In cases of injury to yin deep luo-connecting channels, there is a tendency to bleed?

Bleeding tendencies associated with injury to the yin deep luo-connecting channels are often seen as moving downward. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the yin channels, particularly those associated with the kidneys and spleen, are responsible for nourishing and moistening the tissues and organs. When these deep channels are compromised or injured, there can be a failure in their ability to contain the blood, leading to a tendency for bleeding to occur.

The downward movement is consistent with the natural flow of yin energy, which is associated with cooling, nourishing, and descending functions in the body. This flow can manifest in bleeding that occurs from the lower parts of the body, such as the lower gastrointestinal tract or reproductive organs.

In contrast, upward bleeding tends to be associated with excess conditions, often linked to yang energy or heat patterns, which is not the case when discussing the propensity for bleeding from deep yin channels. Therefore, the downward bleeding reflects the imbalance and dysfunction resulting from an injury to these channels, highlighting a disruption in the containment and regulation of blood flow associated with yin energy.
