Failure concepts (emptiness) and redundancy (completeness) used in Chinese medicine to differentiate between the strength and weakness of the body's defenses, and also between the abundance and weakness of the disease-causing principles, ie. redundancy and insufficiency syndromes characterize the state of pathogenic and antipathogenic Energy.

The concept of redundancy and insufficiency is used to characterize the corresponding pathological conditions., and completeness and emptiness - the functional state of various organs.

For example, fullness of the Stomach and Spleen indicates an active functional state of the gastrointestinal tract, and redundancy of the Stomach can manifest itself as hyperacid gastritis, severe pain syndrome, pathologically increased appetite, etc..

Fullness of the heart indicates the activity of the cardiovascular system., and the redundancy of the Heart is often manifested by irritability, нарушением сна, palpitations, arterial hypertension and other symptoms.

Although it should be admitted, that it is sometimes difficult to draw the line between redundancy and completeness, insufficiency, scarcity and emptiness.

Syndromes of redundancy or completeness often occur with the penetration of a pathogenic factor, and also due to imbalance in the functions of internal organs, as a result, metabolic disorders occur and pathological products accumulate in the body (slime, stagnant blood, etc.)

Common symptoms of excess are: сильное, noisy breathing, agitation, нервозность, feeling of fullness in the chest, sharp pain, increasing with pressure, increased muscle tone, высокое артериальное давление, temperature, lack of urine or often painful urination, thick coating on the tongue, strong rapid pulse.

For example:

• arterial hypertension (excess of internal Fire of the Heart or Liver);

• thermal, sunstroke when exposed to excessive heat, overheating in the sun (excess pathogenic exogenous Heat);

• excessive cooling, frostbite with a decrease in body temperature, drowsiness, etc.. (excess of exogenous pathogenic Cold).

In oriental medicine, in most cases, excess syndromes are considered as a consequence of the failure of other functional systems of the body..

For example, arterial hypertension (excess of internal Fire of the Heart or Liver) is more often a consequence of yin deficiency (vital substance) Congenital or acquired kidneys, etc..

This is very important, as it allows you to apply treatment, root cause, to strengthen a weakened functional system with deficient Fire syndromes.

Failure syndromes (scarcity or emptiness) may be congenital and may be acquired. The symptom of emptiness occurs due to the imbalance of body functions..
Functional impairments can be caused by: lack of physical fitness, poor digestion, senile weakness sexual excesses, multiple births in women, sometimes due to severe chronic illness.

The deficiency syndrome always corresponds to the deficiency of antipathogenic Energy, but the pathogenic factor can be strong or weak, but may not be insufficient.

Common symptoms of deficiency: weakness, increased fatigue, quiet voice, weak breathing, pain, decreasing with pressure, low temperature, arterial hypotension, decreased muscle tone, light body of the tongue without plaque, thin weak pulse.

For example:

• deficiency of the immune system with a tendency to colds (deficiency of vital Energy and Yin of the Kidneys of a congenital or acquired character);

• chronic bronchitis with a sluggish course (deficiency of Yin and Chi Lungs);

• vegetative-vascular dystonia with paroxysms of the parasympathetic type against the background of congenital inadequacy of regulatory mechanisms (weakness of the kidneys, Hereditary Energy). In the differential diagnosis of deficiency and excess pain in difficult cases, special attention should be paid to the relation to pressure.: in deficiency syndrome, pain is relieved by pressure; with excess syndrome - increases.

A combination of excess and deficiency syndromes is possible. For example, with Yin deficiency of the Kidneys, there may be an excess of Fire of the Heart syndrome, which is normally inhibited by the Kidneys. At the same time, the symptoms of Yin deficiency of the Kidneys are weakness, утомляемость, dry mucous membranes, violation of the menstrual cycle, etc.. combined with symptoms of an excess of Heart - red tongue, "Tides", Feeling hot in the upper body, high blood pressure, etc.. A similar syndrome is often observed in menopause..

In the treatment of deficiency syndrome, acupuncture is used with a soft stimulating or regulating method with a warm needle, massage, fortifying agents, phytotherapy, warming up.

In the treatment of excess syndrome, acupuncture is used to dissipate, braking method, with an excess of exogenous Cold - warming up, moxibustion, other thermal treatments.
