Lung Damp Phlegm
Treatment
Rectify Qi,
dispel and transform phlegm,
calm panting and stop cough

LU 1 front mu of LU; mtg point of LU & SP; transforms phlegm, clears heat regulates water passages; descends lung qi alleviates cough & wheezing
REN 17 regulates qi & unbinds chest; decends rebellion of lung & ST;
ST 40 transforms phlegm & dampness; benefits chest; clears phlegm from the lung & alleviates cough & wheezing;

Lung Damp Phlegn
Etiology
(also knows as Phlegm Dampness Obstructing the Lung)
Phlegm damp obstructs Lu Qi causing Qi stagnation and
counterflow Wind Cold fettering Lung Qi
SP Qi vacuity leads to dampness that accumulates in Lung
Lung not depurating and descending (for any reason)
Lung Dryness
Etiology
Etiology: Traditionally occurring in autumn, but in modern times can be caused by indoor dryness due to heating and cooling systems
Heat Evil can damage fluids and transform into Dryness evil
The Lung desires moisture and dryness damages fluids needed and inhibits Lung Qi

LUNG PHLEGM heat etiology
etiology
(also known as Phlegm Heat Congesting the Lung)
Like Phlegm Damp pattern but with heat,
tends to be more chronic/long term.
Phlegm Cold Damp transforms into heat Wind heat lingers and settles in Lung SP Qi vacuity (dampness) and
Qi stagnation (heat) Phlegm heat can also obstruct SP causing SP vacuity Heat can dry fluids leading to Yin vacuity
Lung Phlegm Heat
S & SX
Cough, asthmatic & course breathing,
Yellow, thick sputum or expectoration of four smelling bloddy, pus,
SOB, chest pain on coughing, flapping of ala nasi in severe cases
dryness of the mouth
