And what is Triple Burner??

Triple Burner is a special concept in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and there is no corresponding organ in Western Medicine. Suggestions have been made that the Triple Burner’s function may be related to the endocrine system and metabolism of the body.

Triple Burner is a collective term for the Upper, Middle and Lower Burner. Literally in Chinese, “Triple Burner” actually means “three parts which burn or scorch”.

What you should do: The body’s homeostasis is being adjusted and enzymes are replenished at this time. So it is recommended to hydrate the body to support metabolism and repair. Also sleeping and relaxing during this time is important so the body can conserve energy for the following day.

Interesting fact: Emotions that are being processed during this time are feelings of hopelessness, confusion and paranoia. It is hence recommended to chill out and relax during this time.
