deficiency of kidney
21:32young
21:34nearly always results in a deficiency of
21:38splenium
21:40with consequent accumulation of fluids
21:44very important thing
21:46very very very important aspect when it
21:49comes to
21:50diagnosis so we will get back to this
21:52figure
21:54spleen is influencing the absorption in
21:56the entire git
21:58but who is influencing the spleen
22:01so it is the kidney yang which is
22:03influencing the spleen in the background
22:07so kidney has
22:09kidney
22:10in
22:22okay
22:23so now
22:25who what is helping the spleen
22:27it is
22:29[Music]
22:31the kidney arm
22:34is
22:35assisting the clean
22:38okay
22:39so
22:41and also it has many other functions
22:44we will discuss one by one i but i will
22:46say
22:47kidney young is also assisting the
22:50small intestine
22:53kidney young is also assisting
22:55the
22:58uv
22:59so which we will discuss so
23:02they provide the heat necessary for the
23:04spleen to transform body fluids for this
23:08reason a deficiency of okay we discussed
23:11this
23:12so what is kidney
23:14basically
23:16spleen is
23:17transforming the
23:19nutrients right we learned
23:22for any kind of transformation to happen
23:25what is required
23:27heat is required
23:30right it is the only element out of five
23:32element which transforms
23:34one thing to another i gave you an
23:36example of your finger if you put your
23:38finger in the fire it will get
23:40transformed but not in water or air
23:44okay so this fire
23:47two spleen
23:49comes from the kidney arm kidney young
23:51is the fire part
23:54the fire of the kidney
23:56induces heat
23:58or induces the fire in the spleen
24:01that is called as spleen young okay if
24:05the source
24:06kidney young is deficient then
24:09the spleen young which is the receiver
24:11will also be obviously deficient
24:14this is what it is being told here
24:17second
24:19they
24:19the kidney young assist the small
24:22intestine in its function of separation
24:25of body fluids into pure and impure
24:29so now the small intestine has to absorb
24:32the nutrients from the food
24:35there also it requires heat
24:38who gives that heat once again kidney
24:40young
24:42third
24:42they provide key to the bladder for its
24:45function of key transformation in the
24:48previous
24:49class we discussed
24:53that
24:55the urinary bladder receives
24:58the pure
24:59the small intestine sends the pure power
25:01to the urinary bladder
25:03and this urinary bladder has to
25:06separate the pure and impure the pure
25:09goes back
25:10and it get excreted as sweat and the
25:13impure goes back as
25:16the
25:16urine
25:18so for this transformation to happen
25:21who will give the
25:23heat
25:23once again
25:25it is
25:27the kidney young
25:29and fourth
25:32they assess the triple burner
25:33transformation and excretion of fluids
25:37so even the triple warmer mechanism gets
25:41assistance from the kidney
25:44so
25:45you see
25:46how important kidney young is
25:50it is an extremely important
25:53heat
25:54for the transformation
25:56separation and excretion of fluids
26:01so we understood
26:03the importance of kidney yam
26:06see now the kidney has to do so much of
26:09function
26:10like it is a mother of
26:12the in and as well as the young for the
26:15entire body
26:16so it has to constantly feed its
26:20no children something like a mother who
26:23is constantly feeding all the hungry
26:25children
26:26so what happens
26:28the kidney
26:29becomes
26:31weak
26:33so always
26:34in tcm we know that kidney is always
26:39excess or deficient
26:43efficient deficient
26:46kidneys
26:48so kidney is always deficient and the
26:52liver key is always excess okay we have
26:55learned this so this is the importance
26:57of kidney young and anybody who's you
27:00see the kidney yang
27:02if it is not treated over a period of
27:04time it will result into spleen young
27:07deficiency and their metabolizing
27:10ability will reduce automatically
27:13okay
27:16and
27:17this
27:18a very important the key which is coming
27:20from
27:22the young which is coming from the
27:24kidney is helping this
27:27key transformation bladder so i told if
27:30somebody is
27:31having
27:33lip um clear urination
27:36means the urine doesn't have any color
27:38light yellow color
27:40then that also shows that
27:43the transformation of key is not
27:45happening properly within the uv
27:48and who is responsible for that
27:51mainly
27:52the
27:53kidney yam so if you notice
27:56in the diagnosis part kidney on one of
27:58the symptom is
28:01clear urination
28:06so the
28:07next part
28:09the small intestine
28:11small intestine separates the fluids
28:13it receives from the stomach into clear
28:17so the small intestine separates good
28:20and bad
28:21okay and the
28:23bad part is sent to the li and where it
28:25is further separated
28:28which we have learned okay the si
28:30function of separating fluids is
28:32controlled by the action of kidney once
28:35again
28:36which provides key and heat necessary
28:39for the separation to take place
28:42so urinary bladder urinary bladder
28:45separates the fluids it receives into
28:47pure and impure part
28:49and it excretes urine by the power of
28:52key transformation once again which we
28:54discussed okay the key
28:57whatever the impure part was received
29:00into ub once again it has to separate it
29:03out send it as sweat and send it as
29:05urine for this it requires
29:08heat and that is also provided by
29:11kidney young
29:14so triple warmer
29:16so one of the
29:18mysteries
29:20out within the mystery it is further
29:22more mystery
29:25so it is also called as triple burner
29:28okay
29:29so what does it do
29:31it assists the transformation
29:34transportation and excretion of fluids
29:37at all the stages
29:40okay so we will first take up this we
29:42will see this figure and then
29:52so we can divide this into three parts
30:14so now
30:17in all the three
30:20parts three levels
30:23there is fire
30:26okay
30:38here also there is fire
30:47and here also there is fire
30:57now
30:58the fire of the bottom part
31:00where will it go
31:02natural direction is
31:05upwards
31:10the
31:12lower warmer fire
31:15it will go upwards
31:17and where will the middle warmer fire go
31:21that will also go upwards
31:23this is the
31:25middle warmer fire
31:29and where will the upper warmer fire go
31:31that will also go upwards
31:36upper warmer fire
31:39so now there is an accumulation of
31:42excess fire in the top
31:45because all the fires are going upwards
31:49now this fire
31:52cannot be used in the same form it
31:55requires the fire is required throughout
31:57the body
32:02everywhere it is required
32:04now but
32:05all the fire is going upwards
32:09so there should be some mechanism
32:12through which this fire is properly
32:14distributed
32:16in all the warmers
32:18right
32:20so there should be a proper
32:23distribution method
32:25the fire is
32:26utilized in
32:28all the warmers
32:31in
32:32as much as it is needed
32:36this
32:36mechanism
32:38of proper distribution of fire
32:42in all the three warmers
32:44is called as triple warmer
32:48okay
32:49so so that the fire
32:52doesn't become too much over
32:54here so this is the mechanism of triple
32:59warmer
33:00okay
33:01so now we will try to understand
33:03this what is being told
33:06so what does this triple warmer do
33:10so it assists the transformation and
33:12transportation and excretion of fluids
33:15at all the stages in all the three
33:18um
33:19burners or the three sections it takes
33:22care of it
33:23so in the simple sections
33:26chapter 8 part in the yellow
33:28emperor it says the triple burner is the
33:31official
33:33in charge of irrigation
33:36and it controls the water passage
33:39so along with the distribution of fire
33:41probably it takes care of the
33:43distribution of water also
33:46the upper burner assists the spleen in
33:49directing the pure fluids upwards
33:53and the lungs
33:54in dispersing them
33:57to the space under the skin so in the
33:59upper warmer we have
34:02lungs
34:03so what
34:05comes to the lungs is through spleen
34:08and
34:09so the upper warmer
34:11the upper burner helps in the spleen
34:14pulling the fluids upwards
34:17and
34:18the lungs to disperse them downwards
34:22under the skin
34:23for this reason the upper burner is
34:26compared with the mist in the first
34:30in the class where i was discussing
34:32about the lungs i have given this
34:33example like a spray bottle
34:35like if you are putting any perfumes etc
34:38the perfume comes as a mist and that is
34:41because of the
34:43pressure which is there within the
34:44bottle
34:45right in the same way the lungs has the
34:47pressure and because of that pressure
34:50this thing is spread as a mist
34:53and another important thing
34:55to understand here is
34:57say um
34:59i have discussed this
35:02part
35:03so let's say
35:05we have a
35:09container
35:10and there is fire
35:12given to the container
35:16and there is
35:18water
35:26now
35:27the
35:28fire is coming here
35:30but the
35:33water on the top is also getting heated
35:35how
35:40so when you touch the water
35:43the top surface is getting hot
35:46why it is because
35:48the warm water rises
35:50upwards
35:53and the
35:55cool water
35:56comes down
36:08so the water which is
36:10getting
36:13hot heated here
36:15so it will rise up
36:19and whatever water which is there over
36:22here
36:23which is
36:25not hot
36:26it will come down
36:28so in this way the entire
36:32and water in the container gets heated
36:36okay we we would have done these
36:38experiments in our school days
36:40so if there is a heat
36:44this kind of transformation is also
36:46getting utilized in
36:49the triple warmer
36:51because
36:53basically it is
36:54what is happening this circular circular
36:57movement is happening with water water
36:59is a fluid right
37:01what are we discussing
37:02that is also body fluids it is fluids
37:06and when you apply heat
37:08to the water
37:10so that water
37:12has to move upwards in different
37:18warmers the water has to move right so
37:20based on the fire which is in the bottom
37:24it sends upwards
37:26then once again if you apply fire
37:29it will send upwards
37:31cool down it will come downwards and
37:33allow it to cool down further it will
37:35come downwards
37:42so this kind of mechanism
37:44of
37:46upward movement downward movement based
37:50on its temperature
37:53triple
37:54warmer
37:56okay
37:58so i'll come back to the slide so the
38:01upper burner assists in directing the
38:04pure fluids upwards and the lungs in
38:06dispensing them to the space under the
38:09skin for this reason the upper burner is
38:11compared with the mist
38:12second the middle burner assists
38:15the stomach in its function of churning
38:18and turning the fluids
38:20and directing the impure part
38:23you know downwards
38:25for this reason the middle burner is
38:26compared with the multipool
38:29a reference to stomach's function of
38:31rottening and ripening what is happening
38:33in the stomach there is lot of because
38:35of the acid the food is getting rotten
38:38and ripened and because of that it is
38:40compared to muddy pool
38:43and in the lower burner assists the
38:45small intestine
38:49small intestine the burner the bladder
38:52urinary bladder and the kidney in their
38:56functions of transforming separation and
38:59excretion
39:00for this reason the lower burner is
39:02compared with the drainage ditch okay so
39:05all the
39:06drainage of the human body is mainly in
39:08the lower
39:10warmer the urine urinary excretion and
39:13the
39:14the stool excretion
39:17so this is about the triple
39:19burner
39:21stomach
39:23so
39:24even though
39:26in all these discussion stomach did not
39:28come up
39:30but
39:31it plays an important role
39:34why
39:35is because
39:38all the fluids or food first enters the
39:41stomach
39:43when we eat
39:44or drink where does it go it first
39:46enters the stomach
39:49and from there there are transformed and
39:51separated by spleen so it goes in
39:54but the energy which is
39:56given by the spleen is helping it to
39:59transform
40:01and we have this part we have discussed
40:04in terms of
40:05what food
40:06is liked by stomach and what food is
40:08liked by spain i just repeat it for
40:13the benefit of newcomers
40:15the stomach likes to be moist
40:18because always there is moisture in it
40:21right the acid is
40:23the stomach acid is moist moisture
40:26so it likes to be moist
40:27in contrast
40:29the spleen likes to be dry
40:32so if you do the opposite if you make
40:34the stomach dry and spleen wet there is
40:38lot of
40:39trouble in the body so you give what
40:42each of them likes
40:44the stomach likes moist kind of food so
40:47you give moist and slippery wet kind of
40:50food
40:51like rice oats etc
40:54and the dry foods are needed for the
40:57screen so anything which is dry
40:59so but there is only one entry to the
41:01mouth to the body through mouth
41:03either you have to put the dry food
41:06which is liked by the spleen or you have
41:08to put the moist food which is liked by
41:10the stomach
41:12so how do you satisfy both
41:14is by giving a balanced diet where it
41:17has both
41:19if you eat only dry stuff that also
41:22hampers your
41:23body if you eat only
41:25moist kind of food that also hampers
41:29so
41:30generally most of the thing
41:32we see is because of there is excess
41:35drying if there is excess dryness in the
41:37stomach it can lead to stomach in
41:40deficiency this is one of the important
41:42things that we see in diagnosis part
41:45okay
41:46so
41:47this was for today's session
41:51so any questions is welcome now
41:55sir
41:56can i ask you a question yes
41:59sir you were telling that
42:01kidney moistens the lungs right
42:06so if there is dryness in the lungs is
42:09it the kidneys are responsible for that
42:14kidney
42:16one of the main responsibility is kidney
42:19kidney in
42:20kidney in no sir that is what i wanted
42:23to confirm with that kidney in his
42:25responsibility
42:27along with that
42:28the secondary is lungs in
42:32okay make sure right it is and probably
42:34third if you want to think of the root
42:36then it is stomachane
42:38so three different burners
42:41on the top burner it is lungs
42:46lower burner it is kidney so between
42:48these three in you will have to figure
42:50it out
42:51okay
42:52okay
42:53well clarified sir thank you
42:59um i have a question i was just
43:01wondering
43:02does liver have any role in all of this
43:05or the river liver is not very important
43:09organ here
43:10see when it comes to blood
43:12liver is very important
43:14when it comes to body fluids it is not
43:17as important as
43:18say spleen
43:21okay okay
43:25okay next
43:26you also mentioned something about
43:29simple questions chapter eight what book
43:32were you referring to it is yellow
43:33emperor
43:35okay thank you sir
43:36so sometimes our foot is quite dry and
43:39this is the fingers between the fingers
43:41and the
43:41[Music]
43:43sides of the foot is very dry so this
43:45represents lower
43:47burner
43:49fluid deficiency so in that case kidney
43:52in can be given and along with that
43:55spleen can also be given right that
43:57could be the way of thinking
43:58it it can be so once again diagnosis i
44:02am not going into deeper aspects of it
44:05but your line of thinking is right so
44:07either you will have to think
44:09starting from the top water is being
44:12sent downwards from the lungs
44:14you will have to see the middle warmer
44:16stomach then the lower warmer kidney
44:19what is
44:20impacting okay
44:23it can be kidney and it can be sometimes
44:26lung seen it can be stomachane
44:30okay actually okay
44:32but thinking ways
44:34should be out
44:39right okay so at least the problem is
44:42reduced for no to very only three
44:45probabilities so
44:47there we will use our diagnostic
44:49abilities and then figure out one of
44:51them
44:52okay
44:55now
44:57condition of ascites
45:00where there is abdominal body fluid
45:02collection or
45:03edema when there is a fiddle edema i
45:06mean in the foot area
45:08on that when it happens
45:10can we
45:12say which
45:14organ which organ is creating the
45:16problem because
45:18we see in body fluid so many fellows are
45:20responsible according to this chart that
45:22you have put up yes so will this be a
45:25guidance now suppose i have
45:27in the foot i'm having accumulation of
45:29body fluid can i say the lower part of
45:31the triple warmer is not working or if
45:35it's in the abdomen is it the middle
45:36part of the triple warmer does it work
45:38like that
45:40see
45:41only some extent we can think of it in
45:43that way see water
45:46anywhere the pump is failure failing
45:48right so the water tendency is to come
45:51down and collect
45:52lay down correct right so
45:55first thing should come to us is kidney
45:59if not then we will have to see is
46:00because of the circulation of heart
46:03what is going wrong
46:05so this these are only pointers to start
46:08our this thing but not the no fixed
46:11formula can be given
46:13at this level
46:15okay there's one more now how we have
46:17the volume of blood fixed up five liters
46:20or whatever like that do we have a
46:22volume fixed up for the body fluids
46:24um
46:26see body fluids we take so much see when
46:29we go
46:30to a warm place
46:32we drink so much of
46:34water say we drink a tender coconut it
46:37is one liter
46:39so or
46:40three-fourth of a liter so
46:42there is a huge variation of
46:44this thing fluids which can come and go
46:48say i drink one liter of if there is a
46:50one liter of intake of coconut water and
46:53the next time when the person urinates
46:55they they will tend to urinate more so i
46:58don't know if there is a fixed limit
47:01of how much should be the uh
47:04or uh this thing probably uh sushila
47:07madam can answer better than
47:10uh my question is is there any fixed
47:13volume for this body fluids i understand
47:15cold places what do you do is you mean
47:17in totality no based upon its function
47:20based upon the external circumstances
47:22based
47:28is mainly in the extra uh cellular space
47:31and some of it is inside the cells so
47:34the cells in this there's a dynamic
47:35exchange right now going on so that is
47:38what decides our body fluid balanced so
47:42this what is um i i see here spleen
47:45lungs keep me looking at a triple warmer
47:48stomach
47:49maybe it is a skewed up understanding
47:52but these are all he's talking at the
47:53organ levels but again remember the
47:55vitamins also have cells so those cells
47:58are the ones who are living on this body
48:00fluids i mean on uh
48:06can we assume one third of body weight
48:08is water they say that means one third
48:11of body weight is this fluids only you
48:12know all together yeah yes yes
48:15definitely can that be making sense
48:18sure and you know the the association of
48:20these body fluids again with the heart
48:22with the heart don't forget and
48:24circulation
48:25body fluids are again also i mean you
48:27know they're responsible for the
48:28detoxifications they go all over and
48:31they're the ones that bring the blood
48:33overloaded with maybe fluid to the
48:35kidney for exclusion so like that if you
48:38look at it all this organs that he has
48:40mentioned here lungs has a function and
48:42also the treating fluids and also spleen
48:45has a function i don't know but maybe if
48:48we took a look at it in the terms of of
48:50storage of blood a lot of blood is
48:52stored in the spleen and therefore they
48:54probably has a transportation function
48:56is what tcm says i don't know that but i
48:59am understanding now the the sink second
49:01thing is urinary bladder definitely it
49:03is only a
49:04holding uh or main organ is kidney and
49:07the urinary bladder is holding you know
49:09holding the water and and when it is
49:11pushed out of the thing they're looking
49:13at the you know whether it has enough
49:14color and whether it's actually the
49:16concentration is mainly in the kidney
49:18and urinary bladder is just holding the
49:20organ so it has got really speaking
49:22allopathically no function
49:25of uh like you said no really excreting
49:27exhibition takes place in keeping so
49:29anyway it doesn't matter in their vague
49:31understanding two thousand five hundred
49:33years ago they understood physiology
49:35like that they at least they linked that
49:36kidney and urinary bladder are
49:38responsible for removing body fluids
49:40from the body
49:42and this triple bomber naturally your
49:43warmth of the body and how
49:45i mean you need more moisture for every
49:48function of the body it's a very
49:49fantastic
49:50figure i am so impressed with this
49:52krishnamaki i think i'll buy the yellow
49:55emperor my concept is beautifully
49:57explained by you i'm really feeling that
49:59you should get get the triple warmer
50:01because he's giving him if it's the
50:03english translation is so good then it's
50:05worth looking at it now actually
50:07speaking when i did my right up to six
50:09semester when i did these classes
50:13i mean you know friends i could not
50:15understand what the hell was happening
50:17especially when we have got such such
50:19close minds or other such such
50:21scientifically you know dogmas literally
50:24it was so hard for me to understand but
50:25now i'm beginning to sink this is the
50:28first time i'm so grateful to
50:29krishnamurti for having you know taking
50:32the trouble of reading it and trying to
50:33explain it in simple terms we really
50:36really have to be
50:37so grateful to krishna
50:49physiologically we have stuck his faces
50:51so i'm trying to expand my mind also i
50:53may be wrong i don't know because anyone
50:55can correct me but this is my
50:57understanding so
50:59i'm trying to say it you know a kidney
51:01but though they didn't understand so
51:02many things without any kind of
51:04instrumentation without any technology
51:06imagine they intuited the functional
51:09relationships between fluids the blood
51:12and where it goes how it goes and they
51:14and they have connected it to these
51:15signs and symptoms we need to see that
51:17we're making a very exciting journey
51:20let's be with you
51:21krishna will never leave you so you
51:22better not get lost thank you
51:25we will use your knowledge
51:26so much and also not that i'm trying to
51:29understand thank you very very much and
51:31for all the trouble
51:33really
51:34and also
51:48because some somebody are asking the
51:51yellow emperor
51:53don't purchase the book and no if you
51:55purchase the book don't expect to see
51:57these figures over there it is not there
52:00to start making a
52:02extension of fellow emperor book then
52:04with all your food
52:06i want to publish one book later
52:08sometime probably i will
52:10write up
52:11yeah great reading
52:13this is making sense so nice i i i
52:21[Laughter]
52:28actually
52:30you know i was very skeptical before
52:33joining you i know you know i asked you
52:35so many questions
52:37um
52:38because it was like you already
52:40mentioned you're a student and but
52:42you're trying to study and i was
52:44in my mind i was thinking okay what am i
52:46but you are
52:50it's like
52:51hard to
52:52give it in words but
52:54what we learned from so many i i have
52:57been learning and learning it has been
52:59many many years
53:01but what you have been teaching has
53:03opened up
53:04different dimensions of understanding
53:07this therapy it it's it's uh it's just
53:11wonderful it's just making me feel like
53:13oh my god you know how come when we were
53:15learning we didn't under we didn't try
53:17to even go in deeper we are just
53:19accepting but the way you have explained
53:22is something that uh that just gives so
53:25much insight to what you we already know
53:28thank you so much thank you ma'am and it
53:30is just a tip of an iceberg there is so
53:32much more to understand explore
53:35i am ready for the journey
53:39for me to explore okay so there is so
53:41much more to understand it will be
53:43fascinating only thing is it requires
53:45consistent
53:46effort
53:48to study and uh know to understand yes
53:51but even consistent study did not bring
53:54out what you have been
53:57going deeper and uh
53:59explaining to
54:01others also you know sometimes you
54:04people do understand themselves but to
54:06share is something
54:08it's it has to have a bigger heart to
54:11share the knowledge that you are
54:13actually finding in yourself very nice
54:16very appreciated
