PC 2 functions

heart, chest, lung problems | cough

PC 3 functions

Heat in the nutritive and xue level

PC 4 functions

Heat in the nutritive and xue level | bleeding (xi cleft)

PC 5 functions

Heat in the nutritive and xue level qi stagnation and phlegm in the heart and pericardium mental disease

PC 6 functions

``` Heat in the nutritive and xue level benefit heart, chest, and stomach descend rebellious qi sedative - stops pain motion sickness ```

PC 7 functions

Heat in the nutritive and xue level ghost point throat/tongue clear heart fire

PC 8 functions

Heat in the nutritive and xue level relieve swelling and stop itchiness halitosis mouth/tongue sores

PC 9 functions

Heat in the nutritive and xue level open orifices heart pain and angina hypertension

difference between PC 6 and PC 5

they both expand the chest but PC 6 is more of a sedative and PC 5 is more to open the channel for stagnation and mental disease

difference between PC 7 and HT 7

they are both for the heart, chest, and mental disease PC 7 is more for heart fire (does not tonify qi) HT 7 is more for tonifying heart blood and qi
