The Gall Bladder controls the capacity to make decisions, giving us courage and initiative and when it is lacking or otherwise impacted, symptoms of timidity, discouragement, and depression can manifest.
The Large Intestine in TCM receives food and drink from the Small Intestine.
The Small Intestine supports the Spleen organ system by receiving food and liquid from the Stomach, and sending nutrients to the Spleen for transportation and waste to the Large Intestine and Bladder for excretion.
The Stomach is in charge of receiving the food that we eat as it travels down the first part of the digestive tract, starting the digestive process of breaking down food and extracting usable nutrients and then sending the chyme to the intestines.
