Dizziness due to Liver and Kidney Yin Deficiency with Yang Rising

Pathophysiology
A mixed pattern of deficient Yin leading to excess Yang. The LV and KI deficiency is the predominant pattern. LV Yin deficiency often follows chronic conditions involving rising Liver Yang or Fire, or stagnant Heat.
More common in older people.
The mechanism of rising yang is different here than in Liver Yang/Fire rising. In simple Yang rising; pent up qi eventually creates enough pressure to pop the cork. In this pattern LV and KI Yin are deficienct and are insufficient to anchor Yang and provide counterweight to its active and rising nature. when anchoring Yin reaches a critical point of deficiency the Yang loses its mooring and becomes excessiviely mobile; RISING TO THE HEAD. When Rising Yang reaches a certain level of intensity (sufficient to cause loss of balance or collapse) it may be redefined as Wind.
