CORE DEFINITION

The brain, marrow, bones, vessels, gallbladder, and uterus (womb). They are hollow in form like fu organs, but store essence like zang organs, and do not follow the conventional exterior-interior relationships of the viscera. They are most closely related to the kidney (prenatal essence).

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Deep hardware maintenance. These organs involve the fundamental substances of life (intellect, hematopoiesis, reproduction). In treating diseases of these parts (e.g., brain atrophy, osteoporosis), routine regulation of the spleen and stomach (postnatal) is often insufficient; one must directly address the 'prenatal' system (replenishing essence and marrow).

Anchor fast decisions

In Chinese medicine, the brain, marrow, bones, vessels, gallbladder, and uterus are called the 'extraordinary fu organs': they are similar in form to fu (hollow organs) but function like zang (storing essence without discharging). The mechanism is a special storage-discharge structure between the viscera.
