Accessory Organ of the Digestive System
Each accessory organ of the digestive system — including the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder — plays a vital role in digestion. These organs secrete substances like bile and enzymes that aid in breaking down food and absorbing nutrients.
In TCM, the Liver governs the smooth flow of qi and digestion, while the Spleen transforms and transports nutrients. Dysfunction in accessory organs may reflect in emotional or digestive imbalances.
At Phases Chinese Medicine Clinic, we take a whole-body approach to digestive care, supporting accessory organ function naturally through herbal formulas and acupuncture.
