What exactly is mu li being used for? I posted the case study because i was having trouble understanding the possible asymmetry between the diagnosis and treatment strategy, and was wondering how others interpreted it. I would of thought in case such as this, that the emphasis would have been on percolating water and assisting qi transformation. Instead the Doctor chose too nourish yin fluids, clear heat and disinhibit urination. How many people would have chosen a similar treatment strategy in the light of a pale, swollen tongue, deep weak pulse, whole body edema, inhibited urination and utter lethargy. The Doctors diagnosis amounted to something described as Qi exhaustion in principle. still perplexed, matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may play an important part in the decision making process in regards to treatment strategy vs. diagnosis. Brian C. Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
