Interior problems

[Guest guest]

Interior problems can result from Evils invading, or they can arise

within the body. For example, Interior Wind can develop because of

Blood Deficiency or high fever.

 

Interior Cold can be due to Cold that invaded from the environment,

affecting the Exterior of the body first and then invading to the

Interior. Or, Interior Cold can be due to Yang Deficiency and there

not being enough Yang to warm the body properly.

 

Etc.

Although it is posible that an external factor like

wind or cold invade our body , we prefer consider

emotional factors as the main causes of internal

deseases cause they affect directly energy , blood

and fluid metabolism that is why they produce

conditions sililars to those produce for external

factors.

they say

rage make Qi regurgitate;

joy make Qi armonious

worry make Qi stagnate,

sadness make Qi disipated,

fear make Qi to sink.

 

When we talk about internal wind most of time we talk

of dampness for worry that stagnate Qi , then wood is

unable to drain drain eath then regurgitation of qi

take place.

Remember if Qi is unable to circulate blood or fluid

will not be able either.

Somewhere in some of my packed up books (I think one of the Maciocia

texts) there is a good summation of factors that can trigger

imbalance. These also include diet and herbs. For example, if

someone eats too many foods and herbs with warming energy, the person

can become too hot (Excess Heat - from the food and herbs).

 

Some people are born with constitutional weaknesses. These include

Western-defined genetic disorders as well as weak Jing, a tendency to

certain TCM imbalances, etc. Physical deformities that an individual

is born with also can incline a person toward certain imbalances. For

example, a club foot, a crooked spine, etc. can interfere with the

proper flow of Qi and Blood among other things.

 

Trauma to the body from accidents, surgery, fights, etc. can produce

Blood Stasis and Qi Stagnation which in time trigger other imbalances

if left untreated.

 

The ancient Chinese also recognized air quality as a factor in health

and illness. They wrote of different " mists " and the effects that

these can have.

 

I know I'm forgetting some of the factors here, and hope others will

jump in and finish the list.

They do. They affect Qi and Qi flow. (I'm emphasizing this for the

readers who are new to TCM.)

An example of fear causing Qi to sink is someone who wets his or her

pants when frightened. This is a dramatic example, but there are many

more. For example, the loss of energy in a person who is sad,

depressed, or grieving. When we observe someone who is sad or

grieving, it's like something has gone out of the person. It has.

The Qi is disipating.

 

I want to caution readers - Americans in particular - that the TCM

understanding of the role emotions play in health and illness is far,

far more sophisticated than that of the West at present. In the

United States (and some other countries) " it's psychological " all too

often has become nothing more than a catch-phase for doctors who are

too incompetent and/or lazy and greedy and uncaring to figure out

what is really wrong with the patient and treat it appropriately. A

lot of medical conditions that could be treated go untreated as a

result. For example, both my father and sister were diagnosed as

being " nervous and depressed " when they had cancer. As a result,

proper treatment was delayed. An uncaring and greedy doctor can " see "

a lot more patients and make a lot more money telling patients " it's

psychological " than if s/he took the time to really listen and figure

things out. (I'm not talking about all Western doctors. There are

some fine Western doctors who do care and take time. But the greedy

and incompetent ones far out-number the caring and competent ones

these days. In fairness I also want to point out that some TCM

practitioners are uncaring, incompetent, and greedy. The difference

is that the medical establishment in the U.S. has de-evolved to the

point where it actually favors and promotes lack of caring, the

incompetence, and the greed. The framework of TCM does not.)

 

I'll be posting more later on the sophisticated understanding of the

mind-body(-emotion-spirit) connection in TCM. I want readers who have

been hurt or had loved one who have been hurt by being fobbed off

with " it's psychological " to know that the TCM understanding of this

connection (and the treatments) is not the same as the sham that all

too often is mispracticed (and malpracticed) in Western medicine.
