Q

LUNG PHLEGM heat etiology

etiology

(also known as Phlegm Heat Congesting the Lung)

A

Like Phlegm Damp pattern but with heat,

tends to be more chronic/long term.

Phlegm Cold Damp transforms into heat Wind heat lingers and settles in Lung SP Qi vacuity (dampness) and

Qi stagnation (heat) Phlegm heat can also obstruct SP causing SP vacuity Heat can dry fluids leading to Yin vacuity
