Fwd: Oh! ---- earth-branches associations

[Guest guest]

Hi Tay,

I have a curious question..... I have seen these translations

before and wondered where they came from. In TCM we learn

different translations such as:

Shen - Kidney

San Jiao - TB

Pi - Spleen

Wei - Stomach

Xu - Heart

Gan - Liver

Dan - GB and so on. Also the Zang Fu associations/pairings

are different i.e. LI - LU, ST - SP, etc.

Can you, or anyone, explain?

I dont distinguish fengshui from TCM.

I have a patient who had a vase with a dead rose in it.

The vase had a big belly filled with slimy rotten water, the stem of

the rose

had slimy white fungus in the part that was in the vase belly, the

rose was dry in its upper portion.

The patient has ascites (very big belly with rotten fluids) with

heart yin deficiency (dry mouth restless).

First thing I said: remove that rotten plant :-)

I like to visit patients at home as this gives me an 'instant'

diagnosis on whats wrong.

 

Greetings Tay.
