Migraine case study:Dehydration/ herbs for frequent urination

[Guest guest]

Yes, I'm sure she is dehydrated. I don't know about the mineral

deficiency, as she takes a feverfew/calcium/magnesium supplement. I

imagine her electrolytes are off, but there's no tenting of the skin,

so it's probably not marked. I suppose I could suggest Gatorade. She

does not want to drink because of urinary frequency. She does not

think there is damage to her Bladder, bit it can't be ruled out, due

to childhood abuse. I don't like to push her about drinking because it

seems like most of her life, she has been waiting for instructions,

without really being invested in results.

 

I've tried helping with the frequent urination. In the system I use,

Bladder 2 is sensitive in people with SAIDH (vasopressin imbalance)

and hers is not. I usually needle Kidney points and BL 23 anyway. I'm

a little wary of using moxa on Ren 3 or DU 4 since she has heat

internally.

 

I tried for two weeks to address herbally, with no results. (below).

Doses: 9 grams/day of Mintong 5:1 powder.
