1b. 4. 3b. is ting li zi ever used for invisible phlegm

[Guest guest]

Stomach is the root cause.

Phlegm pertains to the realm of the Stomach.

Worry/ mental clarity.

Da Huang is useful in mental clarity disorders.

Often there is a simple need to let go or release.

(Large Intestine Back Shu Spirit Point/ lateral to Bl 25)

Stomach goes down

Spleen - Liver upward

Shaoyang as the pivotal gate or hinge that works

erratically.

A Yang Excess condition. rather than a Yin Deficiency.

 

If Chana was a weaker constitution than her response would

be different. It would not present as PD like

IMO, Chana herbal formulas, TCM in general, have been more

focused on the yin.

Ed,

 

Remember, though Chana displays symptoms which are

Parkinsonian, or Parkinson's like, her etiology and

pathogenesis are very different. Her movement disorder

rather than being an essential aspect of the Western

Diagnosis, is incidental. The pattern is a series of

events, one causing the next to fall like dominoes: Extreme

worry and tension causes muscle tightening and (originally)

insomnia, muscle tightening and insomnia continues unabated

because of a hypertonicity of the sympathetic nervous

system, eventually this builds up to a seizure, the seizure,

releases some of the tension, but the resulting pain, causes

new tension, this in turn used to cause more insomnia and

fatigue, which in turn caused the Parkinson like symptoms.

And so on each month, round and round. Explain how this

would fit into your understanding.

 

Respectfully,

 

Yehuda
