Whether we like it or not society exists and society will have their opinions of us. 100% of the time, public perception of us is different than our true selves. When we go out into public, the Triple Warmer (also known as The Triple Burner, Triple Energizer, Triple Heater, or San Jiao) comes alive and plays a role in how we present ourselves to the world.

Once in the small intestine, the food goes through the maze of intestinal flora (probiotics) and villi (micro-absorbers) on its way down the digestive system. The small intestine’s job is to absorb nutrients and allow waste products and other non-helpful parts to simply continue on the journey out of the body. Problems occur when the flora becomes improper and when the villi get misshapen; creating holes in the wall of the small intestine. This allows what should be eliminated to remain in the system where they are now able to create havoc and need to be detoxified. […]
