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:




Best of all
