the exterior
the space between the skin and muscles

Lungs defensive qi portion
the exterior
skin, muscles and channels
the exterior
the interior
internal organs
sudden chilliness that occurs when we fall ill with a cold
“aversion to cold”
aversion to cold 'fever' aching body stiff neck floating pulse

cold
slight or no fever sweating aversion to wind slight body aches floating slow pulse thin white tongue coating
exterior empty pattern
usu in a person that has a tendency to deficiency of qi or blood

swelling of joints
exterior obstruction from damp
damp bi

disappearance of aversion to cold
and onset of aversion to heat
change from exterior to interior

emotional stress
overwork
diet

internal full heat
etiology of full heat
emotional problems

tongue: think white coating
empty cold
deficiency cold
yang deficiency
etiology of yang deficiency
excessive physical work
diet (inadequate consumption of hot foods)
excessive sexual activity (kidney yang)
internal cold injuring yang
feeling cold cold limbs a dull pale face no thirst listlessness sweating loose stools clear abundant urination a deep slow or weak pulse pale tongue with thin white coating
empty cold
yang deficiency
fever with aversion to cold no sweating headache stiff neck aches throughout the body irritability and thirst
cold on the exterior - heat on the interior
person has preexisting condition of interior heat and is
invaded by wind cold
aches throughout the body (exterior cold)
irritability and thirst (interior heat)

heat above- cold below
heat tends to rise
spleen yang deficiency
but person feels generally cold but has a red face and thirst
combination of hot and cold pattern
kidney yang deficiency and damp heat
combination of hot and cold pattern
combination of hot and cold pattern
extremely common situation in practice
false heat and false cold
tongue diagnosis is useful
tongue body color nearly always shows true condition
red= heat
pale= cold
false heat and false cold
these are not the same as deficiency heat or deficiency cold which arise from def of yin or yang
false heat and false cold the appearance is false, there is no heat or cold

empty condition
condition characterized by an emptiness of the upright qi with the presence of a lingering pathogenic factor that the upright qi is not fighting effectively
full-empty condition

collapse of yin
chilliness cold limbs weak breathing profuse sweating with oily sweat no thirst frequent profuse urination or incontinence loose stools or incontinence minute deep pulse pale wet swollen short tongue
