phlegm (or damp) and yin xu patterns

[Guest guest]

In Clavey, Chapter 8 (Phlegm treatments: principles and methods), pg

319-321; has a short discussion on Tonifying Yin fluids and resolving

phlegm as a root treatment.

 

Yin xu with fire drying fluids into phlegm is treated by " moistening

yin fluids to reduce fire, cooling heat and transforming phlegm " .

Guiding formula's mentioned are Liu Wei Di huang Wan and Zhi Bai Di

Huang Wan.

 

Yin deficiency may result in Phlegm-Heat/Fire patterns so root and

branch treatment will depend on individual patient presentation. Also

damp/phlegm and heat (shi or xu) produce each other which is worth

keeping in mind.

 

Hope this is useful,

 

Steve

Does anyone have any good discussions and/or case studies in Chinese

(or English) on mixed phlegm (or damp) and yin xu patterns. Does

Clavey's new addition have such a section? Thanx in advance,
