Guest guest Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Hi everyone I am hoping you can help! I am a newly qualified Acupuncturist and have a patient coming to see me with long standing raynauds. I know I need to see him to syndrome diagnose but was wondering if there were any points that are particularly useful for this condition? I've learnt a lot from this site by the way!Thanks to all who write in it. Thanks Sharon C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 It's easier and quicker to diagnose 5 E profile than to figure out a topical approach. However if you want a useful intervention while 5 E is being created: 1. Find asymmetry, see shoulder height, check torso turning for Dai problems, see leg length when prone on table and feet hanging free. If there si, and I am almost certain there is at the shoulders for Renaud to come about, set it right with simple reflex releases. 2. Find out if there is an 8 Oceans imbalance. A very simple way is to palpate all 8 points for any anomaly. If found, and you are likely to see this on SJ - Dai connection, set it right with tiny seed and thread moxa. I imagine GB 41 and SJ 5 will be tender. 3. Look at the Hara and see if any of the elements marked there are out of line Set these right with remote points. 4. Look at L and R ST 27 area or so for tenderness and induration. If found this alone could be the reason to a large extent for the problem. To set these right work on L and R LV 4 and LU 5. 5. Look at the ears in good natural light and set right whatever you find wrong. You may find a discoloration on ram wrist area. This will be easiest venue to set things right. if you must treat locally, look for the bug in the scapula concerned. Look at SI points, esp ones near ridge of scapula towards the medial end.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Hi Sharron, I have treated a fair amount of patients with Reynauds Syndrome in the last 30 years. Basically I treat by tongue and pulse. Some points however, have been useful in every single case of Reynaus I have encountered. SI3, (with gold needles) SJ5, (with gold needles) B62, (with silver needles) GB41 (with silver needles). Most importantly, the herbal formula that has been of use in every instance is DANG GUI SI NI TANG. Hope this is useful. Feel free to contact me directly for more info since i seldom monitor the list these days. Doc Rosen --- sharon391362 <sharon.campbell8 wrote: Hi everyone I am hoping you can help!

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Dear Sharon, The first step has to be a complete diagnosis with pulse, tongue, symptoms so that the pattern(s) can be determined. Otherwise, the points are only symptomatic.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Good choice of points and herbs, Ron. I often use similar treatment with my patients as well. The extraordinary vessels are very important. On Apr 12, 2005, at 12:26 PM, Doc wrote: > Hi Sharron, > I have treated a fair amount of patients with Reynauds > Syndrome in the last 30 years.
