Pakua

Fire relates to the heart itself, but does the triple warmer relate to the trigram heaven among the eight forces?

Title change

I propose that the title of this article be changed to Triple Burner (or some variant of the term). In my experience, this is the more common name in english usage. I am not proposing that this is the case for all related concepts: I more often hear qi, dantien, lao gong, and of course yin and yang over any translations of the terms. But in my experience, Triple burner is the prefered term for the organ/meridian. Shaggorama 05:49, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced

There isn't a single reference cited. I'll dig out my Porkert and paraphrase from there, but unless we can get some cites for a lot of what is here already, most of it will have to go and the article will be much shorter. --Bradeos Graphon Βραδέως Γράφων (talk) 15:37, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, sorry about that, as the original author I've written up a blog post with the context surrounding it. There are some references on my blog post to books and authors who cover this entry-level TCM concept stuff, but at this point all I can do is wave a copy of _Zang Fu_ by Jeremy Ross and _Foundations of Chinese Medicine_ by Giovanni Maciocia and say, that's how they're described in the literature.

Lack of references is still a major problem. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 08:04, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WHO?

2nd para: "The current WHO standard term is "Triple Energizer..."

World Health Organization? Could we get this acronym expanded, please? -- Mwanner | Talk 01:13, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Waffly

It's hard to tell exactly what the term means, especially from the opening paragraph, which ought to be a clear-cut summary. 109.157.79.50 (talk) 01:57, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Element?

It would be Water or Fire I think. --77.2.188.127 (talk) 08:46, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Interstitium

There are several articles on the internet discussing parallels between the interstitium and the San Jiao channel... Might this be worth mentioning in the WIkipedia article? It wouldn't be independent research, since there are a good number of quotable sources... 151.165.212.93 (talk) 16:56, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
