Zang Fu Pattern: Lung and LI Flashcards
List the common syndromes of Lung
Deficiency: Lung Qi Deficiency, Deficiency of Yin
Excess: Invasion of Wind-cold, dryness heat, retention of phlegm-turbidity in the lung
List the Common symptoms of Lung
cough, expectoration, asthma, SOB, hoarseness, hemoptysis, chest pain
feeble cough, SOB, worse on exertion, clear dilute sputum, low voice, disinclination to speak, listlessness, lassitude, spontaneous sweating, susceptibility to cold, pale tongue with white coating and weak pulse
Deficiency of Lung Qi
western diseases associated with deficiency of Lung Qi
Chronic bronchitis, pulmonary emphysema, prolonged TB of lung and pulmonary heart disease
Etiology and pathology of Deficiency of Lung Yin
Prolonged cough or asthma, febrile disease at its later period, TB lung all causes impairment of Lung Yin leading to deficiency fire
cough without sputum or with little sticky sputum or blood, dryness of the mouth and throat, hoarseness, emaciation, afternoon fever, burning sensation in the chest, palms and soles night swearing, malar flush
Tongue: red tongue with little moisture
pulse: thready and rapid pulse
Deficiency of Lung Yin
Western diseases associated with Deficiency of Lung Yin
Lung TB, chronic bronchitis
Cough with white and thin sputum, nasal obstruction, runny nose, aversion cold, fever, absence of sweating, white coating, superifical and tense pulse
Invasion of Lung by Wind Cold
Cough with thick and yellow sputum, nasal obstruction, thick and yellow nasal discharge, aversion to wind cold, fever, headache, dryness of the mouth, sore throat, red tip of tongue, thin and yellow coating, superficial and rapid pulse
Invasion of the lung by Wind Heat
Disease associated with invasion of the lung by Wind heat
Cold, acute bronchitis and pneumonia
Etiology and pathology of Accumulation of phlegm dampness in the lung
1.prolonged illness of cough and dyspnea + invasion of wind cold damp in the lung leading to Lung Qi fail to distribute fluids over the body
2. Improper diet leading to disorder of the spleen failure to transport and transform water damp
both pathologies leads to dampness turn into sputum
cough with profuse white and sticky sputum,, easy expectoration, sensatin of oppression and fullness in chest, asthma, gurgling sound in the throat, pale tongue, white and sticky coating, slippery pulse
Accumulation of phlegm dampness in the lungs
Etiology and pathology of retention of heat in the lung
- Invasion of wind heat from the mouth and nose
- transformation of wind cold or wind heat into heat
both leading to retention of heat in the lung
Disease associated with retention of heat in the lung
acute or chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, infection complicated by bronchiectasis, pulmonary abscess, asthmatic bronchitis, bonchial asthma
cough with thick and yellow sputum, asthmatic and coarse breathing, dyspnea, even flaring of nares, high fever, thirst with desire to drink, irritability, epistaxis, hemoptysis, chest pain, cough and expectoration with foul sputum, constipation, scanty deep red urine, red tongue with yellow coating, slippery and rapid pulse
Retention of heat in lung
Dry cough without sputum or with scanty expectoration, sticky sputum, difficult expectoration, dryness of the mouth, nose and throat, fever with aversion to cold, chest pain, hemoptysis, red tongue, white or yellow coating, rapid pulse
Invasion of the lung by dryness
what season would you see the invasion of lung by wind heat
winter and spring
what season would you experience invasion of the lung by heat
winter and spring
Which season would cause the invasion of the lung by dryness
Fall
abdominal pain, tenesmus, diarrhea with blood and mucus in the stool, spouting diarrhea, halitosis, burning sensation of the anus, scanty and deep red urine, thirst, aversion to cold and fever, red tongue with yellow and sticky coating, slippery and rapid pulse
Damp heat in the Large Intestine
Western diseases associated with Damp heat in the LI
acute enteritis, acute bacillary dysentery, acute episode of chronic dysentery and amebic dysentery
Etiology and pathology of Damp heat in the LI
Invasion of damp heat, improper diet leading to damp heat
they both lead to the invasion of damp heat into the LI leading to the dysfunction of its transportation
constipation with dry stool, only deification once several days, dry mouth and throat with foul smell, red tongue with dry yellow coating, thready and unsmooth pulse
Deficiency of fluids in the LI
Etiology and pathology of Lingering diarrhea due to deficiency of the LI
Prolonged diarrhea or dysentery -> insufficiency of spleen and kidney yang Qi
severe diarrhea or incontinence of stools, even prolapsed of rectum, dull pain in the abdomen which can be relieved by warmth and pressure, pale tongue, white and slippery coating, deep and weak pulse
Lingering diarrhea due to deficiency of the LI
Etiology and pathology for Deficiency of fluids in the LI
Deficiency of Yin-blood in old people, consumption of yin fluid in febrile diseases or prolonged diseases, excessive bleeding after delivery (postpartum hemorrhage)
leading to deficiency of fluids in the LI -> fail to moisten the intestine
List the syndromes of the Lung (there are 7 types)
- deficiency of lung qi
- deficiency of lung yin
- retention of heat in the lung
- invasion of wind-heat in the lung
- invasion of wind cold in the lung
- accumulation of phlegm dampness in the lung
- invasion of lung by dryness
List the syndromes of the LI (there are 3)
- Damp heat in the LI
- Deficiency of fluids in the large intestine
- Lingering diarrhea due to deficiency of the LI
POT for Deficiency of fluid in LI
Moisten intestine to relieve constipation
Warm yang to arrest discharge
POT for lingering diarrhea due to deficiency of Large intestine
Remove heat phlegm and relieve asthma
POT for Retention of Heat in lung
POT for invasion of lung by dryness
Eliminate dryness and moisten the lung
POT for Deficiency of Lung Qi
Reinforce Lung Qi
Nourish Lung Yin
POT Deficiency of Lung Yin
Relieve exterior syndrome and promote dispersing function of the lung with herbs pungent in flavor and warm in property
Invasion of the lung by Wind cold
POT for invasion of Wind heat in Lung
Clear heat from lung
