Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 The most common reason why Qi Rebels (ascends when it should descend) or otherwise behaves chaotically is anger/ frustration/ impatience. But severe pain - the type due to Blood Stasis - also can cause Qi to Rebel. This is part of the reason why nausea and vomiting usually are symptoms of gall stone and kidney stones attacks. The pain is quite severe, and Qi Rebels. For anyone who has ever experienced the passing of a stone (or gravel or " sand " ), one can actually feel the Qi forcefully rushing up. " In addition, if sand and stones gather and accumulate, they will hinder the free flow of qi and blood, thus resulting in pain. However, anger and/or emotional depression may also cause qi stagnation which may evolve into blood stasis. Nausea and vomiting may be due to both damp heat evils obstructing the middle burner and chaos of the qi due to extreme pain associated with blood stasis leading to disharmony of the stomach. " (Bob Flaws and Philippe Sionneau, The Treatment of Modern Western Medical Diseases with , p. 526.) Stomach Qi is supposed to descend. When it ascends instead this is called " Stomach Qi Rebelling. " The results can be things like nausea, vomiting, and acid reflux. Spleen Qi is supposed to ascend. When it descends instead of rising, this is called " Spleen Qi Sinking " . Spleen Qi Sinking is a special case of Spleen Qi Deficiency. It can manifest as prolapsed stomach, prolapsed uterus, prolapsed anus, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
