Q

Qi stagnation and blood stasis

A

(usually seen together)
Causes:
Since LV promotes free flow of Qi, Qi stag/blood stasis have close relationship with the LV’s physiological Fx.
Since the HT dominates blood and vessels, disfunction of the HT may lead to blood stag, which in turn leads to Qi stag.
Gen. Signs/Sx:
distention, fullness, pain, purplish discoloration & rashes, masses, etc.

Q

Qi not managing the blood

A

Cause:
Qi is def. and can’t control blood in vessels (may lead to reckless bleeding)
Signs/Sx:
nose bleeding, vomiting blood, skin blotches, blood in stool & urine, uterine bleeding

15
Q

Qi collapses following blood

A

during severe hemorrhage, when large volume of blood is lost, Qi follows the blood and leaves the body. Thus, collapse of both blood and Qi will be seen.

16
Q

Def. of both Qi and blood

A

Cause:
Deficiency of one leading to deficiency of the other.
Signs/Sx:
mixture of Qi def. and blood def. signs/Sx

17
Q

Qi & blood can’t nourish channels and network vessels

A

Cause:
Qi & blood insufficient
Signs/Sx:
numbness, difficulty with body movement, dry skin, itchiness, problems with development of muscles and nails

18
Q

Abnormal metabolism of BF

A

SP/ST- transportation & transformation function
LU- descending & dispersing function
KD/(UB)- Qi transformation & ascending function
LV- promoting free flow of Qi function
SJ- regulatory function

Disfunction of these may lead to abnormal metabolism of BF

19
Q

Deficiency of BF

A

Causes:
Pathogenic dryness or heat, fire, high fever, febrile disease
Profuse sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, excessive urination, loss of blood
Over usage of dry and pungent herbs that damage BF
Over exertion and chronic diseases
Signs/Sx (Jin):
dryness of skin and dif parts of body, thirst, constpation, scanty urine, dry tongue
Signs/Sx (Ye): same as above +
skin/muscles withered and loose (lack of nourishment); five center heat, tidal fever (Yin deficiency); tremors of hands and feet (internal wind); red dry cracked tongue with peeled or no coat
Tx:
tonify body fluid

20
Q

Jin-Ye

make up BF

A 
Jin:
-SP & LU
-easily consumed/damaged
-easily replenished (drinking liquids)
-moistens internal organs, skin and other tissues
-ie: sweat, tear
Ye:
-SP & KD
-hardly/slowly consumed or damaged
-difficult to replenish
-closely related to essence
-in addition to moistening, assists with nourishing, development and reproduction
-ie: semen, spinal fluid
21
Q

Disfunction in distribution of BF

A

leads to formation of turbid fluid and phlegm
Causes:
(usually SP issue)
LU (can’t descend/disperse) -> phlegm accumulation in LU
KD (lack of Qi transformation); BF retention -> edema
LV (can’t promote mvmnt of Qi) -> Qi not moving water (phlegm fluid retention in body)
SP (disfunction of T&T) -> formation of dampness which will create phlegm
Blockage of TW
Signs/Sx:
phlegm, fluid retention (edema) in dif parts of body
Tx: transform/resolve phlegm

22
Q

Five Endogenous Pathogens

A

Created as result of internal disharmonies

  • internal wind
  • internal cold
  • internal damp
  • internal dryness
  • internal fire
23
Q 
Internal Wind (LV Wind)
*see WB pg. 43-44 (graphs, P & T, elaboration)
A 
Causes:
hyperactive yang 
excessive heat/fire
deficiency of yin
deficiency of blood
Gen. Signs/Sx:
tremors, dizziness, convulsion, spasms, involuntary shaking and movement
24
Q

Internal Cold

A

2 kinds: excess yin & deficiency yang
Causes:
irreg. diet
exogenous cold patho, esp. if one’s constitution tends toward cold
overexertion/chronic illness
Signs/Sx:
pale face, aversion to cold and cold limbs, contraction and stiffness of tendons and pain of extremities
(def. yang Qi of SP & KD -> giving rise to patho dampness & phlegm-fluid)
frequent, clear, increased urination, clear thin increased saliva and phlegm, diarrhea, edema
P: slow (forceful or forceless)
T: pale + white coat (thin or thick)
Tx: disperse cold

25
Q

Internal Dampness

A

“A deficient Spleen creates dampness.”
Causes:
SP Xu
excessive consumption of cold, raw, sweet, greasy food
external dampness moving inward
Signs/Sx:
different in different parts of body (see WB pg. 46)
P: slippery
T: greasy coat
Tx: dry damp, resolve/transform damp, drain damp

26
Q

Internal Dryness

A 
Causes:
prolonged/chronic illness
profuse sweating, severe vomiting, diarrhea, hemorrhage
excess heat that consumes BF
Yin injury that occurs during febrile diseases
*dryness mostly attacks LU, ST, LI
Signs/Sx:
dry/chapped skin, dry mouth/throat, dry lips, nose, eyes, fragile nails, constipation, scanty dark yellow urine
P: rapid + forceless
T: red + cracked + dry 
In addition to above:
LU- cough and hemoptysis
ST- red tongue w/no coating (ST Yin Xu)
LI- dry stool
Tx: tonify yin
