A clarification on Wind Chill herbs

[Guest guest]

I need to clarify something about Wind Chill herbs. Back when I was a lot

sicker than I am now and back when I was still having those horrible Wind

Chill headaches, in accordance with sound TCM practice, there were herbs for

expelling Wind Chill in with the Qi tonic, Yang tonic, and other herbs I

required. But as soon as the worst manifestation of the Wind Chill, the

headaches were gone, I made the mistake of thinking that I didn't need them

anymore.

 

Just because the worst manifestation was gone, this did not mean that I

wasn't still having Wind Chill problems. This is something to be aware of

when concocting formulas for yourself or others. Often, when a worst

manifestation is gone, a person may assume that a particular herb or class

of herbs no longer is needed when in fact, they may still be needed. To put

this another way, those headaches were so bad that in comparisson to them, I

didn't pay any attention to anything else. And there were other problems

besides Wind Chill problems that were still so much more pressing.

 

Something else to be aware of is the role that denial can play. It was

personally very hard for me to admit that I'm still a person who is more

vulnerable to Exterior Pernicious Evils than most people. Back in early

December we had a very balmy day here - high 60s. Although it didn't feel

as warm as I like it, it wasn't uncomfortably cold to me either. It was

breezy that day, but it was a very, very mild breeze and it wasn't

constantly blowing. I love to do yard work, and thought that was a perfect

day. After a couple of hours my back began to hurt and I felt very tired.

It was bad enough that night that I was having problems getting up and down.

I never connected the pain and tiredness to the Wind Chill because it was

balmy and the breeze wasn't that bad. I didn't think, didn't want to think

that I was still that vulnerable to Wind Chill. So I never even considered

it. Looking back I realize I should have.

 

These are the types of possibilities to be aware of when analyzing cases.

Sometimes people will be in denial about how bad off they are. Sometimes a

problem will be so painful and so debilitating that other manifestations

pale in comparisson, don't seem like that big of a deal, and may even be

totally ignored by a person because they are so mild in comparisson to the

worst manifestation.

 

BTW, there has been a lot of volume on Hotmail during the last two weeks.

If screens on Hotmail are slow to load, if your messages are not showing up

right away, this probably is the reason. I posted 2 last night to this

message group that I got a delay notice on this afternoon.
