Heart fire spreading heat to the small intestine

心火移热于小肠 〔心火移熱於小腸〕 xīn huǒ yí rè yú xiǎo cháng

Effulgent heart fire affecting the small intestine‘s function of separating the clear and the turbid. The heart and small intestine stand in exterior-interior relationship to each other. When there is effulgent heart fire, the heart can pass on the heat to the small intestine, causing short voidings of reddish urine, burning pain on urination, or blood in the urine, urinary diseases often being associated with the small intestine (see small intestine). This pattern is the principal manifestation of the exterior-interior relationship between the heart and the small intestine (see heart is connected with the small intestine).
