Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 That is ture. Addisted patietns almost have emotional problem. So help patients quit smoking at same time you need to help their emotional problem, like depression, anxiety... Some times I can't help them like comulication problems that between emproyee and emproyer. But I can help their illness and emotional problem (they can deal with they faced problem) with or without medications to help them quiting smoking.

I was just wondering whether you worked on their 'will' and used points such as Bl52, and how you addressed their addiction physiologically.

Clean the stomache, lungs and liver heat, tonify the kidney. Plus scalp needles and Ht7 to control depression. The pt. needs Chinese herbal medicine too. no moxa or local (worse place) moxa. Judy Hello members, I need your help, please excuse my bad Englisch. In this case I don´t know what to do. 23 year shy male student feared his classmates and teachers. Emotional disturbed, feels very often useless and no power, he is not able to learn, to concentrate and depressed about his exam results. Sometimes he eates to much but is not fat. He went to bed at 12 p.m.. In his puberty he was physicaly overloaded, because he had no friends since he was 12 years old. His sexual life started with 19 and is now maybe hyperactive. Since one year he has a lovely girlfriend and they are happy together. But his physical problem are still there. His face and back skin has pimpels caused by a strong dysfunction of pores. He also loses hair. His ears produce to mutch earwax and the skin in it is like his face skin flaking off. These points are one reason that he don´t like himself. He has often cold hands and feets. His pulse is slow and weak and his tongue ist not swollen and only at the kidney area a little white coated. How should I treat him? I thougt its a kidney yang deficienty, but what else? Which points are importent? KI 3, KI 7 RM 4, DM 4, RM 6 Should I moxa and treat with electro acupunture? Many thanks in advance and the best wishes Mathias Andrä Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
