Extraordinary Vessels

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

I was wondering if anyone has an opinion about the use of

extraordinary vessels. I use them a lot and find them very

effective. My question is if there is reason to believe that we

should avoid over-using them? I have this idea in my head that

perhaps this reservoir of energy should not be tapped into too

often. Can they be depleted and therefore not available later, for

instance in old age?

 

I'm treating a pregnant patient right now who is very yin deficient.

She is too nauseas to tolerate herbs. Therefore I am tempted to do Lu

7/K 6 every other week with K 3 on the off weeks. Any reason not to

use the extraordinary vessels so often?

 

Thanks for your thoughts,

 

Laura
