Nature
Actions
Its functions are grouped into four:
- Clears Lung-Heat.
- Descends Lung-Qi.
- Calms the Corporeal Soul. Excessive crying.
- Shoulder pain. Bi Syndrome: obstruction due to evil energy. Frequently used.
- Cools the Blood and stops bleeding (e.g., nosebleed). A branch of the Liver Channel crosses the diaphragm and disperses into the Lungs. If Liver-Fire flares upward and reaches the Lung, it can damage both blood vessels and fluids, causing sudden thirst and nasal and/or mouth bleeding with cough, frustration and anger. We know this as "Liver attacking Lung" or "Wood insulting Metal".
Comments
Release the Lung Channel: open the gate. If there is blockage: sensation of heat
