Give and example of yin and yang combo:
stomach disease= ST-36, SP-4
cough= LU-9, LI-11
Give and example of yuan source and lou-connecting:
LI disease= LI-4, LU-7
LU disease= LU-9, LI-6
kidney channel disease= UB-58
bladder channel disease= KID-4
you can use a single point= the lou-connecting point of the associated meridian
Give and example of front and back combo:
stomach disease= ST-21, UB-50
Give an example of MU and SHU combo:
stomach disease= RN-12, UB-21
Give and example of hand and foot combo:
front headaches: LI-4, ST-41
insomnia: KID-6, HT-7
Give an example of upper/lower combo:
toothache: LI-4, ST-44
heart/chest/ab disease: PC-6, SP-4
ear ringing: SJ-5, GB-41
Give and example for left and right combo:
stomach disease: both sides ST-36, UB-21
Give a quick explanation of what the 5 element theory is:
two parts:
1) 4 needle technique= generating cycle, good for psychological issues, simple issues
2) 8 needle technique= controlling cycle, complicated issues
Give both an excess and deficiency example of the 4 needle technique:
excess= HT= HT-7 (reduce), SP-3 (reduce)
both are earth points “son”
deficient= SP= SP-2 (tonify), HT-8 (tonify)
both are fire points “mother”
Give and example of both OVERACTING (over-controlling) and INSULTING (under-controlling):
OVERACTING: LV overacting SP:
SP xu= SP-2 (tonify), HT-8 (tonify) =fire points “mother”
LIV shi= LV-1 (reduce), SP-1 (reduce) =wood points
INSULTING: LV insulting LU:
LIV shi= LV-2 (reduce), HT-8 (reduce) =fire “son”
LU xu= LU-8 (tonify), LV-4 (tonify) =metal points
