RE: [pa-l] All chronic problems end in a global Yin Deficiency?

[Guest guest]

Howdy Toralf, Phil et. al.,

 

KI yin is at the foundation of materiel resources. It is where pre-natal

Jing is conserved by being nourished from the surfeit of Ying converted to

post natal Jing at the level of the KI. Living poses a drain of KI yin and

Jing, and therefore all activity that requires more from the " right " --such

as chronic illness, surgery, trauma, mental agitation or even excess

mentation and overwork deplete KI yin and yin in general. My mental picture

is always of the wisened old venerable Chinese doctor looking up from pulse

reading and shaking his head back and forth in the manner of " no " and saying

in saddened undertones to the patient, " Yin weak, too much sex. "
