Cold Invading the Lung
Cough, wheezing, oppression in chest, brain fog, dizzy, greasy tongue coating, slippery pulse
Turbid Phlegm Obstructing the Lung
- damp phlegm 2. health phlegm 3. cold phlegm 4. dry phlegm 5. phlegm fluids
5 subtypes of Turbid Phlegm Obstructing the Lung
cough, dyspnea, yellow and thick phlegm, or cough with foul pus and blood, fever, thirst, pain in the chest, dry stool and dark urine. A red tongue with yellow coating, a slippery and rapid pulse
Heat Congesting the Lung
deficient (SP and KD) and excess (in LU)
-congestive heart failure
cough, panting, copious, foamy phlegm, in severe cases an inability to lie flat, no thirst or little thirst, inhibited urination, white and slippery tongue coating, and a wiry and tight pulse. If the pattern emerges with the appearance of cold, then it is complicated by aversion to cold, body aches and a floating pulse; dyspnea, unable to lie down flat

Large Intestine Deficiency Cold
“dry stools, difficult defecation, constipation, thirst, dry mouth and tongue coating, red tongue with scanty and dry coating, thready and rapid pulse

Large Intestine Dryness
2 deficiewncy LI patterns
Large Intestine Deficiency Cold
Large Intestine Dryness
acute onset, rumbling intestines, cold pain of the umbilicus and abdomen, clear and watery diarrhea, white and glossy tongue coating and a moderate pulse
Large Intestine Cold Dampness
