CORE DEFINITION

Summarized by modern Chinese medicine master Li Diangui. Pathological products such as dampness, heat, phlegm, and blood stasis accumulate over time and transform into 'turbid poison'. This is the core pathogenesis of many chronic diseases (such as atrophic gastritis and precancerous lesions).

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Pollution control model. This is no longer simple 'imbalance', but 'environmental pollution'. Treatment requires high-intensity 'detoxification' to clear the chemical pollution (turbid poison) from the body.

In TCM etiology/pathological products: dampness, phlegm, blood stasis, heat and other pathogenic qi stagnate for a long time without resolution, intertwining to form a turbid, sticky 'poison' that damages the viscera. Its nature is sticky and difficult to resolve, easily harming the spleen and kidney, obstructing the collaterals and causing changes, commonly seen in chronic spleen-stomach diseases, kidney diseases, and tumors.
