How come Reinforcing is much easier to achieve than reducing?
One of my friend, I tried to take away his damp heat, it is very hard.
He has very yellow thick tognue coating, and red swallon tongue, but the pules is normal, not rapid, bitter feel in the mouth.
I worked on the liver and Ballbaldder, select Yangfu and XingJian, he didn't have any reaction, still thick and yellow coating.
Then I tried to work on spleen / stomach meridian, take Sanyinjiao, zusanli,shangqiu, lidui. He still have thick and yellow coating, but his appetites improve a lot.
Then I guess he is deficiency of yin causing hyperactive of yang, I worked on Sanyinjiao, taixi, taibai. He still have thick and yellow coating, but his speeping improved.
Would you please tell me what I have done wrong? How come I couldn't take away his yellow thick coating?
Thanks a lot
As matter of fact, if you know how to do the Reinforcing and Reducing, it's of no difficulty at all!
Why didn't you use some local points in the epigastric region?
I think you forgot Zhongwan (RN 12) and Tianshu (ST 25).
It's not Yin defiiciency!!! It's damp heat!!! Indeed!!!
You could try Zusanli (ST 36), Zhongwan (RN 12) and Tianshu (ST 25).
Meanwhile, you could add Neiting (ST 44), Taichong (LR 3) (Please tell me why!!! ), Quchi (LI 11), Fenglong (ST 40), and Neiguan (PC 6).
You don't have to all the points. You may choose what you like.
In fact, to reduce the damp-heat, it's very difficult.
Herbal medicine is much quicker than acupuncture for internal medicine.
Tutor,
You are right, I add the zusanli and zhongwan, it works. These yellow tongue coating disappere.
Thanks
Is that true? So quick?
Am I better than David King?
