Discourse states: The Lung is referred to as the "Canopy" (the organ covering the other viscera), positioned above all other organs. If Lung Qi is deficient, cold patterns arise; presence of cold leads to an excess of Yin Qi; excess Yin Qi results in hoarseness; speaking requires effort, with breath trembling, slow and weak; there is shortness of breath and insufficiency; the throat is dry without fluids; deficiency-cold causes lack of energy; one feels fearful and unhappy; coughing and wheezing occur; clear nasal discharge appears; skin and hair become scorched and withered. Palpation reveals a deep and moderate pulse. This constitutes the syndrome of Lung deficiency. Deficient syndromes are suitable for tonification.
