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.
