Six Stages in Traditional Chinese Medicine

A brief review of the six stages of the Shanghan Lun in Chinese Medicine - a way of understanding the location of the pathogen as it penetrates deeper into the body. This is intended for acupuncture and herbal students of the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine by lecturer Danny Blyth.

Thanks

Thank you for the video, I am still confused which stage is exterior and which is interior. Is Tai Yang and half of Sho Yang exterior and everything else is interior. I had an exam recently and I wasn’t sure how they work. There was “choose all that apply” and I chose Tai Yang and Sho Yang as exterior phases.

[@dannyblythacupuncture2262]

Taiyang is exterior. Shaoyang is half interior, half exterior. Everything else is interior. Good luck with the exam!

[@cristianmurar3185]

Thank you, appreciate your fast answer!

Thanks for the video. I didn't understand one thing: why does the depth circle change during the invasion (first, tai yang, shao yang yang ming..., in syndromes, the order is tai yang, yangming, shao yang)?

[@dannyblythacupuncture2262]

A disease can move from one depth to any other, not always in a linear way. The ‘normal’ progression is taiyang (head cold) to yangming (‘flu, chest infection) - shaoyang is a hinge between the two where a pathogen can get lodged and stuck.

@@dannyblythacupuncture2262 Nice, I undestood. thanks...

[@cristianmurar3185]

That’s where I get confused. If shao Yang is mingling between Tai Yang and Yang Ming how come the pathogen after affecting the Tai Yang moves to Yang Ming instead moving into Shao Yang which is half exterior and half interior, as you said yesterday, and between the two other Yang stages. Thank you!

[@dannyblythacupuncture2262]

The passage of a pathogen is not linear. It can move from taiyang or yangming to shaoyang. Sometimes a pathogen will span more than one of the levels at the same time (yangming and shaoyang). Think of them as regions where a pathogen may be located rather than as separate entities.

Thank you, Professor Blyth!
