1 TAN YIN PHLEGM-RETENTION SYNDROMES Huijun Shen Shenzhou Open TCM University Amsterdam The Netherlands November 2015

2 TAN YIN -PHLEGM- RETENTION SYNDROMES Phlegm-retention syndrome is a disease resulting from general or local retention of body fluid, which is attributable to the dysfunctioning of the lungs, spleen and kidneys. It is conventionally classified into two main categories, i.e., "yin-syndrome" (fluid retention) and "tan-syndrome" (phlegm retention). "Yin" is the thin and clear fluid which is accumulated when its distribution, transportation and elimination are deranged. "Tan" is the thick and turbid fluid which is concentrated from the body fluids by heat evil.

5 YIN-SYNDROME (FLUID- RETENTION) Syndrome Differentiation and Therapeutic Principles A. Syndrome differentiation according to the location: (1) phlegm-retention in which the fluid is accumulated in the stomach and intestines; (2) fluid-retention appearing in the hypochondrium; (3) anasarca, referring to a generalized subcutaneous accumulation of fluid; and (4) fluid-retention occurring in the thorax and lungs.

6 B. Therapeutic principles Yin" is a kind of yin evil which can be eliminated by yang-qi, so herbss of a warm nature are commonly applied. But Yin" is also a morphotic evil, and the therapeutic principles of diaphoresis and dispelling excessive fluid with potent purgatives should be employed.

11 TAN-SYNDROME (PHLEGM- RETENTION) Phlegm-retention syndrome is developed on the basis of fluid-retention syndrome, in which the phlegm is formed by the action of heat or fire on the accumulated fluid, or the retention of dampness due to the dysfunction of the spleen.

12 A. Dampness-phlegm Manifestations: Profuse expectoration of thin white and frothy sputum, pale tongue with white and moist or greasy coating and wiry and smooth pulse. Therapeutic principles: Dry dampness and eliminate sputum.

13 B. Dryness-Phlegm Manifestations: Difficult expectoration of small amount of thick sputum, dryness of mouth and lips, red dry tongue and wiry, thready and rapid pulse. Therapeutic principles: Moisten dryness and eliminate sputum.

15 D. Cold-phlegm Manifestations: Expectoration of thin white sputum, aversion to cold, coldness of extremities, loss of appetite, loose stool, pale tongue with white smooth coating and deep, slow and weak pulse. Therapeutic principles: Warm middle jiao and eliminate sputum.

16 E. Heat-phlegm Manifestations: Cough with thick yellow sputum, dyspnea, feverish sensation with restlessness or palpitations, insomnia, delirium, yellow, greasy tongue coating and smooth and rapid pulse. Therapeutic principles: Clear away heat, eliminate sputum and tranquilize the mind.
