Asthma

[Guest guest]

First I have been meaning to write to say that yes gua sha on eczema

works. My patient is doing much better. I have a new patient who came

to me for allergies. 50yo, slippery pulse, red tongue, very cracked on

the front sides. I was thinking lung yin xu and qi xu and gave her

Herbal sentinal yin by Giovanni Maciocia becouse I have had great

success with this formula and yin xu patients. She also had night

sweats which are now gone. For the last week she has reported night

time asthma which she has a history of but has not had in a while. So

I am thinking the herbs were too cloying. But the tongue has me

stumped. Difficulty breathing out, worst around 4am, pulse much bigger

and slippery on right. She also reports eating a lot more wheat which

does not work well with her and that the asthma is better with exertion.
