when to prescribe for gan mao

[Guest guest]

Todd et al,

 

Without debating whether or not MHT was the appropriate prescription (since

there really isn't enough informaton) it would appear to me that the supervisor

was off the mark. First, an exterior resolving prescription like MHT does most

definitely have near immediate effect. Further, when combined with some good

advice like cover up and sweat it out this type of formula can, in fact, push

the exterior pathogen out without further progression of symptoms (it doesn't

have to take a week).

 

I like to have the person take a hot shower of bath after one dose of a formula,

then take another dose and go to bed or lay on the couch bundled up and allow

the sweat to come forth. This is a combination of traditional herbal Western

therapy with some CM diagnosis, works like a charm.
