five biles are:



    The digestive bile. If you divide the stomach into three parts, this bile resides in the upper. Its function is to refine and digest food and to strengthens the other four biles.


    The colouring bile that resides in the liver, whose function is to give colour to the parts of the body.

    The accomplishing bile that resides in the heart, whose function is to bring up thoughts, worries, anxiety, anger etc.

    The sight bile that resides in the eyes, whose function is to allow us to see. If it weakens, our sight also weakens. While this bile is healthy, we have perfect sight.

    The pigmenting bile that resides in the skin, whose function is to colour the skin. When we have a bile sickness our skin changes colour and becomes first yellow then black.
