How does one establish this for sure? Does this mean herbs are out altogether

for patients who react in this way? Is this a common problem?

To distinguish between a cold or an allergy, check and compare the

lung, spleen, liver, and SJ pulses. If sanjiao heat (right proximal

fu) is going towards the lung (right distal zang), and there is also

heat in the upper liver (left middle zang) reflecting the fever in

the muscles, then it is a common cold. But if there is no sanjiao

heat going toward the lung, and the lung congestion is due to heat

and mucus (dampness) that comes from the superficial part of the

spleen (right middle zang) to the long, then it is allergy. In this

case the superficial part of the spleen pulse is going towards the

deeper part of the lung.

 

If their pulse isn't showing any allergic response and you let them

take a small amount of the substance in question, you should see

their reaction. Their allergic response in the pulse movement should

be strongly acute if they were all right earlier but have taken the

herb or substance in question within the past half hour or so.
