Overview

Also known as a San Jiao, this meridian is not tied to a specific organ in the body. Rather, it helps regulate all the organs and energy. It is often referred to as the organ with function but no form.

Recently, however, scientists have discovered a new organ-like structure in the body called the interstitium, which is a network of chambers attached to the major organs of the body. This discovery is leading many people to believe that the interstitium is indeed the triple warmer meridian. It’s clear that the interstitium does share a number of similarities with the triple warmer, most notably that they both assist with the transportation of fluids throughout the body.

Function

In addition to controlling transformation and transportation within the body, the triple warmer is also said to regulate our stress and immune system responses. In our stressful modern lives, it is more common to have excess heat in the triple warmer meridian, leading to excessive activation of sympathetic (stress) response and setting the stage for chronic inflammation.
