It is stated that the breath through the nose has an exhalation and an inhalation. Upon inhalation, the Qi is conveyed inward. Subsequently, it is exhaled outward. This cycle repeats. The Lung opens into the nose. When Lung Qi is disharmonious, Wind-Cold invades, obstructing the airway and causing blockage. Consequently, Wind-Cold and Qi ascend together, steaming into fluid, which then flows upward to the nasal cavity. Thus, excessive nasal discharge occurs.
