Guest guest Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Hi Mary, It sounds like there are a lot of complicating factors, such as phlegm-dampness and interior heat, but I would still try to address the interior wind as the basis of initial treatment. Common points to clear interior wind are GB-19, GB-20, GV-20, GV-17, GV-16, GV-15, GB- 31, and LV-3. I would test all of these points for reactivity. Also, you might consider some select Jing-Well points, which are also very effective for clearing interior wind and accumulated interior heat.
