CORE DEFINITION

The terminal state of life. Yin and Yang no longer support each other but are completely separated. Manifested as profuse sweating (exhaustion of yin fluids) accompanied by cold extremities (dissipation of yang qi).

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

The red line of death. The ultimate goal of all treatments is to prevent the 'separation of yin and yang'. During rescue, identify this impending collapse trend and use heavy prescriptions (such as Shenfu Decoction) to forcibly pull back the escaping yang qi and the drying yin fluids.

anchor

Anchor fast decisions

From 'Suwen': 'When yin and yang separate, essence and qi are exhausted', referring to the ultimate pathogenesis where yin and yang no longer maintain each other, separate and rupture, and life functions cease.
