Body fluid is defined as all normal liquid in the body. It is formed through the digestive function of the stomach and spleen, and is commonly referred to as "Jinye" in TCM.
Jinye can be broken down into two parts: Jin and Ye.
Jin is characterized by being thin, clear, easily mobile, moistening, and an ability to permeate the blood vessels. Ye is turbid, thick, slow moving, nourishing, and generally enters the joints, viscera, brain and marrow.
Jin and Ye can both transform into one another, and distribution is accomplished by the following organs:
- Spleen: transfers fluid up to the lungs
- Lung: distributes fluid throughout the body
- Kidney: distributes fluid via the function of evaporating and sending up the clear and sending down the turbid
- San Jiao: Passageway for distributing body fluids
