"EAT BREAKFAST LIKE A KING, LUNCH LIKE A PRINCE, AND DINNER LIKE A PAUPER." – ADELLE DAVIS
Did you know that your stomach functions best from 7:00 am to 9:00 am? That's when your metabolism is at its peak, making breakfast the ideal time to fuel your day! Now let's learn more about Chen Shi (辰時) - the 5th Division when the stomach meridian is in order and the stomach function is most active.
The Stomach Meridian
The Stomach Meridian is a long meridian on the front of the human body, running from the head and face, neck, chest, abdomen, sides of the navel, groin, front of the thighs, outer sides of the lower legs to the top of the foot. The Stomach Meridian transports qi and blood to the stomach, enabling it to function effectively in digesting food and extracting essential nutrients. This energy is then redistributed to various parts of the body through the Stomach Meridian, including the spleen and intestines.
Symptoms of Imbalance
As a meridian characterized by abundant qi and blood, the Stomach Meridian plays a crucial role in the circulation of qi and blood in the human body. It is said, 'Where the meridians pass, the treatment is delivered,（經絡所過，主治所及）’ indicating that the symptoms in areas traversed by the meridian are often closely related to the regulatory functions of that meridian. Therefore, issues related to the stomach meridian are not limited to gastrointestinal problems; many facial concerns such as dull skin, sallow complexion, or acne outbreaks may also stem from poor circulation or dysfunction of the Stomach Meridian. By regulating the Stomach Meridian to enhance the flow of qi and blood, these facial issues associated with the Stomach Meridian can be improved.
Moreover, insomnia may be linked to the stomach and Stomach Meridian. The stomach's function naturally moves downwards, and if the Stomach Meridian is blocked or imbalanced, causing the stomach qi to reverse and move upwards, it can affect sleep, hence the saying 'When the stomach is unsettled, rest is disturbed.（胃不和則臥不安）’
An obstruction in the Stomach Meridian can also affect emotional well-being. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the stomach and heart are interconnected through the meridians, and ailments in the stomach can be transmitted to the heart through these pathways. As the "heart governs the spirit,（心主神明）“ an obstruction in the Stomach Meridian may impact emotions, leading to symptoms such as restlessness, irritability, low mood, or anxiety.
