CORE DEFINITION

The combination of wind, cold, and dampness results in Bi (arthritis/rheumatism). When wind qi predominates, it is migratory Bi (wandering pain); when cold qi predominates, it is painful Bi (severe pain); when dampness qi predominates, it is fixed Bi (heavy pain).

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Frozen pipes. Bi means 'closure' or 'blockage'. Think of joints as pipe fittings. Wind, cold, and dampness are like rust and ice that clog the fittings. Treatment involves dispelling wind (blowing), dispersing cold (thawing), and removing dampness (derusting).

Anchor fast decisions

Wind, cold, dampness, heat, and other pathogenic factors obstruct the meridians, causing qi and blood to flow unsmoothly, leading to pain, soreness, numbness, and heaviness in the limbs and joints.
