Commentary states: The pharynx (throat for swallowing) is the connection of the Stomach, thus it governs the swallowing of food; Heaven's Qi connects with the Lung, thus the larynx (throat for breathing) governs the passage of air. The sensation of obstruction and stuffiness in the throat, as if there were a foreign body, is caused by the stagnation and obstruction of the Lung and Stomach, where Wind-Heat pathogens lodge and contend, knotting at the throat. Therefore, *Taiping Shenghui Fang* states that worry, anxiety, rebellious Qi, and phlegm accumulation can all give rise to this disease.
