Tripa
The bodily energy Tripa (Bile humor) is responsible for the heat principle in the body. All fire aspects, meaning the fundamental thermodynamics, as well as the body`s nutrition and digestion, form its main area of activity. The main location of this bodily energy is between the navel and the heart.
Tripa is described as being:

slightly oily,
sharp/quickly acting,
hot,
light,
malodorous,
purgative and
moist.

The symptoms of excess Tripa is oily face, hair and body; fever and manifestation of infections (sharpness); the quality of lightness manifest as different stages of fever, which produce bad odour to the body, diarrhea and sweat.
Bile is sharp and hot by nature, therefore similar conditions aggravate it: excessive intake of pungent, sour and salty foods, alcohol, meat or fat; anger, pollution, exposure to heat, strenuous activities and physical injury.
The general functions of balanced Tripa are to help enhance hunger and thirst, to assist in digesting ingested food and metabolism, to generate body heat, to clear the complexion as well as to enhance courage and intelligence.
 
Five types of Tripa:

Digestive Tripa is located between the digested and undigested site. It can be equated with the “digestive heat” and therefore is extremely important for maintaining a healthy body. It digests food, separates nutrient from the waste and generates body heat. It also assists in the proper functioning of the remaining four types of Tripa, and promotes their strength.

Colour-transforming Tripa is located in the liver and transforms the colours of all the bodily constituents. Through it, the blood becomes red; the bile flow becomes yellow, etc.

Accomplishing Tripa is located in the heart and induces courage, pride, intelligence, and willpower, therefore providing the necessary powers of assertion and self-confidence in achieving the corresponding wishes and goals. In the negative sense, however, this can develop into an overestimation of one`s own abilities and pride.

Visual Tripa is located in the eyes and enables one to perceive forms.

Complexion-clearing Tripa is located in the skin and is responsible for good and lustrous complexion of the skin and its elasticity.

If intake of yogurt, cold water, meat of wild animals, foods that have cool qualities improve conditions; and the intake of warm, rick and nutritious food like meat, butter, alcohol or any other pungent, sour or oily food worsen condition, indicates that disorder is caused by Tripa.
