  2. Development of TCM Internal Medicine • “The Yellow Emperor’s Internal Classic” • 1. A whole conception is stressed • 2. Ying-Yang & Five elements • 3. Channels & Collaterals • 4. Six Exopathic Factors, 7 emotions, diet, internal injuring • 5. Four diagnostic methods • 6. Therapeutic principles

  3. 1. Overeating the fat meat and fine grain can cause the occurrence of abscesses. • 2. Medical classics stated that excessive pattern should be reduced, and deficient pattern should be supplemented. • 3. Slackness and weakness of the extremities is caused by the inability of the spleen to spread the essence.

Six Channel theory of Diagnosis & Treatment --Determine therapy according to syndrome-- --Give recipe according to therapy-- --Prescribe drugs according recipe-- --Pay attention to influence on curative effect-- Famous formula: MangHuang Tang; GuiZhi Tang; CaiHu Tang; LiZhong Tang; BaiHu Tang; GeGengQingLian Tang “Treatise on Febrile Disease” “Synopsis of Prescriptions of the Golden Chamber” -- Zhang Zhongjing (150-219 AD )

  5. Sui & Tang Dynasties (581-907 AD): • Good medical education & Court medical school • Song, Jing & Yuan Dynasties (907 - 1368 AD): • Liu WanSu (1120-1200 AD) “The theory of pathogenic fire” • Zhang ZiHe (1151-1231 AD) “Purgation Specialist” • Li Gao (1180 - 1251 AD) • “Speciality in warming & tonifying spleen and stomach” • Zhu DanXi (1281-1358 AD) “Tonifying Yin specialist” • Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 AD) • Zhang JingYue (1563-1640 AD) • “Yang is not usually redundant while the genuine Ying is often deficient” • Qing Dynasty (1632 - 1912 AD) • Wu YouKe (1582 - 1652 AD) • “Epidemic Febrile Disease”

  6. Etiology • Exopathic Factors: a. Wind Character:Moving & changeable;Prevails most widely; chief cause for various disease & often combined with other pathogenic factor Season: Spring Attack: Upper Jiao; Yang meridian; Skin Syndromes:coughing, stuffy or runny nose, headache, dizziness, and sneezing… b. Cold Character: damage body’s yang Qi; cause pain & spasm symptoms Season: Winter Attack: skin; meridians & joints; directly attack the interior of the body Syndromes: fever; avoid cold; headache; body pain; no sweating C. Summer-heat Character: Yang pathogen; damage body’s fluid; Season: only happen in summer Attack: upper jiao; Syndromes: high fever; thirsty; big sweating; excess body heat, profuse sweating, parched mouth and throat, constipation, and heart palpitations

  7. d. Dampness Characters: heavy & turbid; sticky and difficult to be removed Season: long summer Attack: usually attack downside of the body Syndromes: take long time to be cured; sticky stools; bad appetite e. Dryness Characters: damage body’s fluids; Season: Autumn Attack: through mouth & nose; easily cause lung damage Syndromes: fever; headache; less sweating; dryness of nose; coughing but less phlegm or phlegm with blood f. Fire Characters: excess of Yang; damage body fluids; causing wind & hurt the blood Other five pathogens could be transformed into fire pathogen Season: any season Attack: Heart & blood Syndromes: irritated; coma; blood syndromes
