Fwd: The Acupuncture Treatment of Acute Conjunctivitis

[Guest guest]

http://acupuncture.com/Clinical/Conjunct.htm

 

Acute conjunctivitis is an eye condition characterized by itching,

sensitivity to light, stabbing pain, tearing, the sensation of something in

the eye, and burning sensations.

 

Readers new to TCM, note the possible involvement of Wind and the Liver. In

TCM the Liver is said to " open into the eyes " . Very often symptoms in the

eyes will indicate Liver imbalance. This isn't 100%, but whenever someone

complains of eye and/or vision problems suspect and rule in or rule out

Liver imbalance.

 

Also for those new to TCM, there often are more cases of conjunctivitis in

the spring than any other time of the year. Why? The spring in many parts

of the world tends to be the windiest time of the year. Note under

Differential Diagnosis where it says, " Wind Heat Syndrome " . Also, the Liver

is very vulnerable to the effects of Wind.
