Depression and Dizziness / Yu Mao
Updated 2026-07-31
INTRODUCTION
English translation pending.
CORE DEFINITION
Yu mao names a pattern of sudden visual blurring, dizziness, and brief loss of consciousness followed by prompt recovery. In the Jinkui Yaolue it appears among the three postpartum disorders: blood loss, then sweating, then invasion by cold, which leaves the solitary yang floating upward without support. The qualifier is context and course: it follows depletion such as childbirth or severe vomiting and diarrhea, and the loss of awareness is momentary rather than sustained. Treatment warms and tonifies qi and blood, and rest is essential.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
- Framing check: read it as a system forced to black-screen and reboot when blood supply drops - Wrong-turn alarm: rule out wind-strike patterns before considering any diaphoretic treatment - Recovery plan: warm and tonify blood and qi, then rest rather than stimulate
Anchor fast decisions
Blood carries the clear yang upward to the head. When blood and fluids are depleted and sweating drains more, cerebral perfusion falls and the brain briefly loses function, producing dizziness and a short blackout. Because the deficiency leaves yang without an anchor, it floats upward and worsens head symptoms. Once the patient lies down and perfusion returns, awareness restores quickly, which is why the episode is transient.
