CORE DEFINITION

Typical symptoms of Wuling San syndrome. Thirsty and wanting to drink water, but immediately vomiting after water enters the stomach. Because the bladder's qi transformation is not functioning, water in the body stagnates, new water cannot enter, and is pushed out by old water. Scaffolding effect: an overflowing reservoir. Although the mouth is thirsty (a signal of water deficiency), the body is actually flooded. Like a reservoir that is full, when more water is poured in (drinking), water will surge back out from the spillway (mouth).

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

Reduce cognitive load

An overflowing reservoir. Although the mouth is thirsty (a signal of water deficiency), the body is actually flooded. Like a reservoir that is full, when more water is poured in (drinking), water will surge back out from the spillway (mouth).

Anchor fast decisions

In Wuling San syndrome, the bladder's qi transformation fails, water stagnates internally (the reservoir is full), and newly ingested water cannot be accommodated and is regurgitated upward (thirst with desire to drink, vomiting after drinking). This is a contradictory state of 'internally full but sending out a signal of deficiency', rooted in qi transformation failure rather than water deficiency.
