Downward regulation of Rebellious Qi

Molecular classification
Other (TCM diagnostic/treatment principle, not a molecular entity)
01

Overview

“Downward regulation of Rebellious Qi” denotes the therapeutic goal in traditional Chinese medicine of restoring correct directional flow of Qi when it is deemed ‘rebellious’, i.e., moving contrary to physiological norms in one or more organ channels. Rebellious Qi can manifest in multiple ways depending on the affected channel, such as upward movement in the stomach yielding nausea and vomiting, or lung-related cough and asthma. Treatments are individualized based on TCM diagnostic patterns and include acupuncture, herbal formulas, and lifestyle modifications designed to support the smooth and proper movement of Qi and alleviate associated symptoms. No molecular entity or receptor is associated with this concept in the scientific literature.
