bubble_chart Note

• For a person with visceral accumulation, if there is a longstanding mass under the rib connected to the side of the navel, combining old and new illnesses, with pain radiating to the lower abdomen and extending into the genital region, the pathogenic factor has further invaded the Jueyin, which is a fatal manifestation of visceral accumulation.

• Cheng Zhi said: "The old and new pathogenic factors intertwine and cannot be resolved. The mass connected to the side of the navel indicates spleen visceral accumulation; pain radiating to the lower abdomen indicates kidney visceral accumulation; and the extension from the rib to the genital region indicates liver visceral accumulation. When all three yin organs are affected, it is fatal."
