Migraine case study: Dr keikobad

You wrote-

"

almost certainly stuck in LV vessel terminating branch "

 

I agree. So how do I treat that? And moxa at DU20 was to move the

phlegm and blood, which seems to be stuck. It wouldn't be my first

impulse, but how do I move it then?

I'm not floowing the horary suggestions you are making? are you

suggesting I treat her at Kidney/Bladder time, using the open points?

 

You say her system is about to do something percipate?

OK

 

take a deep breath and decide on one course from amongst the many offered

 

to begin with you were unsure and with so much input this can complicate

matters

 

what i am suggesting is a patterns based approach

 

in this system we will not treat the pain directly but the cause thereof

unless it is urgent and acute

 

can you work with me and establish a pattern?

 

i am thinking on the basis of your data it is a primary problem with LU

Metal and a secondary involvement of LV Wood

 

signs for LU:

 

[all may not be present]

 

a pair of small indentations on tongue just short of the tip

or a conical or triangular tongue tip

tender LU 1 & 2 - relived by massaging LU 5

tender back shu LU

tender both sided K points on thorax

dry skin

hemorrhoids with occasional bleeding

stooped shoulders

dose not sweat

childhood asthma of xu kind

problems at 3 A to 7 A or 3 P to 7 P

 

v imp - a whitish shiny tinge on face

 

signs for LV:

crenellated tongue sides

purplish patches on tongue

tender LV 14 R

tender back shu LV

scleral injection on outer canthus

tender GB 41 or 40

tender congested R hypochodrium

 

v imp - a greenish tinge on temples or under eyes

 

if you can confirm this one can begin to decide pattern

 

please know that finally you will decide what to do, all what i say is

at best educational

 

if you cannot come to a conclusion one will think of an alternate

approach but not that of symptomatic palliation

 

awaiting your input

 

ps where are you located?
