Qi and Blood: Understanding the Spleen and Stomach Meridian
Have you ever felt tired, irritable, or low on energy—even when you’re eating well and sleeping enough? Sometimes a healthy routine isn’t enough, and the reason lies deeper in the way your body processes food and distributes energy.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), qi is the essential life force that fuels all activity in the body, while blood nourishes tissues and organs. These two forces depend on each other, and both must flow smoothly through the body’s meridians—energy channels that connect organs and systems.
What the Spleen and Stomach Meridian Does
In TCM, the Spleen and Stomach Meridian plays a central role in transforming the nutrition from food into qi and blood. It is considered the source of a healthy energy supply that fuels every organ and system.
The stomach receives and begins breaking down food, while the spleen extracts its valuable essences and turns them into qi and blood. A strong, balanced spleen and stomach ensure that nutrients are absorbed effectively, giving your body the energy it needs to function well.
What Happens When This Meridian Is Blocked
When the flow of qi and blood through the spleen and stomach meridian is disrupted, the whole body may begin to feel the effects. You might experience:
Persistent fatigue or low energy
Poor appetite or bloating
Indigestion or nutrient absorption issues
Mood swings or low motivation
This happens because your digestive system is less effective at turning food into usable qi and blood, which means less fuel for your organs and muscles.
How This Meridian Affects Overall Balance
The spleen and stomach serve as the foundation for qi and blood production. When this meridian is functioning well, it provides steady energy that supports circulation, organ function, immune strength, and emotional balance. If it’s weak or blocked, other parts of your body may struggle to get the energy they need, leading to slower internal processes and discomfort.
Natural Ways to Support Your Spleen and Stomach Meridian
Traditionally, TCM practitioners use acupuncture or acupoint massage to help unblock meridians and improve qi flow. A gentle stomach massage around the navel, performed in a clockwise direction with warm hands, can help stimulate circulation and support digestion.
Start by warming your hands, then massage the area around your belly button for about 10 minutes, moving in circles to encourage comfortable flow.
