Guest guest Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 I have a clinical question for you. I saw a new patient yesterday who does not have enough amniotic fluid ( " dangerously low " ). She is 27, a long term vegetarian and 20 weeks pregnant. Her pulses tend to be weaker but they are not minute. Her body type is robust though she is slightly pale and there is a darkness under her eyes. Here is what I found. Kidney Qi deficiency - polyuria, nocturia (a lot), dark under eyes. Kidney Jing deficiency - a dip in the back of her tongue Slight Spleen Qi deficiency - slight scallops on the edge of her tongue but no digestive difficulties at all Blood deficiency - sallow complexion and weak pitted nails, poor night vision this helps explain her slightly scanty menses before pregnancy. No signs of Blood stasis except for somewhat tortured sub-lingual veins. Red dots on the tongue, which is just slightly pale, show some depressive heat. There is a slightly thick white moss in the back of the tongue. I am thinking of supplementing Spleen and Kidney Qi and nourishing blood with an emphasis on decreasing urination. I would include some gentle blood movers such as chuan xiong. My question is if you have any experience or suggestions for this? It's quite dangerous for the baby if not fatal. Thanks for any consideration you give this. best, Sharon Sharon Weizenbaum 86 Henry Street Amherst, MA 01002 413-549-4021 sweiz www.whitepinehealingarts.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
