According to *Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun* (Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Symptoms of All Diseases): When the functions of the five Zang organs are harmonious, Ying Qi (Nutritive Qi) and Wei Qi (Defensive Qi) circulate smoothly. When Ying Qi and Wei Qi circulate smoothly, body fluids flow freely. Even if one drinks large amounts of water or liquids, it will not cause disease.
