Lecture 7: Lung/LI Patterns & Food Therapy Flashcards

1
Q

Lung Qi Xu Etiology

A

Lifestyle factors:

  • Emotions – sadness, grief
  • Excessive use of voice
  • Hereditary
  • Stooping over desk
  1. Prolonged cough and dyspnea —> impairment of lung qi
  2. Deficiency of SP & ST —> insufficient production of qi and blood
  3. Failure of dispersing and descending of Lung Qi
  4. Hypofunction of respiration
  5. Ineffective protection against EPF’s
  6. Hypofunction of whole body

2-6 —> Deficiency of Lung Qi —> Insufficient Pectoral Qi —> 3, 4, 5, 6

Chronic Lung problems may be hereditary, especially if a parent had Lung tuberculosis. There may be transverse cracks in Lung area and the Lung’s pulse position may be more medial than normal.

Exterior Wind Cold or Wind Heat may remain in the body and eventually cause Lung Qi Deficiency. There is often a chronic cough following an exterior Wind Cold or Wind Heat invasion. This situation can be worsened when taking antibiotics for cold or flu, as they contain the Cold in the chest and interfere with Lung’s dispersing & descending functions.

Q

Invasion of LU by W-C Etiology

A

Artificial sources of Wind Cold, such as air conditioning can also cause Wind Cold.

EPF Pathogenic wind-coldness —> Body surface —> Lung —> Defensive mechanism damaged —> Lung qi fails to disperse

Q

Invasion of LU by W-H Etiology

Q

Damp-Phlegm in LU Etiology

A

This is an Excess Exterior Cold Syndrome. Usually arises from chronic deficiency of Spleen Qi or Spleen Yang

Frequent or reoccurring invasions of exterior pathogenic factors will weaken the Lungs (and SP) —> Lung Qi fails to distribute fluids over body —>formation of Phlegm —> Phlegm ultimately settles in Lungs

Excessive consumption of greasy, cold, dairy or raw foods —> damage Spleen —> Spleen fails to transport and transform water —> leads to the formation of Phlegm —> Phlegm settles in Lungs

Q

Lung Dryness Etiology

A

Lung Dryness is characterized by signs of Dryness with deficient fluids, but it is not yet of Yin Deficiency. It could be considered less severe and a precursor to Lung Yin Deficiency. If it is an Invasion it will have exterior syndrome sn/sx such as superficial pulse, fever and chills at same time.

Lung Dryness can be either Exterior or Interior. Exterior Dryness damages Lung fluids, such as in long periods of dry and hot weather. Internal Dryness can occur from Stomach Yin Deficiency (i.e. - from irregular eating times, irregular diet, etc.).

  1. Invasion by dryness
  2. Infection by febrile diseases
  3. Irregular diet –> ST Yin Xu
  4. Organ malfunction
