Guest guest Posted September 12, 2001 Report Share Posted September 12, 2001 It's kind of difficult to think of other subjects at times like these (terrorist attacks) but I wanted to let you know Joe there is a method that someone else mentioned here for menstral cramps that would be exellent for your father in giving him energy. If you place a warm ginger compresses on his dan tien (belly botton area) this is one of the points on the governing channel for help with kidney yang deficiency which elderly people and people that are Ill can allways use. you could alternate from that point with warm ginger compresses on the back lumbar in the area of lumbar 2. this is the point of ming men fire. for kidney essense deficiency, which we all get as we grow older, basically it will give your father energy. warm ginger compresses can be given in several different ways. put a lubricant such as baby oil to the skin, place a slice of fresh ginger on it and a cone of moxa and burn the moxa. the ginger will absorb into the skin and yet the skin will be protected. If moxa cones are not available then improvise with fresh ginger placed directely on the sights, and place a wet towel as hot as possible over it and change towels as they cool. try this every other day or as needed. I will surely give him energy and won't take very long before he notices a difference. sometimes it is immediate. sorry I didn't think of this any sooner as I have been super busy with school. take care, Melanie ___________ For the most comprehensive Traditional Healthcare information on the Web, visit http://www.acupuncture.com today!
