Internal Cinnabar

Internal Cinnabar Internal Cinnabar (Nèidān): In this clinical context, it refers to a deep-seated subcutaneous rash rather than Taoist meditation practices is a condition where a bright red color occurs beneath the skin and hair, but does not manifest clearly on the surface. When held up to a lamp, it looks like cinnabar wrapped in fine gauze, glowing through with transparency; for this reason, it is called "Internal Cinnabar." This variety of cinnabar-rash is caused by "fetal heat" an accumulation of "heat" toxins passed from mother to child. It occurs because the mother, after conceiving, did not avoid "hot" or spicy foods, instead indulging her cravings and eating greedily, or perhaps because she contracted a "wind-heat" illness during the summer months.
