Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Hi Folks, I have a 52 yo male patient suffering from blethrospasm, a condition where his eys involuntarily shut constantly rendering him virtually blind. He is a fire constitution His pulses are tense and pounding indicating stagnant qi and heat. He has Hypertension that he is medicated for. My diagnosis is xs liver fire and wind. I'm giving him Bupleurum and Dragon Bones with tian ma, gou teng, suan zao ren, acorus added. He loves treatment and the herbs are greatly relaxing. Zero response of the symptoms however after 2 months. He hasn't responded to any of the Western treatments either-drugs or botox injections to kill the nerves. I've never treated this before. Any ideas or experience with this symptom? Thanks, Lonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What points have you used? Greetings.
