Essentials of Warm Disease

[Guest guest]

Jason,

Can you post more on the " Essentials of Warm Disease " by Qin Bo-Wei? 

I wondered about this idea years ago, we live nothing like the Chinese. It seems

they were dealing with deficiency and we are dealing with excess in every way so

why would we use formulas mostly designed for deficiency? They must have dealt

with excesses when they dealt with the royals or the rich but most of the work

was with the common people. It's odd, I had a teacher who once said the reason

they were able to develop such great formulas was all the political prisoners

they had to practice on, in China and from outside!

Cara,

 

 

 

Yes you are right, it does look like a morph between cold damage and warm

 

disease theory. However, this formula was written centuries before warm

 

disease theory was developed. I do not use this treatment strategy often,

 

but here and there I had good success with it. That is, " when there is fire

 

from constraint, discharge it. " I am wondering how a SHL approach would

 

address this lurking fire in the spleen. Any ideas?

anyway- also this kind of reminds me of my comment on your blog the other

 

day: it's like a morph of SHL and Wen bing. is that why you were thinking

 

about it?

Patrick,

I am curious why you think we are dealing with excess in every way? I see

complex presentations of heat, cold, excess, deficiency combined daily.

Hi cara,

 

I don't. But Americans, if that's who we're talking about deal with many issues

of dietary excesses and lack of exercise. And it seems we also have an explosion

of autoimmune disease. So generally I'm saying this as a general observation of

our society. I'm sure as you say presentations show multiple symptoms.
