**Commentary:** Regarding Heart Labor Disease (a deficiency syndrome of the Heart caused by excessive mental exertion), treatment should involve tonifying Spleen Qi to benefit it. When Spleen Qi is prosperous, it influences and nourishes the Heart. If people violate the Qi of Summer, the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine channel will not grow properly, leading to an internal emptiness of Heart Qi. Following natural laws leads to life; violating them leads to death. Following them leads to cure; violating them leads to chaos. Reversing compliance into violation is called "Internal Obstruction" (Nei Ge, a state where Yin and Yang energies repel each other internally), and disease arises. The symptoms include frequent forgetfulness, depression, loose stools resembling duck feces, oral ulcers that persist for a long time without healing, dry ears with tinnitus and inability to hear distant sounds, as well as scorched hair and dull complexion. Such patients may die in Winter.
