Majid may be right. Pharyngitis / tonsillitis due to streptococcal and other

infections often arise in combination with headaches and nephritis.

 

In TCM, KI controls throat (pharynx, Eustacean Tube, ear. Tonsillectomy

scars could impact on circulation of KI Qi.

 

Are there other S & Ss to indicate KI problems? If so, in addition to Majid's

suggestions, I would consider also:

 

(a) Direct LLLT of the pharynx / tonsil area (via the mouth), or indirect

(externally applied) LLLT over the throat area;

 

(b) AP at BL23 (KI Shu Pt) + GB25 (KI Mu Pt) + KI07 (KI Mother Pt) + LI04

(Master Pt for Throat / Tonsils) + ST36 (Master Pt for Qi and connected to

temporal area);

 

© Homeopathic remedies: Tonsillinum (tonsil nosode) or Streptococcal

nosode + Arnica (for traumatic / soft tissue injury) + Hypericum (because

neural mediation is almost certain in this case).

(Z_09 = Taiyang; Z_03 = Yintang)

 

Best of luck,

Thank you, Phil. I have some questions for clarification:

 

What is LLLT?

 

What are these numbers you include here?

 

" 020400 head, forehead, vertex, occiput, temple, headaches, sinusitis etc

52/286/.965

 

LI04 GB20 Z_09 GV20 LU07 Z_03 BL10 LI20 BL02 BL60

..902 .845 .725 .657 .635 .610 .556 .540 .500 .494

 

(Z_09 = Taiyang; Z_03 = Yintang) "

 

Do you think herbal formulas are unnecessary? Or is there something you would

recommend?

 

Thank you for your help,

Andrea Beth

020400 = database code for that indication (02, first 2 digits indicate head)

 

See: http://homepage.eircom.net/~progers/ad2.htm

 

" The Lesion / Symptom Codes (in Column 1) follow a regional sequence as

follows:

Emergencies=01xxxx;

Head=02xxxx; Neck=03xxxx;

Thoracic Limb=04xxxx;

Thorax=05xxxx;

Abdomen=06xxxx;

Pelvic Limb=07xxxx;

Skin=08xxxx;

Miscellaneous=09xxxx

 

> 52/286/.965

 

There were 52 references listing points for that indication

 

A total of 286 points were listed in those references for that indication

 

On a weighted " citation score " for the output (where top texts had a score of

1 and texts of less than totally reliable has smaller scores), the max citation

score possible for any point in the formula was calculated as 0.965

LI04 was highest citation (score .902 out of a max possible of .965)

GB20 was next highest citation (score .845 out of a max possible of .965)

etc

These are two " Strange / Extraordinary Points " in temporal fossa and

between eyebrows (on glabella), respectively. See the point codes used at:

I am not confident enough of my herbal knowledge to advise on that. I am

sure that expert herbalists would have many useful suggestions
