HEAT FROM QI STAGNATION

Image
When Qi stagnates it frequently gives rise to Heat. This is why emotional stress which leads to Qi stagnation usually leads to Heat and that is why the tip of the tongue (reflecting the Heart and the Shen) becomes red. Heat from Qi stagnation has the same characteristics and clinical manifestations as those of Full Heat but it differs in the treatment principle. To clear Full Heat, we use herbs and formulae from the category of A Clearing Heat @ or A Clearing Organ Heat @ .   To clear Heat deriving from Qi stagnation, we need to use herbs and formulae from the A Moving Qi @ category and adapt them to clear Heat. Although we always stress Liver-Qi stagnation, practically all organs may suffer from Qi stagnation and I will discuss particularly three: Liver, Lungs and Heart. a) Heat from Liver-Qi stagnation Hypochondrial or epigastric distension, a slight feeling of oppression of the chest, irritability, melancholy, depressed mood, moodiness, propensity to outbursts of anger, a fee...

DIAGNOSIS, PATTERNS AND TREATMENT OF HEAT

Image
Heat is an extremely common pattern in practice and it is therefore very important that we understand its aetiology, pathology, diagnosis, patterns and treatment. To give an idea of the frequency of Heat in practice, in my clinic in England in a database of over 2500 patients, 46% had a red tongue and 32 a pale tongue. In other countries with a warmer climate, I suspect the incidence of red tongue (and Heat) would be even higher. One reason why Heat is so common is that it is often the consequence of emotional stress, but this will be discussed later. I have decided to write something on Heat also because I find that even in Chinese books, the subject is not discussed properly and the terminology used is often not precise as they sometimes use the terms "Heat" and "Fire" interchangeably and they are not. The discussion of Heat will be structured under the following headings: Aetiology of Heat Full Heat Heat from Qi stagnation Empty Heat Distinction between Heat and ...

FOUNDERS - English Mountain Recovery Nancy has often asked me “why do you think I am an alcoholic and you’re not? ”I don’t know because I have learned that the disease of alcohol and drug addiction is extremely baffling and confusing. Why Nancy and not me makes no difference, she is I’m not. Over the years the drinking became worse and our relationship was definitely going south. Then came the day we all pray for….the day she asked for help. For Nancy, help came with admitting her powerlessness over the disease, the desire to recover, the willingness to accept help, and her admission into treatment. After seven years of solid sobriety God blessed us with the opportunity to purchase property in Tennessee on English Mountain. This property was to become English Mountain Recovery (EMR) . The 27 acres of property had once been a resort that had been closed for many years. English Mountain had been host to many dignitaries including U.S. Co...
