Symptoms of Heat as a Pattern of Physiopathology
Objective: The guiding criteria are considered the backbone of Chinese medicine.They have previously been described as functional features (symptoms) leading to the overall assessment of human functions on the basis of a regulatory (cybernetic) model referring to the I Ging.Methods: The Heidelberg model can explain symptoms such as created by heat on a rational physiological level.Results & Conclusion: The overall of physiological symptoms are shown as a schematic draft.The basis of heat is considered to be a general increase of microcirculation in the periphery.This leads to a couple of local pathophysiological consequences and sensations like 1) red tongue (the tongue is considered an embryological somatotopic system).2)Sensation of warmth (by increase of capillary flow).3) pre-inflammatory state,leading to pain modalities like worse if pressed,as inflammations tend to be increasingly painful under pressure;4) reddish skin,the mechanisms by which this is induced may include the release of substance P,therefore accompanied by burning sensation.Systemic pathophysiological consequences may include.Relative lack of fluid in the larger vessels,as fluid supplies peripheral capillary flow.This may lead to water saving mechanisms like thirst,dry mucosa with dry mouth,dry nose,dry lips,dry skin,and also dry stool,yellow and sparse urine.Also,by mechanisms like the pressor reflexes,this may lead to sympathetic stimulation with fast pulse,sympathetic peripheral patterns such as the liver pattern (hepatic orb),as described previously,and inner tension as described by the classical phrase of the calor represents the liver .
