Question about SNS

[Coleman McMurphy]

I’ve got an easy question that hopefully will lead to a deep answer. Why does the SNS line refer to it as dealing with shaoyin stage illness? “When in lesser yin disease (there is) counterflow cold of the limbs, the person may cough, or have palpitations, or inhibited urination, or pain in the abdomen, or diarrhea with rectalheaviness, Sini San governs. (SHL318) “

A few random thoughts:SNS is a formula that helps qi/lesser fire move and descend via earth. When wood fails to fan fire, fire becomes weak and stuck, and weak fire floats — shaoyin. This stuck fire — shaoyang — heats up locally; other parts of the body cool off; the earth dries out, and wood may invade earth. If fire is too weak to descend, and/or if wood is invading earth causing obstruction to descending, then the lower cools off while the upper warms up — a separation of yin and yang, or shaoyin pattern.SNS can look like ZWT — cold limbs, abdominal pain, loose BMs, cough — and ZWT is a shaoyin-jueyin-taiyang formula.SNS is found within DCHT, a formula that treats wood invading earth and obstruction in the middle with failed descending of yang causing loss of yin below. DCHT is much more related to a surface and shi event though.Can someone else explain this more clearly, please?

Nicely done! One question, what’s the jueyin component of ZWT?
