Commentary states: The throat is the passage for the ascent and descent of Qi. If the Zang-Fu organs are harmonious and Yin and Yang ascend and descend in coordination, respiration will proceed without obstruction. Once unregulated, cold and heat syndromes may arise. Heat causes swelling and blockage of the throat, or pain extending to the mandible, hindering diet; cold causes hoarseness of voice, or a sensation of choking in the throat as if a foreign body were present. The manifestations are numerous and must be carefully examined.
