- Overwhelming Cycle is when______________
- One of the phases is weakened then the phase that normally restrains it, over restrains it.
- Example of Wood Overwhelming Earth...
- Wood normally restrains Earth. If Earth is weakened, then wood overwhelms earth.
- Rebellion Cycle is when___________
- When one of the five phases is disproportionately strong and rebels against the phase that normally restrains it.
- Example of Wood Rebelling against metal...
- Wood is normally restrained by metal. If wood is excessively strong, then it rebels against metal.

KIDNEY -
If Mother is weak, then this weakens the son phase
Ex: If Kidney-Water is weak, then ___________ will be weakened. If Kidney Essence is weak, then the _________ essence and blood will be weak. This causes ______yang to become hyperactive -
Liver-wood
Liver
Liver - If the mother phase is hyperactive, then the son phase is hyperactive. If _______ is hyperactive, then heart-fire is hyperactive
- Liver-wood
-
If son phase is hperactive, then the mother may also become hyperactive.
Hyperactive heart-fire makes _________ become hyperactive - Liver-wood
-
If the son phase is hyperactive, then the mother may be weakened (son stealing mom's Qi)
If Liver-wood is hyperactive then the ________ will become vacuous. - kidney-water
-
If the son phase is weak, the mother can become weak (stealing mother Qi also)
If heart blood is vacuous, it causes __________to become vacuous - Liver blood
- Wood-Liver theory in Medicine
-
Orderly reaching like plants and trees.
Free coursing Qi and Blood.
Growing, space to grow in body.
Function of Liver reflects nature of wood.
Spring - Fire-Heart theory in Medicine
-
Function of heart to propell Qi and blood throughout body.
Turns blood red (endows its firey nature)
Flaming, warming, movement - Earth- Spleen theory in Medicine
-
Absorbs Qi.
Concerned with movement and transformation of water and grain essence. - Metal-Lung theory in medicine
-
Clean Fresh Air
Autumn Frost - Water-Kidney theory in medicine
-
Storing essence,
Hibernation
slowing down, isolation, conserving essence. - Viscera and Bowel which was is yin and which is yang and why?
- Visera is yin-hollow organ and Bowel is yang-more movement.
- Wood Visera and Bowel
- Liver and Gallbladder
- Fire Visera and Bowel
- Heart and small intestine, tripple burner and paracardium
- Earth Visera and Bowel
- Spleen and Stomach
- Metal Visera and Bowel
- Lung and Large intestine
- Water Visera and Bowel
- Kidney and Bladder
- Physiological Relationship among the 5 viscera in terms of 5 phases: Wood-Fire
- Liver blood aids the heart, liver free coursing helps heart move.
- Physiological Relationship among the 5 viscera in terms of 5 phases: Fire-Earth
- Heart yang warms spleen yang and helps it to move and transform.
- Physiological Relationship among the 5 viscera in terms of 5 phases: Earth-Metal
- Spleenic movement and transformation of the essence of water and grain enriches the lung. (Lung Qi created in part by water and grain)
- Physiological Relationship among the 5 viscera in terms of 5 phases: Metal-Water
- The lung sends liquid down to nourish and enrich kidney yin. Lung depurative downbearing helps the kidney to absorb Qi.
- Physiological Relationship among the 5 viscera in terms of 5 phases: Water-Wood
- Liver yin derives from Kidney Yin. Kidney essence goes to liver, liver can transform that to ________??
- Defintion of Sinews
- Not only tendons, but also anything stringy muscles etc.
- "The heart unites with the vessels; its luxurience lies in the facial complextion. It is governed by the kidney"
- Water restrains fire. Kidney Yin aids Heart yin and control heat yang.
- "The lung unites with the skin; its luxurience lies in the body hair. It is governed by the heart."
- Fire restrains metal. Heart Fire warms lung and helps propel respiration
- "The liver unites with the sinews; its luxuriences lies in the nails. It is governed by the liver."
- Wood restrains Earth. Liver free coursing and orderly reaching promotes spleenic movement and transportation.
- "The Kidney unties with bone; its luxurience lies in the hair on the head. It is governed by the spleen."
- Earth restrained water. Water and grain essence aborbed by the spleenic movement and transformation enriches stored kidney essence.

5 phase theory in treatment:
Boosting Fire to Engender Earth - Warm and Supplement Kidney Yang to treat spleen-kidney vacuity.
-
5 phase theory in treatment:
Banking up Earth to Engender Metal - Supplement spleen to treat spleen-lung vacuity
-
5 phase theory in treatment:
Metal and Water Engender each other - Supplement Kidney Yin to treat Lung-Kidney yin vacuity
-
5 phase theory in treatment:
Enriching Water to moisen wood - Norish kidney yin to subdue liver yang
-
5 phase theory in treatment:
Banking up Earth to control Water - Supplement the spleen to treat spleen-kidney yang vacuity and water swelling.
