The back is a holographic microcosm of the whole human body centered on the spine, and the five internal organs of the human body can find corresponding areas in the back, such as the upper part of the back corresponds to the lungs and heart, the lower part of the back corresponds to the spleen, stomach, liver, and gall bladder, and the waist corresponds to the kidney, bladder, large intestine and small intestine.

How important it is to take care of your back
When it comes to the idiom "tiger back bear waist", many people will have a burly and sturdy figure in their minds. However, due to aging, back fat gradually accumulates to form a "tiger's back", resulting in blockage of meridians, which is not necessarily healthy.
As the saying goes, "one inch thinner back, ten years longer", it is difficult to buy old and thin, which shows the importance of maintaining the back.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, in the middle of the back is the Du Mai, the Yang Qi of the whole body. On both sides of the back is the part of the foot sun bladder meridian, the bladder meridian has the most yang qi, and it is in phase with the kidney meridian, the kidney is the main water, so the bladder is metabolized by the water of the whole body through the general canal. The bladder meridian is also closely related to other organs, such as the lungs, yin, heart, diaphragm, liver, gall, spleen, stomach, sanjiao, large intestine, small intestine, and bladder are all on the bladder meridian and are distributed on both sides of the Du vein.
The so-called "acupuncture" is the acupoint of transfusion and infusion, which plays an important role in the maintenance and treatment of viscera. The bladder meridian is the largest way for the human body to dehumidify and detoxify, so the back is the main hub of the whole body's qi and blood.
