Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 Hello Harmonious Home, This is all from a 5 Element Acupuncture (emotional) perspective. So please see it as only one way of looking at your question. Cravings are very much part of the Stomach/Spleen part of the psyche. Without the food the person can start to feel some of their fundamental neediness. You can help them with points like Ren 12 or Ren 8(Spirit Deficiency) with lots of moxa. Stomach points like St20 (Receive fullness) or Spleen 16 (Abdomen Sorrow), St 14 (Storehouse). These will help the person feel some emotional fullness and sense of satisfaction. Again all early childhood emotional stuff that needs love and care. Let the herbs look after the Liv/GB stuff - I mean what Earth type person is not angry. Wheat intolerant is not really an allergy as much as a weakness in the stomach Qi. Once you bolster the Stomach / Spleen Qi all those symptoms should quieten. I recently had an article about Earth type people if you are interested in this perspective at http://www.members.optusnet.com.au/~5element/page10.html All the best, Gye 1. Food Allergies > Message: 1 > Tue, 31 Dec 2002 10:46:09 -0800 (PST) > JMS <harmonioushome2002 > Food Allergies > > > Does anyone have information on helping with food cravings during an elimination diet? I am working with someone who is wheat/dairy/sugar intolerant, but has a hard time staying away from these foods for longer than a few weeks at a time. She is currently being treated w/acupuncture and herbs for Liver Yang Rising (Tian Ma Gou Teng Yin) and a chronic Spleen deficiency, but is about to try the diet again. I would appreciate any advice.
