Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Since no one has responded with any information in Chinese on post nasal drip I will ask the following questions. I personally have not heard of anything written (in Chinese) about this topic. I find it strange b/c it is Biomedically one of the most common causes for Cough. Also patients are aware that they have this and attribute not only cough to it, but various throat complaints (itchy, sore, etc) – With subjective experiences from patients, I would think that this would be more prevalent in our medicine. 1st – has anyone heard Chinese Docs talk about this? Or have they read about it? IS it in Sionou's books (SP?)? 2nd – How do others address this issue? -Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a specific study: Traditional (Acupuncture) Treatment of Chronic Rhinitis in 75 Cases (Yu Shuzhuang et. al.): Sept. 1993 published in The Journal of Traditional (JTCM) in Sussex, England.

Allen Brian, Can you supply a source for Rhinitis equally post nasal drip - IMO, This seems a little strange...??? Your study does not equate the two, and just mentions post nasal drip as a symptom for the addition of some extra points... -Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Maybe this is just a whole in CM... Alon, Do you have some more info on this? Do you have any discussions that equate the two... >>>Not formally. I also do not remember post nasal drip used to explain s/s in China or by other CM Dr. I often recommend patient gargle with an antacid to clear throat soreness from postnasal. Once the acidity is cleared patients throats often feel better. This can reduce the cough reflex in some (ie can help in irritable airways) Alon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Hi Jason, I believe this is covered under " dripping Brain " (bi nao, or something like that, if I remember correctly). I did a report on this some years ago. Seems to involve chronic congestion of the sinuses, preventing normal forward flow of mucus, so it flows backward. What I remember for treatment incorporated addressing blood stagnation in the head/face/sinuses as an essential strategy. Sorry, I don't have the particulars with me. < wrote: Since no one has responded with any information in Chinese on post nasal drip I will ask the following questions.
