Exuberant yīn repelling yáng

Also repelled yáng. A disease pattern in which exuberant internal cold forces yáng qì to the outer body, causing signs of true internal cold and false external heat. False external heat signs include floating heat effusion, thirst, agitation of the extremities and a large surging pulse. However, despite heat effusion, the patient likes to keep well wrapped up; despite thirst, he does not drink much, likes hot drinks, or rinses his mouth without wishing to swallow. Despite agitation, the spirit-mind is clear. Although the pulse is large and surging, it is forceless under pressure. Hence the heat signs are false.
