Re: Re:eczema/tonsilltis

 

Hi, Pam , Attilio,

Red tongue , no coating, wind s/s, vegeterian diet(for

7 y.o.!)

Maybe Yin and Blood Def plus Stagnated Heat in the

blood level from previous frequent exterior W-Heats.

Then: di gu pi, sang bai pi, lian qiao, sheg di, Niu

Xi(to direct down), shu di + others for Blood Def Wind

with heat aspects.

Everthing in addition to what Attilio said.

Hi Pam,

 

The wiry pulse with itchy skin and a sore throat looks

like Liver

Yang rising creating Wind. The fact that she had her

tonsils removed

points towards a protracted case. Also, the itching at

night shows a

Yin aspect, which could be caused by the Liver Yang

burning the Yin

but also the dark patches under her eyes, shows a

kidney deficiency.

The branch would be the Liver Yang rising with the

root being a

deficiency of the kidney. The weak stomach may point

to the Liver

attacking the Spleen and Stomach. Does she have loose

stools? How

were her emotions?

 

I would subdue her Liver Yang with minerals such as

Sheng Mu Li and

Dai Zhe Shi, release the Wind with herbs such as Niu

Bang Zi, Bo He,

Ju Hua, etc and tonify Yin, Mai Meng Dong, etc. I'm

not sure as to

whether minerals would be ok for a girl of 7, or the

dosage. Have

others had any experience with this?
