experience

The combination of outburst and ruler is mainly used to treat cough and asthma. Cough is mostly caused by lung qi failure and disorder of purgation. Sudden weather has the function of dispersing lung and inducing resuscitation, while Akazawa has the function of reducing qi (that is, the principle of "main body combining qi and venting" in Difficult Classics 68 Difficult) to relieve asthma. Chise belongs to water in the five elements, and it is the point of lung meridian. According to the principle of "purging excess", this point can be used to purge excess of lung meridian (such as cough, shortness of breath, chest tightness, inability to lie down, phlegm in throat, etc.). The so-called diarrhea has two meanings: one is acupuncture diarrhea, and the other is pricking and bleeding with triangular needles. In addition, if the summer heat is severe, it is often combined with Yugu point to enhance the heat-clearing effect.
