CORE DEFINITION

Stomach qi should descend; if it ascends instead, symptoms like nausea, vomiting, hiccups, and belching occur.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Reversing direction is a violation. The digestive tract is a one-way street (downward). Anything surging upward is 'reversal of stomach qi'. Regardless of cold or heat, treatment must include 'descending' measures (e.g., Inula flower, hematite).

Anchor fast decisions

Stomach qi normally descends; if qi ascends abnormally (due to cold, heat, deficiency, or excess), stomach contents surge upward, causing vomiting, nausea, belching, or hiccups. Essentially, the 'one-way downward path' is reversed.
