Function and Significance: The San Jiao meridian regulates the body's water metabolism and fluid distribution across the three burners (upper, middle, and lower). It plays a key role in maintaining homeostasis, including temperature regulation, fluid balance, and Qi distribution. The San Jiao also supports the immune and lymphatic systems.
- Nervous and Endocrine System
Correlation: The
San Jiao influences the autonomic nervous system, particularly in
regulating the body’s metabolic processes, including the thyroid and
adrenal glands.
- Additional Insight: GSM elaborates on the San Jiao’s
role in balancing the autonomic nervous system and its connection to the
endocrine system, highlighting its influence on the body’s overall
metabolic and immune functions.

- Location: 2 cun below the umbilicus on the
anterior midline.
- Tonification Point: TW-4 (Yangchi)
- Supplemental Acupuncture Points:
- TW-5 (Waiguan): Located on the dorsal aspect of
the forearm, influencing the body's thermoregulation and fluid balance,
which are functions closely tied to the Spinal Galant Reflex.
