I too have seen a number of patients who present with this kind of headache, and Maciocia's explanation makes perfect sense to me. Japanese meridian therapy has a dictum that yin tends to vacuity and yang tends to repletion. This means that over the long haul, the yin/internal organs/medial channels tend to go vacuous, which means the channels are tender to palpation but not actively painful, and the qi which leaves them moves into the yang organs/channels, especially the yang channels, which is the yang of the yang, so to speak. This is why most chronic pain patterns present along yang channels. People complain of pain along yang channels but are often incredibly sore to palpation on yin channels, particularly the paired organ channels or paired division channels. Joseph Garner' Interesting. I remember something like that from Jake Fratkin's seminar.. So then do you needle to tonify the yin channel and needle to disperse the yang channel? Would one use a kidney tonifier with HA herbs to treat this particular type of HA. Thanks, G SBC DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc.
