Three jiaosThe identification of disease according to the Three Burners (三 焦) was first described by Wu Ju Tong (吳鞠通, 1758-1836) in his book "A Systematic Identification of Febrile Diseases". The system is often combined with Four Stages theory when diagnosing and treating an externally contracted disease caused by a wind-heat pathogen. The disease will be diagnosed and understood according to its location within the three burners. This system is used within the practice of Chinese herbal medicine, rather than acupuncture or other Chinese medicine modalities. Note that San Jiao theory differs slightly from the San Jiao organ, which is described by Chinese Medicine as the passage of heat and fluid throughout the body. Additional recommended knowledgeThe three burners are most commonly referred to by their respective names:
Upper JiaoThe Upper Jiao refers to the upper part of the body, and includes the Heart, Lung, and Pericardium organs. Patterns that affect the upper burner include:
Middle JiaoThe middle jiao refers to the midsection of the body and includes the Spleen, Stomach, Gall Bladder and Liver organs.
Lower JiaoThe lower jiao refers to the lower section of the body and includes the Small and Large Intestines, the Kidneys and the Urinary Bladder.
