Colon Health
The colon, also known as the large intestine, is pivotal in water and nutrient absorption from partially digested food. Structurally, it is divided into distinct segments: ascending, transverse, descending, and sigmoid (Ley et al., 2006, Nature). Optimal colon function is characterized by regular, pain-free bowel movements without complications such as bloating or bleeding.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the colon is classified as a Fu (Yang) organ, intricately linked with lung energy, particularly active between 5-7 a.m. (Cheng, 1987, Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion). Emotional states like sadness and grief are theorized in TCM to influence colon health, suggesting a psychosomatic dimension to gastrointestinal well-being (Wang et al., 2017, Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine). However, further empirical research is needed to validate the correlation between emotional states and colon functionality (Chen et al., 2017, World Journal of Gastroenterology).
