How to link the 5th Yang Organ-The Bladder to the Yin Organs

Hey, I am back to the pageant of How to link the 5th Yang Organ-The Bladder to the Yin Organs. Today I'm going straight into the TCM perspective of the bladder because of the following reasons:

  • Backing up closely exterior-interiorly
  • Transfer and never store
  • Congested but not filled thoroughly
with the TCM kidneys.  The Bladder is also a Yang Organ with tubular characteristics.  The TCM Kidneys and Bladder are correlated biologically as the Kidneys are linked with the urinary bladder by the 2 ureters (Muscular tubes) forming the urinary system.
As such, the urinary bladder is a muscular sac, situated in front of the large intestine right in the pelvis with a direct opening to the urethra controlled by 2 sphincters to excrete the turbid urine out of the body.  There is a little difference between the male bladder to that of the female one.  There are 2 urethral sphincters in the male bladder, one called the: 
  • Internal Urethral Sphincter
and other : 
  • External Urethral Sphincter
Let's talk a little on the External Urethral Sphincter because it's this sphincter that you and your central nervous system can relax it and let the urine goes out of the body.  Or likewise, you just say "Hey, hold it until I'm convenient to pass out the urine at my convenient place and time."
However, there is only one external sphincter in the female bladder because they don't need the other internal sphincter biologically.  We will discuss further on this sphincters as when necessary.

The Bladder Anatomy

Biological Function


1) In the TCM perspective, the water metabolisation can only effectively lubricate the entire system after complete utilisation by the 3 Yin organs :
  • TCM LUNG
  • TCM SPLEEN
  • TCM KIDNEYS
to raise the CLEAR nutrients and finally return to the TCM Kidneys.
Next, this remaining fluid would further gasify by the TCM Kidney's Qi for water re-absorption into the body and the turbid fluid would then flow downward via the ureters to the Bladder as urine.
So this is a very important point in proving the 4 necessary vital materials of the human body constitution to achieve Yin Yang equilibrium in that sense, namely:
  • Blood
  • Fluid
  • Qi 
  • Essence
in the TCM perspective.
So this is the direct and inverse proportion relationship between the urine quantity as well as quality with the body fluid.  
  • When the body fluid is insufficient, then urine quantity is proportionally lesser.  
  • On the contrary, when urine quantity is more, then it would lose the body fluid equilibrium pathologically.
2) After the water re-absorption in the Kidneys, the turbid urine would be lower via the ureters to be stored in the bladder till the normal capacity.  Then the 2 sphincters would open to allow urine to flow out through the urethra.  All these are achieved as a result of the proper gasification by the TCM Kidneys Qi
I quote from the Emperor's Interior Sutra:
{Whenever the TCM Bladder is blocked, it leads to acute urinary retention. On the contrary, when it becomes uncontrollable, it will lead to incontinence} Unquote. 

Therefore the condition of the TCM Bladder is closely associated with TCM Kidneys as they back up each other exterior-interiorly.  And very often,  by strengthening the TCM Kidneys would solve many urinary related problems with the Bladder.





Best of all,
