Functions of the Lungs
The Lungs are called the "Lid of the Yin Organs"
1. Rule Qi and Respiration
2. Control the Channels and Blood Vessels (with the Heart)
3. Control dispersing and descending
4. Regulate and move the Water Passages
5. Control skin, sweat glands and body hair (the "Exterior")
6. Open into the nose
7. House the Po (corporeal soul - 魄)
8. Govern the voice
What good to us is a long life if it is difficult and barren of joys,
and if it is so full of misery that we can only welcome death as a deliverer?
- Sigmund Freud
