Joints are the area where __________ and ___________, ______________ and ____________ converge.

What is the only aetiology for Bi Syndrome?
Climate
What is a successful treatment plan for Bi syndrome?
Expel pathogenic factor as well as nourish blood and yin
Characterized by pain that moves around the body from joint to joint, reduced mobility, pain and stiffness, due to wind invasion is what syndrome?
Wind Bi (Wandering Bi Syndrome)
Characterized by soreness and swelling, heaviness and numbness, affects muscles and joints, is fixed in one position but may affect multiple locations, worse in damp weather is what syndrome?
Damp Bi (Fixed Bi Syndrome)
Severe pain in joint or muscle, reduced mobility, typically unilateral, better for application of warmth/moxa is what syndrome?
Cold Bi (Aching Bi Syndrome)
Only occurs with long standing retention of external pathogens, especially prone when background of yin xu, pain, heat and inflammation in joint, redness, swelling and reduced mobility, severe pain both to palpate and move is what syndrome?
Heat Bi
Persistent obstruction of channels leads to retention of body fluid, overtime this condenses and becomes phlegm, which further obstructs channels and joints, prolonged obstruction cause muscular atrophy, swelling and deformity of joints, repeated invasion and retention of external pathogens will lead to blood stasis and that will cause significant stiffness, constant and severe pain that originally started as intermittent pain triggered by environment, is what syndrome?
Bone Bi Syndrome
Aching, stiffness or hyper flexion and instability with phlegm build up in joints, creating swelling is what syndrome?
Liver and Kidney Xu
