Ukuhlonza izimbangela zezifo (i-etiology) kuhlanganisa ukuthola, ngosizo lokuhlolwa, ukubhekwa nokufunda "insimu" yesiguli, ukungalingani okusuka kuyo izifo. Isikhathi esiningi, sizama ukuphenya izimbangela ngokufanelekela izinhlobo zokungalingani (I-vacuum, Excess, Stagnation, Cold, Heat, Wind, njll.), futhi ngokunquma ukuthi iyiphi i-viscera noma imiphi imisebenzi ethinta kakhulu.

Isibonelo, sizosho ukuthi umuntu onomkhuhlane uyisisulu soMoya, ngoba lokhu kuhlasela kuvame ukwenzeka ngesikhathi sokushintsha kwesimo sezulu esihambisana nomoya noma ukuchayeka kuhlaka. Umoya futhi ufanekisela amandla omoya ophethe isici se-pathogenic futhi uwenze ungene. Sizobe sesikhuluma ngomoya wangaphandle. Sizophinde sisho ngomuntu ohlushwa ukundindizela okungahleliwe, ukuthi uhlushwa umoya wangaphakathi ngoba izimpawu zakhe zifana nokuthi umoya ubangelwa yini: ama-squalls, amaqabunga aqhaqhazelayo, njll. Ngakho-ke umoya ungumfanekiso osebenza njengokhonkolo. kanye nephuzu lokusuka le-analogiki ukuze kuqondwe isethi ethile yezimpawu ze-pathology, futhi ezisebenza ngokuzihlukanisa ngezigaba noma ukuzihlanganisa nesithombe somtholampilo. Lezi zithombe zingacwengwa kakhulu nangokwengeziwe: sizokhuluma ngoMoya ongaphandle noma wangaphakathi, wokuhlasela okuqondile koMoya, Ukushisa komoya ohlasela Iphaphu noma Umswakama Womoya ongena kuMeridian. , inkulumo ngayinye iveza amaqiniso anembe kakhulu.

Vele, uma sithi isifo sibangelwa uMlilo Wesibindi, akusho ukuthi isibindi siyafudumala ngokomzimba, kodwa ukuthi sisebenza ngokweqile, sithatha isikhala esiningi kakhulu, ukuthi "sishisa ngokweqile". Futhi lapho i-TCM ikhomba imbangela njengomkhuhlane wangaphakathi, kungenxa yokuthi izimpawu zifana nalezo ezingabangelwa umkhuhlane wangempela owawuzongena emzimbeni (ukwehla, ukuqina, ukuminyana, ukuqina, njll.) .

Phakathi kwezinye izinto, ukuhlonza izimbangela zezifo kusiza ekunqumeni ukungenelela okufanele kakhulu. Isibonelo, uma i-TCM iphetha ngokuthi imbangela yesifo i-Wind-Cold etholakala Emaphashini, lokhu kuzovumela ukukhetha ukwelashwa okuzosiza ukuhlakaza Umoya nokuletha ama-Qi amaningi Emaphashini (ukuze alwe Nokubandayo) , ekugcineni okuyoletha ukuphulukiswa. Kuphinde kunike isiguli ithuba, sazi umsuka wesifo saso noma ukungalingani kwaso, ukwenza izinguquko ezidingekayo endleleni yaso yokuphila ukuze sigweme ukuphinde sigule futhi sivimbele ezinye izinkinga zempilo.

Le ndlela ihluke kakhulu endleleni yezokwelapha yaseNtshonalanga, ecabangela, isibonelo, ukuthi imbangela ye-sinusitis iwukuba khona kwebhaktheriya ye-pathogenic; ngakho-ke izosebenzisa isibulala-magciwane (noma umkhiqizo wemvelo ofana nogamthilini) ukuze ihlasele futhi ibhubhise amagciwane okukhulunywa ngawo. I-TCM ibheka kunalokho ukuthi imbangela yalesi sifo, ngokwesibonelo, Umoya Obandayo Emaphashini noma Umlilo Wesibindi, okusho ukuthi ubuthakathaka besistimu, ukuba sengozini kwesikhashana okuvumele, kulezi zimo ezithile, isifo. ukusetha (noma ngabe ngokushiya inkambu ivulekele amagciwane noma ngenye indlela). Ngakho-ke i-TCM izofuna ukuqinisa amasosha omzimba kanye nomzimba wonke ukuze iphinde ithole amandla okuqeda i-sinusitis ngokwayo (namagciwane ayengenawo amandla okulwa ngaphambili).

I-TCM ihlukanisa izimbangela zezifo ngezigaba ezintathu: zangaphandle, zangaphakathi nezinye. Ngayinye yethulwe ngokuningiliziwe emazingeni alandelayo.

• Izimbangela zangaphandle (i-WaiYin) zixhunywe nezici zezulu ezifana nokushisa, Isomiso, Umswakama, Umoya, njll.
• Izimbangela zangaphakathi (NeiYin) zivela kakhulu ekungalinganini kwemizwa.
• Ezinye izimbangela (i-Bu Nei Bu WaiYin) ukuhlukumezeka, ukudla okungenamsoco, ukusebenza ngokweqile, umthethosisekelo obuthakathaka kanye nocansi ngokweqile.
