|
|
What is the pathogenesis of Invasion of Lungs by Wind Water?
|
Pathogenic wind --> attacks Lungs --> dysfunction of the Lung draining the water passage --> water damp penetrates muscular interstices and skin

with thin white or clear sputum; with interior cold symptoms and signs: cold limbs and body. Tongue: Pale tongue with white coating Pulse: Deep and slow |
|
|
What is Pathogenic Cold Invading the Lungs? Pathogenesis?
|
Exopathogenic cold directly attacks the Lung
--> constricts the Yang qi --> Lung qi rebels --> cough and panting. Cold coagulates and constricts --> disrupts water metabolism --> fluids accumulate --> phlegm --> expectorated as sputum Yang qi impaired by cold --> fails to warm --> cold limbs Cold slows down qi & blood circulation --> tongue is pale and pulse slow |
