Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hi Jennifer, I am not clear from this - does she have heavy bleeding now or not? If not now, how long ago and how heavy? It makes a difference in treatment. Also, does she have weakness in her low back or night urination? Does she have a sallow complexion, weak nails, floaters or poor night vision? Does she feel cold or warm? What are the signs you see of 1. Liver Blood Xu 2. Kidney Yin Xu 3. Spleen Qi Xu I don't see any of these. Are you just assuming they are there because she has had stress or are you basing this on signs and symptoms? I see Liver Stagnation (PMS, Tender Breasts), Damp accumulation (Puffy Tongue), and Liver Heat (Red edges to the tongue) The pale tongue could mean Qi Xu (of Lung, Spleen or Kidney) or Yang Xu or Blood Xu. It's not clear from your information which one it is. It's important not to go backwards - meaning - the presence of damp doesn't mean for sure Spleen Qi deficiency. The fact that she used to have heavy menses does not mean she is blood deficient now. The fact that she has had stress does not mean she has kidney weakness. The diagnosis has to be based on what is actually there. The weak Kidney pulse can just mean poor circulation in the lower body. Let me know the answer to the first questions and then I could be of more help.
