Yáng disease is treated through yīn
阳病治阴 〔陽病治陰〕 yáng bìng zhì yīn
1. The principle of treating damage to yīn by exuberant yáng heat. When yáng prevails, yīn ails,
and so that exuberant yáng heat causes damage to yīn fluids. Such patterns are treated by engendering liquid with cold sweet agents.
2. Treating disease patterns associated with a yáng channel by needling points on a yīn channel. For example, foot yáng brightness (yáng míng) channel vomiting and retching can be treated by needing PC-6 (Inner Pass, 内关 nèi guān) and LR-3 (Supreme Surge, 太冲 tài chōng).
