SV: Difficult patient case - help would be appreciated!

[Guest guest]

Thanks a lot for your answer Gye! I am trying to learn more about

5-element acupuncture (reading Lonny S. Jarett's books) so I feel more

than comfortable in trying to remove possible blocks!

Hi Carl,

 

In the 5 Element style we look for main blocks before we move into the

body of our constitutional treatment. One of those blocks are what we

call Entry / Exit blocks. We look for these by feeling the volume as

opposed to quality of the pulses. They are perceived as an energy dam

between the superficial flow of energy (Wei Qi) around the body. They

are found between the element pairs e.g. Wood / Metal. You will feel a

large volume of energy on the Wood pair and a emptiness on the Lung/L.I.

pair To clear the block you would tonify the Exit point of Liver

(Liv16) and the Entry point of Lung (Lu1) Left side, then right side of

the body.

 

It is like undoing a dam and produces quite useful results for both

emotional and physical problems. The reason I mention this technique is

that it sounds like she may have a block between the SI and Bladder.

When you would tonify SI19 and Bladder 1. If the S.I. feels like a 8/

10 with a slight percussive quality and Bladder is a 1-3 / 10 and feels

it is only a shadow of a pulse. When cleared you should feel the

difference immediately on the pulse. Where the SI would calm and the

Bladder come up equal in volume to the S.I. both 4 -6 /10 in volume.

 

It is good to check for any other blocks as now the energy is flowing

is may expose other blocks along the Wei cycle. You may occasionally

expect some emotional release after these are cleared. After these

blocks are cleared you should expect all the pulses to be even and you

can continue with you more TCM style work. This may be something you

would want to consider if you are comfortable with the idea,

 

All the best,

 

Gye
