Stomach (Chinese medicine)
Stomach, a concept from traditional Chinese medicine as distinct from the Western medical concept of stomach, is more a way of describing a set of interrelated parts than an anatomical organ.
The Stomach and its paired organ, the Spleen, are associated with the element of earth and the emotions of anxiety and stress.[1]
