Guest guest Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 not sure if this will apply to your particular case . . . i tx a 65y+f this winter for cervical distonia. the presentation was quite different: SOB, head and arm tremor ®, and hypertension. cc: tremour. i used scalp acu with e-stim. she responded quite well. marked imp. in the tremour. migrains can take a while to tx, esp. if they are long standing (you already know this). maybe try scalp acu with estim for the migraine? just a thought. if the allergy sx present with rhinitis with wh or clear discharge, try xiao qing long tang. i've been using it lately for w/c rhinitis, am pleased with results. i might also look at addressing the sp with her (guessing you are). maybe xiao yao wan, jia jian. hope this is helpful to you, k On 6/1/07, petrabuchanan <petrabuchanan wrote: > > Female, 62.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 " very fit " ---low body fat, liver blood and yin vacuity? " dusky tongue " ---blood stagnation? " hypoglycemia " --spleen vacuity, liver depression? " healthy diet " ---raw foods, cold foods, ? depressive heat in the digestive system due to " gummed up " works? I find treating shaoyang (gb41 th5)+ cv12, st25, lv3 li4 sp6 gb20, gv20,yintang and clearing taiyang with guasha goes a long way for ribside pain and opening flow in all the yang channels. adding peuraria and some salvia may help.
