STOMACH QI
Stagnation Stagnation of bl ood in abdomen often manifests from surgical interventions, bruising, chronic in take of meds, respiratory disorders, hormonal imbalance, infections, high fever
Pulse should “ slant distally–slight wave”: should not be “ straight up and down” like the “pecking of a small bird”
Palpation: Left KD16, ST26, ST26, ST27 ST27 Tx: LV4(L), LU5(L), with flow of channel Chronic constipation: BL35(L) BL35(L) (rectal (rectal vein congestion) Can manifest manifest as persistent occipital headache headache on the right: If so, also needle into pressure pain on abdomen Needle into lump on ST27(L) if it’s there
Tx: Palpate down ST36 near the border of the tibia, needle into gummi es 10 degrees very shallowly. Start with left leg, may need to go to the right leg; can add moxa with needles Facial Facial pain, bell’s palsy. sinusitis, toothache: toothache: if no pressure pain at ST41, treat treat ST Qi Shin splints, patellar knee problems, problems, fluid in the knee: needle or tiger warmer on daily basis
BL35(L) to r elieve PP at BL 17-18(R) 17-18(R) Vascular Vascular compression of inner thigh may cause problem in relieving pressure pain: Needle Needle shallowly towards groin along L inguinal channel May also need to treat area lateral to ST30(L) toward inguinal ligament
IMMUNE Chronic problems, or acute exterior invasions Palpation: Right ST26, ST27: on e of the biggest ly mph areas Tx: LI10/11 (closer to SJ) SJ) perpendic ular: Nagano’s immune point (gummies) KD6 (or adrenal Tx): can Moxa SJ16 (also diagnostic area) DU12, DU14 Pressure pain in abdomen, not in SJ16 = harder to treat Pressure pain only with SJ16 = easier This treatment will balance a deficient or overactive immune system Sinus Inflamm ation: Nasal rinse, ST44,4 ST44,45, 5, GB40 (against meridian), side of nasal bone (or tiger warmer here) Tailbone injuries Palpation: DU2 Pressure Pain Tx: LU7-8, DU14 DU2: Moxa or Tiger Warmer Warmer
PP on abdomen: 1) Oketsu, Immune Immune 2) Heart 3) RN12 4) Inguinal ligament from ASIS to public bone
ADRENA L Palpation: Palpation: KD16 curving around umbillicus towards midline (naval) If pressure pain not present, can treat with puls es: 1) Rapid, tight, and thin @ 3 positions 2) Sinking and slow 3) Mark ed weakness weakness in 3rd position Palpate KD2 as well Tx1: STD: KD6, KD27, LU5: KD9 if KD6 doesn’t improve it Tx2: DAI: KD7 with flow , KD27: KD27: If GB26 GB26 pressur e pain (or (or big tickling sensation): palpate entire side at at level of umbillicus. Als o hav e pati ent t wis t fr om s id e to s ide wi th hand s beh ind head. If difficult to go to one side, Dai imbalance; imbalance; also use this with bone-related problems; OBGYN Probs, anything that stretches out the abdomen Tx3: ASIS: KD9 (with (with fl ow, perp or 45 deg): Pressure pain @ ASIS/Ing uinal att achm ent (t reat s ame si de) Tx4: Thyroi d, asthm asthm a: KD3, KD27: Pressure pain @ ST9; in in the asthma case, listen to how breathing changes, not pressure pain @ ST9; treat same s ide as ST9 PP KD2 pain = KD7, KD10, KD27; often with fertility problems; this treatment treatment trum ps others KD27 tender: HT7 on same side (15 deg with merid ian) to relieve Last resorts: resorts: 1) can needle needle into umbillicus (slowly) 2) GB25 3) SP SP Problem? SP5+SP9 SP5+SP9 (or just SP9, find gummi); als o helps with chronic appendicitis
