Guest guest Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 What are the qualitative or functional differences between points like Du 24, Ren 17, PC6 and Heart 7 regarding shen and anxiety? I know the indications given by CAM and Deadman, but what about in the clinical world? I'm asking because I'm treating a patient with a lot of anxiety, stress (due to real life stressors), and a lot of phlegm heat. Excess condition with a wiry, rapid, slippery pulse and a tongue indicating phlegm heat. My treatment strategy (first treatment, he was seeing another intern) was to clear phlegm-heat (esp from the heart) and calm shen. I used ST40, Liv3, LI4, Sp3, PC5, LI11, Du24 and GB13. After the treatment he seemed much calmer. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
