44
Q

45

49
Q

what is considered the primary external pathogenic factor

A

wind because it easily combines with other pathogenic factors such as heat, cold, damp and also phlegm

50
Q

how can untimeliness of climatic factors be a cause of disease?

A

in the summer, the yang qi flows closer to the surface, making it easier for interstices to open - allowing for sweating. In the winter the yang qi is dormant and the interstices are slower to respond.

51
Q

what directions do wind travel; also what parts of the body does it attack first

A

up and outward; towards the head and extremities

52
Q

when is wind most prevalent

A

convulsion, tremor, shaking, dizziness, moving, pain, itching, spasms, muscle twitching

55
Q

what are the three primary patterns of wind

A
  1. Liver wind stiring internally: caused by exuberance of LV yang &/or LV fire. 2. Extreme heat engendering wind: related to external pathogenic attack of hot nature. 3. Blood vacuity engendering: more room for yang to be exuberant; created in empty space in vessel with blood
56
Q

cold pathogens are more prevalent in what season

A

winter, but can arise in other seasons

57
Q
