How Ying Wei Zhang Fu and Jing Luo 4 Qi blend into the seasonal infections in Pediatric part two

Hey, I'm so excited to come back to continue on part 2 of the previous subject.

So without delay, I'll kick off with the ever-moving clear nutrient energy, Qi which has these physiological functions:


TCM FUNDAMENTALS


This is How Ying, Wei, Zhang Fu and Jing Luo 4 Qi blend into the seasonal infections in Pediatric part two:

Propelling Effect

Qi is in charge of the growth and development of the human body so that the  

are closely related to the smooth voyage of this Qi.  So any deficiency in the Qi will result in the retention of water and blood stagnation in the, particularly affected organ.

Warming Effect

I quote from the Emperor's Interior Sutra

{the officer in charge of the blood and Qi, loves warm and expels cold, cold causes atrophy and resultant stagnation, only warmth can expel the shrinkage and stagnation removed} unquote

This means that the Qi is very much like the resource of heat generation whereby the ability to maintain the normal temperature of the body and blood-fluid circulation is greatly dependent on the warming effect.

And so there are many examples of the warming effect felt in our routine especially among people who have cold hand and feet.

Defending Effect 

So we have touched on the Wei Qi which is solely responsible for the defence mechanism of the body when the seasonal virus starts to invade the body through the integumentary system.  Wei Qi derived from Yuan Qi which is also the ever-moving innate Qi defending the invaded virus so that the body can 'reboot' back to a healthy stage overcoming the invasion.  

Therefore

  1. Yuan Qi = abundant = robust body = less prone to sickness
  2. Yuan Qi = deficient = weak body = more prone to sickness

Gasification of Qi

Gasification is the process where Qi moves to combine with air inhales and the digestion of food to create clear nutrient for the body to function.

So again it boils down to the same effect so that the metabolism, inter-organ function, and all related physiological function like digestion to excretion of the turbidity are maintained at specific normal condition.

Capturing and yet not over spilling

The primary function of Qi is to capture in vivo fluidizable substance of the body so that under the normal condition:
As mentioned before the Qi movement in the above aforesaid 5 paragraphs would be seen as :
  • 1) in term of pulsation of the heart and inhales from the lung match up to the Growth of blood and in turns produce and carry the Qi to all parts of the body.
  • 2) in term of outspread movement of the liver would match up to the regulating of Qi in all aspects of the Optimal function in each organ.

We have come to an exciting moment for our topic as to how the 6 seasonal virus invasion can influence Qi deficiency and stagnation.
The 6 seasonal viruses as (Qi Transportation Theory) stated, namely:
  • Wind
  • Cold
  • Heat
  • Fire
  • Wetness
  • Dryness

Qi Deficiency

The causes of Qi deficiency are:

Lung Qi Deficiency
Indications are:

Spleen and Stomach Qi Deficiency
Indications are:

Kidneys Qi Deficiency
Indications are:

Wei Qi Deficiency
Indications are:

So the Wind whether it's a hot wind or cold wind and the rest would invade the body with each own characteristics respectively which will be discussed in part three later on.

The relevant decoction at this point would be very brief as you can see in the picture attached.  


A decoction to tonic the Lung Qi deficiency


However, they are the most effective remedy for Lung Qi Deficiency.                           

Qi Stagnation

What is Qi stagnation?  
The normal condition for Qi is:
Therefore once the smooth sailing encounter obstacles of any order, the affected organs or meridian connection would develop a series of pathological changes which is generalised as Qi Stagnation.

There is a saying that goes like this; the mild sickness starts or triggers with the malfunction of Qi.

So:
are examples that can cause Qi passage disorder leading to the resultant Qi Stagnation.

How are we going to interpret that there is a Qi stagnation instead of something else during TCM diagnosis?
Primarily, Qi Stagnation has the following main symptoms in the TCM perspective:

Just to fortify these symptoms with these observations would clear any doubt in between:

The treatment for Qi Stagnation would be to regulate and even out the blockage and it still boils down to the strong TCM Fundamentals implanted in you to dredge and clear out the flow of Qi in the liver.
I'll include the formula for these 2 decoctions in part 3 or the next blog and they are:


To round up this topic on Qi Stagnation and Deficiency, the pathological changes in Qi would also result in Qi going in the reverse direction and Qi sinks in, causing organs to move downwards.

The common disorder when Qi moves in the reverse direction and sinks in are:

How Ying Wei Zhang Fu and Jing Luo 4 Qi blend into the seasonal infections in Pediatric part one


Hey, I'm back to continue on the subject related to Pediatric.  There are a lot more which I'm going to write before link up the 6 kinds of seasonal infections like wind, cold and so on with the child development.  You would be able to digest them bit by bit just like the stages of baby growth discussed in the previous blogs.  

TCM FUNDAMENTALS

So you had learned about Zong Qi, Zhong Qi and Yuan Qi, I would introduce:

  • Ying Qi

  • Wei Qi

  • Zhang Fu Qi

  • Jing Luo Qi

4 essential substances are forming the basic material requirement of the human body, namely:
  • Essence
  • Blood 
  • Qi
  • Fluid
is also the foundation for all organs and meridians to complete their respective physiological function.  They are the sustainable life-giving materials without which the human body is dead.

Yang's property

Qi is the ever-moving clear nutrient energy in charge of:

Yin's property

Blood is divided into fluid and plasma cell; both are in liquid form.
So Fluid is termed as the common name for watery substances in the human body.
Both fluid and blood would function to lubricate and nourish the body with clear nutrients.

Therefore 
  1. The Growth
  2. Development 
  3. Mature and Age
  4. Sickness and Death 
of the human body are the results of changes in the movement of:
in the life cycle.

Last and not least, the Essence is the innate important basic material requirement which has 2 meanings.  In the narrow sense, Essence refers to as the reproductive Essence.
Essence in the broader sense refers to every clear nutrient in the human body and called the Essence Qi.

So far okay for you and am I going too fast?
Qi is the very dynamic energy comprising of vital clear nutrients circulating the human body.  You can imagine Qi is reaching from near to every far end and classified as a momentum of air.  This momentum is vividly displayed as:
I quote from the Emperor's Interior Sutra:
{The four phenomena; raise, descend, exit and move in, is found in every organ.}Unquote
The human lively hood in the fundamentals is found on this 4 phenomenon.
Therefore in another word, life will come to an end when this 4 phenomenon stops its function.

So I'll revise with you on Yuan and Zong Qi and blend in the Ying Wei Zhang Fu and Jing Luo 4 Qi to our subject on Paediatrics.

is the innate Qi derived from parents and store in the sealed Kidneys.  Primarily, Yuan Qi is in charge of driving the Growth, Development, Warmth and Stimulation of all vital bodily organs and the related physiological function.
So Yuan Qi becomes the driving energy of human life activities.  Therefore:
  1. Yuan Qi = abundant = robust body = less prone to sickness
  2. Yuan Qi = deficient = weak body = more prone to sickness

Ying Qi
is the nutrient-rich Qi that flows within the pulse together with the blood.  It is formed as a result of digested clear nutrient from the stomach and spleen.  So the primary function of the Ying Qi is continuously producing blood to carry nutrient-rich energy to all parts of the body.  So Qi and blood is one indispensable pair as one body in the TCM perspective.

is the Qi that flows just exterior or outside of the pulse to defence the body against exterior seasonal infections.
It doesn't conform to the restriction by the pulse tubular structure.  Its primary physiological function is to disperse within the chest abdominal region to warm the organs in the aforesaid region.  The Wei Qi also travel outward to reach the integumental system to regulate moist and lubrication for the skin and hair.




is derived from Yuan Qi after fresh air being inhaled by the Lung combined with the raised clear nutrients from the digestive effect of the Stomach and Spleen.  So Zong Qi localised in the chest region called Tan Zhong.  I will discuss more on this acupuncture point in later blogs as and when necessary.
So the primary physiological functions of the Zong Qi are:
1) regulate the breathing mechanism
2) energise and regulate the heartbeat.
3) regulate the bodily movement and temperature in the TCM perspective.
The apex of the heart (as the heart lies in situ) is located on the midclavicular line, in the 5th intercostal space (As shown in the picture above) where it serves as a medical indicator for cardiac apex beat.   Abnormal reading will foretell the underlining cardiac disease in the person about the Pericardium.
The Apex is the same point called Xu Li in the TCM perspective where the palpitation of the Xu Li is correlated to the pulse to prognosticate the abundance or total deficit of the Zong Qi.

is derived from Yuan Qi to spread out to individual organ (or called Zhang Fu), as a result, we have Spleen Qi, Stomach Qi and so on.
Therefore these organ Qi is depicted as the basic material required to complete the self physiological function of the organ.

is again derived from Yuan Qi which passes through the meridian path and termed as Jing Qi.  So during acupuncture treatment, the usual observed reaction is the electrifying or heavy effect felt by the patient is referred to as "obtaining the Qi".  This means Qi is activated to reach treatment optimisation.

Am I going too fast and it is the end of part one in this blog?
I will be back soon to continue on the same topic part two.



Best of all
