Organs in Bold- talked about. Others not so much.
Xue Yin is at a deeper lever than Shao Yin though Shao Yin is a
complication of Xue Yin. Tai Yang effected first- leading to most
superficial
Yin organ- Lung. Also Spleen is connected to Stomach which is connected
to outside.
There are more points on Yang channels because more area to cover
and
longer channels. Also treat external more often because more
things
can wrong- need more ways of treating. Most superficial of Yang =
Bladder is the longest channel- covers back front head to feet-
and has 67 points.
Arm and shoulder is covered by SI channel.
Cold and Flu = Wind Heat or Wind Cold enter by the SI or Bl
channel.
San Jiao – 3 divisions.

So external diseases effect Lung, Wei Qi and Tai Yang.
6 Channels
TAI YANG
Most superficial of channels. First in line to be attacked by Xie Qi =
Perverse external Qi. Particularly Wind and Cold. Wind and Heat
not as important.
S/S- Fever with aversion to Cold. Struggle between body and perverse
energy, always causes fever. Averseion to cold because Wei no longer
able to properly circulate superficially. Headache from
obstruction of Qi and Blood and Qi circulation to head. Occiput
can be painful and stiff.
Attack of wind Heat talked about in terms of Wei qi. Attack
of Wind Cold talked about in terms of TAI YANG.
Treatment- Diaphoresis.- Sweating because Wei Qi weak. Diaphoresis
strengthens the Lung’s dispersing function. Eg cinnamon- ease the
muscles and push more circulation exteriorly. Points – GB
20, GV 16, Bl 12 Pulse- Superficial.
YANG MING - 3rd level of Yin. Diseases are internal full and
Hot. Marked fever- because the battle between Zhen and Xie is raging.
The fever is much more clearlyt marked than in TAI YANG. With fever in
TAI YANG hot ouside but cold inside .YANG MING has many hot signs both
inside and out. S/S Heavy sweating because internal heat,
and Wei Qi strong. Red face. Irritability and restlessness- Heat from
St can effect the Heart. T- Coating yellow. Dry- Body fluids are
being driven off. P- Strong-ample due to fever.
SHAO YANG – Qi circulation or obstruction in GB channel producing
alternating chills and fever. Although is is less deep than YANG
MING it is a
further complication of the disease. More complicated but less serious
than
YANG MING.
Body fluids not drastically injured. Disease can go on for years- eg
malaria.
Harder to treat- but not as severe. Struggle between Zheng Qi and Xie
½ way between internal and external. Can go back and forwards.
Also symptoms associated with Liv/GB obstruction; Blurred vision, Dry
throat, Irritability, St Qi full- anorexia.
P Wiry aor tight
Treatment- Passify the SHAO YANG strengthen the body energy.
TAI YIN
Internal empty Cold
Spleen cod empty- invaded by Cold. This is treated differently to
external Cold- This time need to Warm the interior.
S/S – Vomiting, anorexia, the fire of digestion is low. Stools loose,
not much transforming from digestion happening. T White coat-
greasy. P – Slow
One cause could be over use of purgatives. Paten medicine-
Li Zhong Wan. , Ginger.
JUEY YIN Heat retained in the Liver channel and its rising - Cold in
intestines- Heat rises effecting upper body. Complication of
disease with Cold. Cold and Empty in Middle Jiao and full upper
Jiao. S/S Hungry but doesn’t want to eat. St, Intestines,
so person can’t eat.
Cold limbs, Diarrhea. Internal parasites. P- Tense and rapid T- Light
yellow.
Treatment- Eliminate Xue and strengthen Zhong Qi Form-
WU MEI .
