Organs Affected - Liver and Spleen

The response of the liver and spleen is to become stronger in order to supply more energy to the muscles, fascia, and tendons. This energy is made available by converting the jing, or sexual energy, of the body into organ qi. This process is directed to the spleen and liver, causing these organs to increase their function, which means an increase in organ qi.
