Hi! Random questions I’ve been jotting down:
1) Why does stomach qi deficiency create a rootless tongue coat?
2) Do Tai Yang patterns (accumulation of water & heat in the bladder and heat/stasis in lower jiao and bladder) *begin* with classic Tai Yang symptoms or do they jump straight to these?
3) Why does stomach yin deficiency have thirst with no desire to drink? Why no desire?
4) Are host & guest combos only used for excess conditions?
5) Are front mu points best for excess?
6) What is amplitude referring to in needling methods?
7) What’s the difference between the heart *governing* vessels and the lung *controlling* vessels?
8) When it comes to sweating disorders, which organ (heart or lung) has more of an impact?
9) Why is there no sweating in an excess EPF?
10) What does urine retention look like in clinic? What do patients say?
