Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I am a student, just beginning my clinic training. 2 patients have come to me with similiar symptoms. at least in western terms : severe dizziness, exacerbated seasonally, and relieved by allergy meds.Both patients show some signs of liver blood deficiency and also have red tipped tongues, with histories consistent with emotional distress. Ive been mostly trained in 5E, and am very interested to hear how a TCM practitioner would (or has!) managed such situations. Thank you very much.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Lou, In your school library, find the book " The Clinical Experience of Dr. Shi Neng-Yun " . On pages 70 to 73, read the section titled " Prevention of Allergic Rhinitis through Wind Pool and Receive Fragrance " and then teach the self-massage techniques to your patient. I have taught the techniques to my patients since 1997, and found that those who followed the daily regimen had marked improvement. Per, Auricular Treatment: Formulae and Prescriptions by Dr. Li-Chun Huang (www.earmedicine.us), I have used the following auricular prescription: Allergic Rhinitis ----------------- Internal Nose External Nose Adrenal Gland Endocrine Allergic Area Spleen Lung Sympathetic Ear Apex (Bleeding) So, IMHO, use your 5 element theory to treat the root and self-massage and the above auricular points using ear seeds (and Ear Apex - bleeding) to treat their major complaint (dizziness due to seasonal allergies).

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hi Lou. Since now is the beginning of spring, there might be connected that the dizziness and Liver blood deficiency makes its notice more since it is the time of the Liver. Hard to say what the allergy meds do. But since they only relieve the symptoms for the moment they only act as biao-treatment (that is treat the symptoms, not the root) Would be better to have a little bit more on the symptoms. what are the signs of Liver blood deficiency? Hard to say from what you say to give you suggestions what to do. Red tip shows heat or fire in the heart. Should be from the emotional distress, since the hear is always involved in emotial stuff no matter what reason. But in which kind is the emotion? Fear, Worry, Stress, Anger? I there any sheat on the tongue? How are the sides of the tongue. How is the pulse? If there is allergy, Check also, Lung, Spleen, Kidney. Since you are 5E trained. Try to do the technique you have on the back shu points, don't remember the name. but you take them from up to down for the zang-organs and finish with the heart. that is Ub13, Ub15, Ub18, Ub20, Ub23 and finish with Ub14.
