CORE DEFINITION

A special paroxysmal syndrome. The patient feels a stream of qi, like a frightened piglet, rushing violently from the lower abdomen (the lower belly) toward the chest and throat, accompanied by panic and a sense of impending death. It is mostly due to cold qi from the kidney ascending or liver qi running transversely.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Energy collision model. This is a vivid ancient description of panic attacks or neurosis. Treatment should not only calm the spirit but also 'suppress'. Use Guizhi Jia Gui Tang or Fulei Wan, like pressing down a frightened, scurrying animal to push the qi back down.

Anchor fast decisions

This is the full name of the 'Running Piglet' disease, referring to the syndrome where qi ascends from the lower abdomen to the chest and throat like a piglet running. It is often triggered by yang deficiency, cold water, or liver-stomach qi counterflow, stirring the Chong vessel's qi to ascend. The mechanism is that the Chong qi fails to descend and instead rushes upward.

MINIMUM ACTION

In progress 0/1

Practice this model in one real situation:

Same as Running Piglet: identify the triggers and the path of qi rushing. Warm yang and descend counterflow, calm the spirit and settle the rushing (Ling Gui Zao Gan Tang, Guizhi Jia Gui Tang, etc.). Regulate emotions and avoid fright.
