The functions of Taiyang Bladder
The Bladder stores and excretes urine, and performs necessary
functions for the production of urine. When things are wrong with
the Bladder there can be jealousy, suspicion, and the holding of
grudges.
The functions of the Bladder are:
Removal of water by Qi transformation
The dirty part of the fluids from the Small Intestine that is
passed to the Bladder is what is transformed into urine. The
Bladders function of transforming fluids requires the heat provided
by the Kidney Yang.
Therefore the Small Intestine and the Bladder are responsible for
the movement of fluids in the low Jiao. This is also the route
taken when disorders of the Heart effect the Bladder. When the
Bladder is deficient there will be copious clear urine. The San
Jiao and the Bladder also have relations because of their respective
functions of transforming fluids in the low Jiao. The San Jiao
makes sure the water passages are open and free in the low Jiao.
Effects dreams
“When the Bladder is deficient, one dreams of voyages.” (Spiritual
Axis).
Relations
with Kidneys
The Bladder gets the Qi and heat necessary for transformation from
the Kidneys. The Kidneys rely on the Bladder to excrete the dirty
fluids.
