SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Organ personality profiling. Health preservation and treatment should follow the temperament of the viscera. The lungs are delicate, most afraid of cold wind; the spleen is earth that prefers dryness and dislikes dampness, most afraid of excess water. Avoiding what they dislike is a form of maintenance.

Anchor fast decisions

Each viscera has its specific aversion (heart dislikes heat, lungs dislike cold, liver dislikes wind, spleen dislikes dampness, kidneys dislike dryness). Following their nature brings peace, while going against their aversions causes disease. This is the basis for 'treating according to the viscera' in health preservation and treatment.
