Pathogenesis

It is caused by damp-heat stagnation that leads to a conflict between the clear and the turbid, with equal dampness and heat.

When clear fluids fail to ascend, there is diarrhea. Chest and epigastric pi and oppression are caused by the blockage of qi movement. Scanty dark urine is caused by damp-heat pouring downward. The yellow and greasy tongue coating and the slippery pulse are evidence of damp-heat accumulation. The therapeutic methods are to clear heat and dispel dampness, rectify the qi, and harmonize the center.
