The Lung unites and mobilizes the Qi of air (Tian or Heavenly Qi) and food (Ying or Nutritive Qi), precipitating the refined substance, Pure Qi, inward from the surface and downward. The Liver stores the Blood (Yin) and elevates Vital Fire (Yang), mobilizing Qi and Blood upward and outward, from the core towards the surface. Both the Lung and Liver have the capacity to receive and fill, squeeze and discharge. In counterpoint to one another, the Lung manifests its power through emptying (contraction), which relieves pressure; the Liver manifests its power through filling (expansion), which increases pressure. Accord between these two potent processes is maintained by promoting free and easy movement of Qi and Blood - upward and downward, inward and outward - maintaining the primary pulsatory rhythms of the body's organs, tissues, and fluids. The objectives of therapy in this context are commonly described as dredging and softening the Liver, and expanding and ventilating the Lung. Harmonize Lung & Liver tonifies Blood and Moisture, disperses Blood and Qi, dispels Heat, Wind, and Phlegm, and moderates the intensity of sensation and feeling.*
