17 San jiao Provides a pathway for fluids and qi Distributes yuan qi

18 Internal causes of disease seven emotions/affects (qing)

19 Xi, joy relates to the heart and fire element. Excessive joy slackens fire qi causing vexation, agitation, inappropriate laughter, mania. Lack of joy may lead to poor communication, hurt, rejection, defensiveness, over sensitiveness, selfrighteousness, paranoia.

20 Nu, anger, relates to liver/wood, causing liver qi to rise and stagnate. When wood qi does not move smoothly it may cause frustration, resentment, mood swings and depression, feeling trapped, inability to plan or make decisions, timidity, unassertiveness, over controlling, inflexibility.

21 worry or Si, variously translated as thought, pensiveness, relates to spleen/earth. Worry (or excessive thinking/studying) binds earth qi sometimes causing repetitive thinking, unclarity, worry, insecurity, obsessiveness, a lack of nurturing or a tendency to be overly solicitous.

22 Kong, fear, relates to kidneys/water. Fear is said to precipitate or descend water qi leading to dread, mental debility, feeling overwhelmed, inability to cope, phobias, feeling powerless, secretiveness, suspicion, recklessness, stubbornness.

23 You (sadness/anxiety) and bei (grief/sorrow ) relate to lungs/metal. They are said to disperse metal qi, stagnating qi in the chest; leading to a sense of sadness and oppression, lack of self worth, pointlessness, inability to let go, detachment, criticalness, confusion, arrogance, guilt and rigidity.

24 Jing, fright or shock, leads to liver wind and heart and kidney disharmony by scattering qi.

25

26 Wind External wind invading lungs as wind heat, wind cold or wind dryness. External wind invading channels as paralysis, pain, tremors, tics, convulsions, stiffness, numbness and/or restricted movement of muscles/joints. External wind skin conditions, causing rapidly moving itching and rashes.

27 Cold Wind cold invading the lungs. Cold bi (painful obstruction syndrome) invades limbs as stiffness, contracted tendons, chilliness. Cold invading the middle jiao as pain or diarrhoea. Cold invading the liver channel as cold shan.

28 Damp/Phlegm Damp obstructing spleen and stomach. Damp heat invasions, either obstructing spleen and stomach or liver and gallbladder, or pouring into large intestine or bladder. Damp cold invasions, damp combining with wind cold or wind heat leading to bi syndrome. Phlegm more viscous in nature, arising from accumulated dampness/spleen deficiency. May become solid.

29 Dryness Dryness invades lungs, as external febrile disease damaging blood or yin, or as blood dryness.

30 Fire and summer heat external febrile diseases, or summer heat on its own or combined with damp.

31 Heat or damp toxin may combine together. Arise from depression of fire and/or accumulating damp. Affect intestines/skin leading to skin disorders with abscesses, sores. Damp toxin leads to copious discharge.
