A
  • generally used to disperse excess only
  • used to expel pathogenic influences and for disorders along Yang channels

Q

what are functions of xi-cleft pts? (different fx for yin and yang xi cleft pts, and their general usage combined)

A
  • used for PAIN, esp Yang xi-cleft pts (disperse)
  • Yin xi-cleft pts can be used to help the zang hold onto or manage yin-fluids and blood (for leakage tonify; for stasis disperes)

-can drive PF into level of Bones-joints –> so bleed, disperse, or cup & add other pts to direct pathology out of the vody (i.e. shu-stream + Jing-well_

Q

what is the pathway of the muddy pill?

what is the significance of the muddy pill?

A

-from basin of clavicle (ST 12/Ren 22) –> to the pelvic basin / navel Ren 8 [umbilicus is our first “wound”]

  • this process starts the combustion of Jing, housed by the KD (left KD is true KD, right is Ming Men Fire)
  • then Jing is distributed through MU pts (through generation cycle), then SHU pts (in control cycle) and then to the Yuan/source pts.
  • more dense –> more energetics
  • the source qi is not distributed exactly evenly which, influences a person’s temperament, strengths & difficulties in life.

Q

names the sequence of MU pts

A

follows generating cycle
metal (LU descends and KD grasp the LU qi)–> water disseminates and generates Wood –> Fire –> Earth

CV 22 –> Ren 8 (navel)
CV 22 –> LU 2 (original LU mu pt, modern TCM LU 1) –> ST 25 (LI) [–> GB 25] –> Ren 3 (BL) –> GB 25 (KD) –> GB 24 (GB) –> LR 14 (LR) –> Ren 17 (PC) –> Ren 5 (SJ) –> Ren 14 (HT) –> Ren 4 (SI) –> Ren 12 (ST) –> LR 13 (SP)

Q

what is the pathway and activation of shu pts?

A 
Ren 3 (BL mu) --> wei qi, first meridian for sinew channels, energy gathered at this point descends in Ren 1 --> comes around to DU 1 --> fills the holes/liaos in the sacrum --> KD shu/BL 23, lowest Zang/Yin shu pt --> travels up the Bladder channel and fills all the Shu pts.
-the dissemination of combusted Jing/KD Qi into the BL shu is San Jiao Mechanism.

  • moxa t tonify Yang or Moxa (possibly dispersing moxa or warming to soften) to allow movt in the places where a person’s water/KD is stuck/the places a person is having difficulty moving their water (felt as thick accumulation at BL shu)
  • needle toward Du Mai to nourish Yin aspect of organ; needle away from Du mai to disperse congestion or invigorate the yang aspect of an organ
17
Q

what is fx of KD Shu’s points?

A

release latency from that related element; latency that is being financed (held latent) by KD. What is being held latent could be emotional but not necessarily just emotional.
latent sadness –> KD 26
Latent anger –> KD 24

pathology that is held latent for a long time, taxes the body’s resources

18
Q

name the KD shu points

location?

A 
KD 26 (LU / Metal) - 1st intercostal space
KD 25 (HT/PC/ Fire) - 2nd ics
KD 24 (LR / Wood) - 3rd ics
KD 23 (SP / Earth) - 4th ics
KD 22 (KD / Water) - 5th ics

2 cun lateral - post natal
0.5 cun lat - prenatal

19
Q

what does “Hui” mean? what is significance of hui/influential points?

A

means gathering or meeting
JY says influential pts are an outgrow that comes from an understanding of Mu pts; and Mu pts are basis of influential pts
[3 mu influential pts are Mu pts]

20
Q

name the 8 mu pts:

A 
MIDDLE ------> CHEST -----> 4 LIMBS
CV 12 (Fu)         CV 17 (Qi)         LU 9 (vessels )
LV 13 (Zang)      BL 17 (Blood)   GB 34 (sinews)
                                                 GB 39 (marrow)
                                                 BL 11 (bones)

Zang & Fu create Qi & Blood… which feeds anatomy of body (4 limbs)

21
Q

what is the use of Hui points?

A

can be used to draw pathology out of their related tissues (but use of secondary vessels such as Luo, Divergent, Sinew does this better) –> Hui became popular when secondary vessels were abandoned for a time

22
Q

what are indications of Ren 12?

location?

A
  • 4 cun above umbilicus
  • mu of ST
  • Hui of Fu (ST, LI, SI, BL, GB)
  • related to Ying
23
Q

what are indications of Ren 17?

location?

A
  • 4th intercostal space
  • mu pt for PC
  • Hui of Qi / wei Qi
  • ST is origin of fluids and is involved in formation and integrity of Ying Qi
  • emotional trauma affecting the gut will obstruct the CV 12 area
  • emotional trauma cause Wei qi to move into Ying level to try to “protect” the individual. this causes stasis in middle heater and ove time a wei qi def

difficult emotions –> Gut CV 12
CV 17 moves wei qi –> CV 12 –> to help deal with difficult emotions
this leads to:
wei level - def
ying level - excess/stagnation
luo vessels formed to try to harmonize these movt and to attempt to move the excess (ying) back to the def (wei) and/or hold the emotions in blood in Luo

24
Q

what are indications of LU 9? location?

A
  • at wrist, bt radial artery and tendon of abductor pollicis longus
  • shu stream, yuan, Hui of Vessels
  • activates LU source qi to feed CV 17 (wei qi)
  • formation of Luo do not solve the problem, but will make person able to cope. wei qi will protect the emotional body but in the process chest/zong qi will become depleted over time
  • crackly wrist may be sign LU 9/source qi is trying to boost the energy at CV 17
25
Q

what are indications of BL 11?

location?

A
  • lower border of T1, 1.5 lat
  • Hui of Bone
  • Sea of Blood pt
  • body not comfortable with stasis in middle burner and may try to move pathology to back and into bones.
  • from BL 11, pathology moves into shoulders/bones
  • wei qi is now moving into Bones causing stasis in bones –> seen in patients who complain of shoulder pain w/o injury (pt w frozen shoulder w a history of GI problems and possible chest problems such as asthma)
26
Q

what are indications of BL 17?

location?

A
  • lower border of T7, 1.5 cun lat
  • Hui of Blood
  • Shu of Diaphragm
  • chronic pain/pathology consumes Qi and Blood and can lead to Blood def –> blood stasis
  • long term emotional difficulties - the body creates Luo to hold onto emotions
27
Q

what are indications of LV 13?

location?

A
  • directly anterior and inferior to free end of 11th rib
  • Hui of Zang

  • long-term Blood xu can lead to depletion of Yin and Humors of Zang
  • as the Mu pt of SP, tonifies SP, which will enable it to produce more blood
28
Q

what are indications of GB 34?

location?

A
  • below lat aspect of knee, 1 cun anterior and inferior to head of fibula
  • Hui of Sinews (muscle/tendons)

29
Q
