The Triple Energizer has 5 main functions:

Distribute Yuan qi to enable digestion

The Triple Energizer spreads Yuan qi from the ming men to the 5
yin and 6 yang organs, from which it enters the 12 channels and
emerges at the source points Yuan qi acti!ates all physiological
functions of the "ody and pro!ides heat for digestion and
transformation of food #n this way, the TE a$ects digestion
Ensure the smooth movement of qi
The TE controls the mo!ement of !arious types of qi at !arious
stages of energy production, in particular ensuring that the
!arious types of qi are %let out& in a smooth way
The 'pper (urner lets out )ei qi *directing it to the +ung,
The -iddle (urner lets out .utriti!e qi *directing it to all the
organs,
The +ower (urner lets out (ody /luids *directing them to the
(ladder,
Distribute Fluids via the Upper Burner
The 'pper (urner is li0e a -ist
The 'pper (urner is in charge of distri"uting 1uids all o!er the
"ody "y the +ungs in the form of 2ne !apor This is an aspect of
the +' dispersing function
Digest Food and Drink via the Middle Burner
The -iddle (urner is li0e a -aceration 3ham"er or (u""ling
3auldron
The middle "urner4s 5o" is to digest and transport food and drin0
and to transport the nourishment e6tracted to all parts of the
"ody
Excretion via the Loer Burner
The +ower (urner is li0e a 7itch The +ower (urner4s 5o" is to
separate the essences of food into a clean and dirty part and to
e6crete the dirty part
