Episode 29: LU-5 + KI-7 and Defensive Qi
Manage episode 321246897 series 2813899
In this episode Jonathan Chang begins by asking Jason Robertson about an article he wrote for the Journal of Chinese Medicine (https://www.channelpalpation.org/s/Point-Pair-Synergy-and-Defensive-Qi.pdf).
In the course of discussing the article, Jon and Jason reflect upon just a few of the concepts surrounding clinical application of defensive qi (衛氣 wèi qì) theory in East Asian medicine. While avoiding assigning one-to-one equivalency of 'defensive qi' to the 'immune system', cases are described where complex disorders might be viewed through the prism of lung-kidney physiology.
