Commentary:

The main function of Chize is to clear heat, whether excess or deficiency from the Lungs, and to descend rebellious Qi. Lung Qi has a natural tendency to descend into the body. When Qi goes counter to its natural tendency (ie cough) this is called 'Rebellious Qi.'

Chize is He-Sea point of the Lung Channel.
