Wei (Defensive) Level
|
The Wei stage is typically the initial stage of many infectious diseases, or warm wind diseases. The warm evil qi in combination with wind attacks the surface or exterior of the body (the skin) where the defensive qi, or wei qi, guards the body like an aura. As the lungs control the skin and the wei qi goes through the lungs, the symptoms in this stage are related to the lungs.
|
|
|
Symptoms of wei level
|
fever predominate, but there may be chills
headache due to warm wind evil cough with thick and yellow sputum sore throat due to warm evil little or no sweating there may be slight thirst tongue: red body, tip, and sides; thin white or yellow coating pulse: floating and rapid |
|
|
Qi level
|
At this stage, the warm evil has progressed into the interior. With the warm evil attacking the zangfu, excessive type symptoms (internal excess heat) will result as there is a confrontation between the vital qi, or zheng qi, of the humam body and the pathogenic warm evil. Depending on which Zang Fu is attacked, resulting symptoms will vary. The most commonly affected organs are the lungs, stomach, large intestine, GB, and the spleen
|
|
|
Symptoms of the qi level
|
high fever
profuse sweating no chills with a sensitivity to heat rather than cold excessive thirst with a preference for cold drinks cough with yellow and sticky sputum, possible chest pain asthma due to lung qi xu patient will be irritable and uncomfortable in any position constipation or apparent diarrhea, the stool will be dry due to the heat and unable to pass. Intestinal fluids appearing to be diarrhea may be passed stomach ache with fullness, tenderness, and discomfort with pressure tongue: red body with yellow, dry coating. Tongue coating could also be black due to stomach heat Pulse; rapid. Excessive and deep indicating interior disease, or rapid and strong indicating heat diseases |
|
|
Ying (Nutritive) level
|
When the warm evil pathogens have progressed past the qi stage, it enters the nutritional qi, or ying qi, stage. At this stage, the disease has nearly reached the blood (Xue) stage (the deepest level). This stage is very similar to the xue fen stage but is slightly less serious. Ying is considered the qi of blood and is also the precursor of blood. It circulates through the blood vessels and through the heart. This stage of a warm evil invasion is where most symptoms affect the heart, producing interior xu heat.
|
|
|
Symptoms of Ying level
|
High fever worse at night
mental restlessness and insomnia, the heat has entered the yin level and is progressing to the xue level. Because blood belong to the heart, the shen is affected, producing mental restlessness and insomnia illogical speech, this indicates a further progression of the disturbances of shen. As the disease worsens, the shen dulls and eventually coma may result. Inability to drink more than small sips. Also due to ST xu Skin rash: red dots on a portion or all of the body; within the dots there is a small amount of blood. Produced by blood heat Tongue: deep red body with a peeling yellow coat (the peeling is due to stomach qi xu) |
|
|
Xue (Blood) level
|
At this stage, the warm evil has entered into the blood. As the heart controls the blood and the liver stores the blood, both organs are affected at this stage. The kidneys are also involved. Significant symptom of this stage is bleeding. Bleeding due to heat in the blood; may occur throughout the body. Skin may bleed, the mouth, nose, anus, etc. This stage is considered the final stage and is usually the terminal stage of a febrile disease. At this stage, people usually die very quickly. Again, the symptoms are made up of two types: excess heat symptoms and xu yin symptoms.
|
|
|
Symptoms of Xue level
|
Includes all ying level symptoms, plus the following
spasms and shaking due to internal liver wind bleeding, the heart cannot control the blood any more resulting in various bleeding symptoms: nose bleeding, vomiting of blood, blood in the stools, irregular uterine bleeding, etc. Tongue: deep red, or purple body Pulse: wiry and small, due to wind and xu |
