INTRODUCTION

English translation pending.

CORE DEFINITION

A syndrome described in the Shanghan Lun in which an exterior pathogenic influence moves inward and binds with blood already stagnant in the lower burner, around the bladder and lower abdomen. The presentation combines a rigid and full lower abdomen, agitation progressing to mania, and urination that remains normal because the disorder affects blood rather than water. The key qualification is that the mental disturbance has a physical source in congested blood, so it resolves when the stagnant blood is cleared rather than through calming the spirit.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

- Physical root: check for a bodily source before attributing agitation or mania to the mind. - Differential sign: use normal urination to separate blood accumulation from water accumulation. - Severity staging: choose a mild formula for early binding and a strong one when the stasis is fixed.

Anchor fast decisions

Stagnant blood in the lower burner obstructs circulation and traps heat, and the resulting congestion drives the agitation rather than any disorder of the spirit itself. Because the obstruction is material, it does not clear until the blood is moved, so sedating the patient leaves the cause in place and the behavior returns.
