Seems like a basic prescription that can work Patrick. I would substitute Ren-6 for Ren-5 and add Sp-5. Also, B-20/ 21/ 23 and 25 can be effectively added. It´s important however, to distuinguish whether the Sp xu condition is more predominant than the accumulation of dampness or v.v. This will determine if you need to emphasize your needle technique on toniying the xu or disperse the excess dampness. Sometimes, when cold is predominant, you may need to add other points + warming techniques, or, if blood stasis is the main issue, adjust your selections and techniques accordingly. |
