While the brain is perceived as the core of bodily information, it is the Channels and Organ Networks that nurture and protect it. Accordingly, herbs that support the spiritual, cognitive and sensate life of the body must harmonize the relationship between the Heart and Kidney, and at the same time support the subordinate roles of the Spleen, Lung and Liver.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWesterners commonly understand the root of sensory, emotional and mental life to be the integrative function of the Central and Autonomic Nervous Systems, including the brain, spinal cord and the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nerve roots and ganglia. In recent years, the concept of mind has broadened beyond the model of nerves and synapses. The existence of neuropeptides circulating throughout the body suggests that the mind has escaped from the confines of the brain and spinal cord into the entire body.
