Treatment of sore throat
<p>Dear Dr. King, <br />In the last part of the Course D, in description of treatment of sore throat for deficiency-heat syndrome the next method is recommended: “Select acupoints along the Lung and Spleen meridians”. <br />
But in the part of etiology and pathogenesis is described that yin fluid fails to moisten the throat due to the deficiency of kidney yin and deficiency-fire. <br />
Is there misprint – instead of Spleen meridian one must read Kidney meridian? All the more, described acupoints relate to Kidney meridian: Taixi (KI 3) and Zhaohai (KI 6).</p> <p>Dear Sophia, <br />
It's quite some time no hearing from you! <br />
So nice to see you here again!<br />
Personally I agree with you that the points should be selected from lung and kidney meridians instead of lung and spleen meridians. <br />
Very often, kidney is taken into primary consideration for the deficiency heat, so kidney should be more apt for this disorder. <br />
However, one point of spleen meridian is helpful here for this situation, that's SP 6.<br />
Maybe the author of the text think more of the spleen as the mother organ for lung, so the spleen is taken herein instead of kidney. Anyway, I prefer kidney for spleen. </p> <p>Dear Dr. King, <br />
Thank you very much for your so fast answer!</p>
