Guest guest Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Can anyone tell me what the significance of freckles in TCM diagnosis is? Since they are hereditary, they seem to be saying something about the constitution...a tendency to blood stagnation, or blood deficiency, perhaps? Thanks!

They are hereditary with kind of skin, and increase with exposure to sun, to some internal and external chemical states, and with age. Afflicted southern Chinese commonly adopt a more northern (less spicy/less flavorings) diet to diminish them. bye, vic -- Vic Williams (604)433-5189 -- www.strategicprocess.com -- www.spiralwild.com Empowering personal growth.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Hi Lisa, In TCM excess of freckles means Kidney jing deficiency due to sexual activity in older or lack of essence in young. At least it was what some prof. in Chinse have told us.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Did he know any red heads? Any Irish? I would tend to put freckles in the same category as eye color. Offspring of parents with widely different skin tone often have freckles. Now when it comes to aging, many people develop " liver spots " which are probably caused by deficiency, but I don't know if I would attribute it to sexual activity - I assume he means too much.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Hi Bart I agree with you. I think the meaning of freckles can vary with the people. Maybe for the Chinese guys it means Jing deficiency and can be related with sexual activity.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 I have a friend who recently had a freckel appear and disappear on CV14 who says that during this time a doctor told her she might have a heart problem and thinks she probably opened up a blockage that started to form. She's also had one appear on CV12 hat hasn't gone away yet. I think that along the same lines as interpreting freckles different for different people, there are other diagnostic clues which could vary from culture to culture - for instance early graying or balding of hair due to KD xu. This is so common with european decent that I don't think every case is due to KD xu. But it does seem to be a good model for chinese people because most seem to keep their dark color. --brian beard Chinese Medicine , " Jean " <jeanvet@u...> wrote: > > Hi Bart I agree with you.
