The Protective Energy is the energy responsible for resisting and combating External Pernicious Influences when they invade the body. It moves within the chest an abdominal cavities, and travels between the skin and the muscles. This energy regulates the sweat glands and pores, and moistens and protects the skin and hair.(The Web that has no Weaver, Understanding Chinese Medicine, 1985, p. 39). 1, record 1, English, - Protective%20Energy

L'Énergie Protectrice, c'est l'ardeur des aliments. Elle est d'une nature trop fluide pour être contenue dans les vaisseaux, aussi circule-t-elle dans la peau et entre les fibres de la chair. Elle se sublime dans les membranes du diaphragme pour se répandre dans les cavités thoraciques et abdominales. (Le diagnostic en médecine chinoise, 1983, p. 29). 1, record 1, French, - %C3%89nergie%20Protectrice
