Heat in the Lungs and Cold in the Stomach

[Guest guest]

I was curious to hear how others would propose to treat this?

 

To cool the lungs would aggravate the already cold stomach. To heat the stomach

would aggravate the already hot lungs.

You'd use herbs that have a more specific tropism to differentiate the two

locations' thermal nature. Lots of " harmonization " formulas do that such as

ban xia xie xin tang.

 

But, who says you have cold in the stomach and heat in the lungs? Most

medicinals for one apply to the other as well ala " lung and stomach heat " .

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

You're not an anomaly, you're an enigma.

 

There is plenty of wiggle room in Chinese medicine diagnosis. It is

something of an interpretive practice like social science or economics.

There are traditions that have withstood the test of time, but there is also

the human element where a particular practitioner will see things in ways

that are uniquely theirs.

 

I'm guessing that what your guy is calling Stomach cold with Lung heat,

someone else would call something very different. Either way, what matters

is how the therapy is managed. Excess patterns whether that is the cold or

the heat tend to be best attacked directly and strongly, while deficiency

patterns benefit from a lower-dosage and longer course of treatment. If you

have both deficiency and excess, treat them together, but also address any

symptoms that are particularly difficult to manage.

A chinese doctor that I had seen. It seems I'm an anamoly. Or at least that's

how I feel I heard it is rare to have this.
