Guest guest Posted May 14, 2000 Report Share Posted May 14, 2000 I relise that there are different opinions about who translated something correctly or incorrectly.I have just a simple question .I have a patient who is liver fire /with damp heat burning downwards who has one main distressing symptom....Itchy anus. All my prescriptions have taken the heat out of his tongue etc .but no change to the itch. From a western medical perspective he has candida . Does anyone know any specific herbs or points that can address this symptom?

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2000 Report Share Posted May 15, 2000 Dear Heiko, It would help if you would list more details of the case, including pulse, tongue, and the overall symptom pattern. Also, dietary factors; some individuals react to foods such as avocado with this symptom. Also, how did he get the diagnosis of candida? The script long dan xie gan tang comes to mind, but perhaps you have already tried this one? >I relise that there are different opinions about who translated something >correctly or incorrectly.I have just a simple question .I have a patient who >is liver fire /with damp heat burning downwards who has one main distressing >symptom....Itchy anus. >All my prescriptions have taken the heat out of his tongue etc .but no >change to the itch. >>From a western medical perspective he has candida . >Does anyone know any specific herbs or points that can address this >symptom? > >Heiko Lade >Registered Acupuncturist / Chinese Herbalist >2 Jenkins St. >Green Island, Dunedin >New Zealand >Tel: (03) 488 4086, Fax: (03) 488 4012 >http://www.lade.com/heiko >Email: heiko > > >------ >CLICK HERE AND START SAVING ON LONG DISTANCE BILLS TODAY! >http://click./1/4125/9/_/542111/_/958293354/ >------ > >Chronic Diseases Heal - Chinese Herbs Can Help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 15, 2000 Report Share Posted May 15, 2000 Heiko, Have you tried adding she chuang zi and/or di fu zi to your prescription for the itching? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been using Damp heat herbs that go to the Large Intestine such as Huang Qin, Qin Pi? Possibly a short burst of these kind of herbs to clear up what is possiblly some residual Damp Heat in the Large Intestine.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2000 Report Share Posted May 15, 2000 Derek, It would be helpful to know which formulas you have already tried that haven't helped, but as far as points go, have you tried UB 40, 57 and Du 1? Tea tree oil diluted and applied locally can be helpful to the itching( it has helped many fungal-natured(gu-type?) problems. What are the nature of his stools? Strong smelling? Pasty? Urination color and frequency? The more information the better.
