Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Dear Boris, First and foremost determine a differential diagnosis. Speaking from experience, one needs to be very careful at getting it right. Salivation usually is a manifestation of Spleen Qi vacuity, and if so consider using herbs in decoction or powder form modified according to the specifics of the patient, a formula such as Liu Jun Zi tang, for example, as a base. However, there can be other causes for excessive salivation as well. For example, it may result from extreme dryness with constitutional Yin vacuity and liver wind, as in my wife's case, in which case using Ban Xia only exacerbated her salivation! Instead I used Bei Mu Gua Lou San in combination with San Jia fu Mai Tang modified. Good luck, --- On Sun, 4/26/09, ivanicboris <ivanicboris wrote: ivanicboris <ivanicboris salivation Chinese Medicine Sunday, April 26, 2009, 8:14 AM Please have someone experience of treating salivation in cases of cerebral palsy with acupuncture, tuina or other ???

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I have had several interesting cases where salivation was a Kidney-related problem. These cases often manifest with many and varied signs and symptoms of phlegm (cysts, lumps, nausea, etc) often have extreme nausea throughout pregnancies - interesting that Kidney 3 has a thickening of saliva under the tongue as an association in many texts. Clavey distinguishes sublingual saliva - Kidney from drool - Spleen. --- On Sun, 4/26/09, wrote: Re: salivation Chinese Medicine Received: Sunday, April 26, 2009, 6:25 PM Dear Boris, First and foremost determine a differential diagnosis.
