RE: To Chris....Weird! Pulse say Period wont come today BUT IT DID!

[Guest guest]

In Chinese medicine the immune system is called " Wei Qi " or defensive

Qi. The lungs are responsible for the Wei Qi. The Wei Qi circulates

very superficially through the body dealing with anything that is " not

self " including pathogens. The ancient Chinese didn't know about

auto-immune issues, that is true, but auto-immune issues can be treated

with Chinese medicine based on the pattern they present. Some

practitioners have had remarkable results treating auto-immune using

Chinese medicine. I haven't had much luck treating auto-immune issues

myself and tend to refer them out to Western docs, or an herbalist I

highly respect her in Phoenix.

 

I have had a few patients come to me for infertility (which I treat a

lot) who had lots of auto-immune challenges. I am happy to work with

them but prefer to work as a team with their Western doctor.

 

I hope this answers your question and good luck!

acupuncture To Chris....Re: Weird! Pulse say Period wont come

today BUT IT DID!

 

 

thank you so much for your reply! Yes you are right, its a short

period (sorry TMI) 3 days only! I wonder if short period is bad

according to TCM?

 

Can I also ask you something else. I always see from brochures of

acupuncture clinics that acupuncture treats infertility, auto-immune

disease, liver problems, etc. and so i told the acu/TCM doctor that i

want my reproductive auto-immune issues treated but she said that in

chinese medicine there is no such thing as immune system. Then why

would they say that they can treat auto-immune disease?
