精彩书摘
The Lungs dominate qi in two aspects. One aspect is that the Lungs take charge ofrespiration; breathing in fresh qi (air containing oxygen) and breathing out stale qi (aircontaining carbon dioxide). It is in the Lungs that the gas exchange takes place. Therefore,the movements of q/in the Lungs include ascending, descending, coming in and going out.Through these movements of qi in different directions, the Lungs regulate the movementsof qi in general. In the process of respiration, the air passages should be kept clean andunobstructed. If any pathogenic factor impedes the smooth flow of air during respiration,there will be coughing and dyspnea due to "upward perversion of Lung q" It should berespiratory disorders, such as coughing and dyspnea in emphysema and chronic asthma,are often attributed to impaired function ofboth the Lungs and the Kidneys.
The other aspect is the role ofthe Lungs in the formation ofq, especially pectoral q.Pectoral qi is formed by combining essential qi derived from food and fresh air (oxygen)inhaled by the Lungs. The qi thus formed in the Lungs is collected in the chest. It providesenergy for respiration and the voice on the one hand, and assists Heart qi to promote bloodcirculation on the other. With normal functioning of the Lungs in dominating q, abundantqi can be supplied to all the zangfu organs, Impairment of this function usually results in insufficient formation of pectoral qi and disordered movements of q/in general, manifestedby shortness ofbreath, feeble voice, lassitude and lack of energy.
2. Regulating the water passages
This is one of the unique points in traditional Chinese medicine. The Lungs arebelieved to take part in the regulation of water metabolism. They disseminate fluid to thebody's surface, and disperse a part of the body's fluids through the pores as sweat. They also constantly send fluid downwards to the Kidneys for the excretion of urine. The latter function is known as "regulating the water passages." Ifthis function is impaired, fluid willbe retained, transformed into phlegm in the Lungs, or accumulated in the tissues, resultingin edema, especially edema ofthe upper portion ofthe body.
The Lungs' function in regulating the water passages is a conclusion drawn fromclinical observations. Edema manifested in the upper portion of the body (e.g., acutenephritis) is often associated with respiratory symptoms and can be relieved with herbalmedicines commonly used for treating respiratory diseases (such as Herba Ephedrae).
