what are the External pathogenic Factors that affect kids?
wind cold dryness damp heat summer heat lingering pathogenic factors
wind
sudden onset due to rapid progression, yang type disease. affect upper & outer parts of body.
wind regularly combines with other pathogenic factors —wind cold
cold
contracting or constricting. PAIN!!–cold consumption with diet
dryness
yang pathogenie–consume yin. LU and skin affected (commonly)…TX by moisten the Lus
Heat
yang, all heat signs= fever redness, more serious than cold.
summer heat
yang pathogenie—sudden and spiked high fever, seen with diarrehea —-symptons–overly bundled kids too–
damp
sticky discharge–tonify SP and drain damp in SP, nasal discharge
lingering pathogenie factor
very thick phlegm - persistent. When an illness is left untreated or inappropriate treatment the disease is prevented from running its natural course—partially treated disease left behind from original disease (the echo)
Antibiotics
poisens or kills the bacterial- the are very cold in natural they “eat up” the heat
emotional factors
they cannot restrain their emotions–usually other factors are involved–emotional tense environment, jealsouly to siblings, kids pick up on the subtle of the space in-between—supper sensitive, mon and dad aren’t good they won’t be either
what are the other facteors?
overstrain poor upbringing toxins hereditary birth trauma
overstrain
external pressure placed Upon them
ex: extra activities, eldest siblings taking care of youngest siblings
poor upbringing
parenting is fucking hard. no judgement–but nothing is put on our plate that we cannot handle.
Generally speaking under the age of 7 kids are happiest/ function well with clear boundaries.

environment, food, emotional toxins
hereditary
pass a disease to the child or a pepedency to the kids—asthma or eczema
womb toxin=when mom consumes drugs during pregnancy, fetal alcohol
