Rebellious Lung Qi
In traditional theory, Rebellious Lung Qi means that Lung qi fails to descend and instead moves upward against its expected direction. Its organ scope is centered on the Lung, with possible disturbance of the Stomach and the clear-orifice functions when upward counterflow affects breathing, nausea, or dizziness.
