Yin Stasis not a common concept in TCM?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

As others mentioned, Jeffrey Yuen uses the term " Yin Stasis " .

 

See: www.pacificcollege.edu/publications/audio/categories.php :

Cancer Care & : Description: Cancer as a condition is

generally attributed to 3 main causative factors: (1) Yin Stas dt

Xu/loss; (2) prolonged Qi-Xueyu dt habituation / (3) Toxins; Its

pathological process involves Heat & often response to Heat via Damp

& its complications (including latency); basic strategies for cancer

is not always directed toward clearing pathological process & its

Fire Toxin, but in some cases, may involve Promote

latency/dormancy/remission; morning lecture will provide an overview

of etiology, pathology & general Tx strategy for individuals

afflicted w cancer; workshop will provide insight on how to integrate

different modalities of CM (ranging from AP, Chinese Hbs, dietary

therapy, Qi Gong, etc) into care of cancer patients

 

I had not heard the term " Yin Stasis " before, nor could I find the

term in Wiseman's Dictionary.

 

Wiseman uses a term " Yin Bind " (Yinjie), referring to constipation dt

SP-KI Xu Cold.

 

In other contexts, the Pinyin terms Yu and Zhi are used to signify

Stasis of Blood and Qi. The terms and Zu, Bi and Jie are used to

signify Blockage / Obstruction & Bind.

 

A Google search using the Hanzi terms for " Yin Yu " OR " Yin Zhi " OR

" Yin Bi " OR " Yin Zu " has some hits for each of those terms. However,

the number of hits are few in comparison to the number of hits, for

example, for the Hanzi terms for Xue Yu, or Yu Xue, or Qi Zhi, etc.

This suggests that the concept of " Yin Stasis " is NOT recognised

widely in TCM.

 

Would experts like to comment?
