手少陽三焦經

何為三焦：

三焦是中醫學範疇中六腑之一，又名「決瀆之官」，為上焦、中焦、下焦三者的統稱；對應的臟為心包。「焦」古作「膲」，為皮下、肌間紋理之意。過去英文意譯成「Three warmer」、「Triple warmer」、「Triple burner」，理由是與身體代謝有關。

上焦

位於橫膈膜以上的部份，包括心、肺。所謂「上焦如霧」，指的是上焦的宣發功能，令血氣及津液如霧氣般散發全身。

中焦

位於橫膈膜以下，肚臍以上的位置，包括脾、胃。當脾胃運化及腐熟食物時，水穀會被分解消化，如化為泡沫的過程，故稱「中焦如漚」，其中「漚」是指中焦的消化功能。

下焦

位於肚臍對下，包括肝腎、小腸、大腸及膀胱。「下焦如瀆」，指的是下焦排泄濁物的功能。

What is triple warmers (San Jiao)

San Jiao is a term found in traditional Chinese medicine. Viewed by Chinese Medicine as the passage of heat and fluid throughout the body. San Jiao has been translated as "triple heater," triple warmer (or three warmers)," and "triple burner," the latter of which is probably favored because of the involvement of the San Jiao in metabolism.
