Guest guest Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Wei Qi is the most surface expression of Yang in general. There is just Yang and when it is in different places doing different things, we call it something different. When it is in the surface and effected by day and night cycles, we call it Wei Qi.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Sharon If the mechanism of sweating at night from yin-def is that yang cannot enter yin and therefore results in relative heat, what is the mechanism of night sweats in heart qi-blood deficiency? Is sweat in both comes from essence or one is fluids (jing-ye) and the other essence? When wei qi does not secure the surface due to qi deficiency the sweat is said to come from fluids, so i still have questions regarding night symptoms resulting from yang-def. Do we assume that night symptoms in a yang-def patient relate to yin pathogens (blood-stasis or damp related) or can they be do to pure yang-def? Also, I have a little trouble with seeing wei qi this way (or as seeing Yang as just a lot of Qi, etc.). To me each physiological description only makes sense in relation to the pathological clinical description and treatment. Perhaps it is my western resistance to full acceptance of CM theoretical constructs. I can only relate to them in term of clinical descriptions and applications.
