CORE DEFINITION

When heat pathogen penetrates deeply into the nutrient and blood levels, use qi-level clearing drugs combined with blood-cooling drugs to guide the heat pathogen from the deep level to the superficial level (qi level) and vent it out.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Open the window for ventilation. If a fire breaks out in the room (nutrient and blood levels), merely spraying water (cooling blood) is not enough; you must open the doors and windows (venting to qi level) to let the smoke and fire disperse. This is an advanced tactic of treating deep-level diseases by guiding them to the superficial level.

When heat pathogen enters the nutrient level, use clearing and venting to let the pathogen transfer to the qi level and resolve (Ye Tianshi: 'When entering the nutrient level, it is still possible to vent heat and transfer to qi level').
