THE HEALING TOUCH
The Triple Heater
Triple heater Meridian is also known as the triple warmer and, in Japanese, known as San Shokei.
The Triple Heater (or Triple Warmer) meridian, also known as San Shokei Triple Burner, is one of the twelve primary meridians in Japanese Finger Pressure Therapy.
It plays a crucial role in regulating the body’s energy and maintaining homeostasis.
This is a representation of a general overview of its functions and capabilities:
Functions of the Triple Heater Meridian
1. Regulates Ki (Energy) and Body Fluids:
• The Triple Heater is responsible for the movement and regulation of Ki (vital energy) and body fluids throughout the body.
• It helps to ensure that fluids are distributed evenly and that Ki flows smoothly, which is essential for maintaining balance and health.

2. Thermal Regulation:
• It regulates body temperature by managing the body’s internal heat and distributing it to the necessary areas.
• The Triple Heater is divided into three sections: Upper, Middle, and Lower. Each section corresponds to different parts of the body and their thermal functions:
• Upper Heater: This includes the heart and lungs, which are responsible for distributing energy and fluids to the upper body.
• Middle Heater: Includes the stomach and spleen, involved in digestion and transforming food into energy and nutrients.
• Lower Heater: Includes the kidneys, bladder, and adrenals. Your adrenal glands are endocrine glands located on top of your kidneys. They produce many important hormones, including cortisol, aldosterone and adrenaline. The adrenal hormones help regulate several bodily functions including metabolism, blood pressure and your body's response to stress.
Overall, the Triple Heater meridian is essential for maintaining the body’s internal balance and supporting its ability to adapt and protect itself. Its role in regulating energy and fluids makes it a key focus in both TCM and Shiatsu practices.
