Yin Xu Fire & Damp Heat etc (was: pathogenic reactions)

[Guest guest]

OK - as an aside here... for some reason I've been seeing patients

lately and had a thought in the back of my mind 'I wonder if this is

that damp heat yin xu fire stuff that Li Dong Yuan was talking about'.

Since it's being kicked about, have others been seeing it as well? I

wonder what that Taoist calendar thing would say about the major

elemental influences for this year are? My teacher in school used to

say for particular patients 'they have stomach damp steaming face' (I

think that's the direct translation from Chinese and not sure what

'we' would normally call it) and I wonder if that's a Li Dong Yuan

concept.
