| Description | The heart spirit may become disquieted by any of three main mechanisms: 1) nonconstruction and malnourishment, 2) heat harassment; and 3) blockage and obstruction.

It is also important to understand that liver depression can cause or aggravate any or all of these three main mechanisms. Liver depression counterflowing horizontally to assail the spleen causes spleen qi vacuity with nonconstruction and malnourishment. Liver depression transforming heat may cause depressive heat which floats upward to harass the heart spirit, and liver depression directly and indirectly by way of the spleen may cause phlegm, dampness, and turbidity which may block the free flow of the spirit.

In this case, Gui Zhi warms the spleen and, therefore, hlps to supplement the spleen. Huang Qin and Da Huang clear heat. Mu Li, Long Gu, Da Zao, and Fu Ling quiet the spirit. | |
