Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I was hoping that some members would have some comments about the Hun. Giovanni tells us that the Hun relates to the Full Moon And disharmony causes insomnia, lack of direction, no inspiration, confusion etc. Over the years I have had many patients who are sensitive to the full moon. Symptoms include insomnia around full moon. I have also noticed that some patients even without knowing the moon is full complain of insomnia. Others say always they lie awake at full moon. Other patients feel really " spacey " , one patient told me once she got off the wrong railway station and didn't relize till she tried to get off the platform with the wrong ticket. Parents tell me their children have insomnia, crazy dreams and get hyper at full moon. It is well believed in occult literature that the libido is heightened during full moon. So I have a few questions. Can you have a OK physical Liver , ie without qi stasis, pain, PMT etc but just have Hun type symptoms. According to CM principles, why would the libido increase during full moon? Has anyone ever treated " moon sensatives " ? successful ? Apart from mu li, long gu, suan zao ren, and bai shao, can anyone suggest any herbs for the hun? Heiko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 This is a topic I like to discuss the most. ¡§ Hun¡¨ is like flowing air in our body, yes, part of Hun relate to the moon (not full moon) ¡§disharmony¡¨ causes insomnia, lack of direction, no inspiration, confusion etc, this is from TCM points of view. Ancient Daoist believed everyone have ¡§ three Huns, seven Pos¡¨, this is kind of philosophy which we grow up with in our Daoist society. Most patients have the problem during the full moon, because that ¡§ Huns are not staying in the house¡¨- it is Chinese profound again. It is depended on which part of Huns running to which directions, one is running up to the head (because of full moon) to disturb the ¡§Shen¡¨, one is running down to lower dan tian to disturb the ¡§Jing gate¡¨, the symptoms will occur like insomnia, lack of direction or high libido. These three Huns have to stay together, one of those symptoms will cause physical body get ill. In the TCM, we need to let the Huns always stay in the house which is Liver. That is mother & sun relationship, water-wood-fire¡K, this kind of patients sometime have Lv blood deficient (regarding my experiences), need to tonify the Lv blood, and add guiding herbs back to the ¡§house¡¨. I hope this short note can help you a little, & you are welcome to have any input on it. Christine W.
