CORE DEFINITION

A method for treating yang deficiency with yin excess (true fire insufficiency leading to internal cold and yin). Instead of directly dispelling cold, it tonifies kidney yang (benefiting fire). When the sun comes out, the gloom (edema/cold) naturally dissipates. This is the approach of 'Jinkui Shenqi Wan'.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

The light source principle. If the room is dark (yin syndrome), don't rush to drive away the darkness; light a lamp (tonify yang). When the lamp is lit, darkness disappears automatically.

Anchor fast decisions

Wang Bing's annotation of 'Suwen': For kidney yang deficiency with exuberant internal cold, warmly tonify the fire of the life gate to dispel the manifestations of yin cold.
