Piecing together symptoms
Aligning symptoms like forehead pain and dampness with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) concepts, I’m mapping out pathogenesis using the six channels approach, then considering both Shang Han Lun and Jin Gui Yao Lue for a suitable formula.
Mapping out TCM patterns
I'm analyzing symptoms like tinnitus, gum recession, and abdominal fullness to map traditional Chinese medicine patterns. This helps identify potential causes like kidney deficiency or spleen deficiency with dampness.
Mapping out patterns
I’m examining the six channels approach to see if the pattern involves Taiyin, Yangming, Shaoyin, Shaoyang, or a mix, considering symptoms like frontal headache, dampness, and kidney deficiency.
Identifying key patterns
Mapping the symptoms, it’s clear that patterns like Shaoyang with ear ringing, bitter taste, and Taiyin with spleen deficiency and dampness are central. Choosing a formula from traditional texts is necessary.
Piecing together options
I’m selecting from various traditional formulas like Long Dan Xie Gan Tang for damp-heat or Xiao Chai Hu Tang for Shaoyang patterns to match the intricate symptoms described.
Piecing together patterns
Noticing a blend of deficiency in kidney and spleen with damp-heat signs like bitter mouth and yellow tongue. Circulation issues also seem to play a role.
Evaluating treatment options
I'm figuring out the best Shang Han Lun or Jin Gui Yao Lue formula for kidney deficiency with damp and symptoms like morning bitterness and Shaoyang patterns.
Matching formulas
I'm pulling together traditional formulas to match symptoms like dampness and Shaoyang signs, considering options like Xiao Chai Hu Tang with Er Chen Tang from modern TCM practices.
Spotting crucial patterns
OK, let me see. It’s worth noting the symptoms associated with Zhen Wu Tang, like watery stool and fear of cold, which aligns well with kidney deficiency.
Identifying the root
I'm beginning to see the challenge of balancing heat signs with kidney and spleen deficiency. Shi Pi Yin and Fu Ling Si Ni Tang offer promising solutions.
Piecing it together
OK, let’s think it through: Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan, with its eight-ingredient mix for kidney yang deficiency, might need tweaks to tackle damp-heat clues like bitter mouth and yellow tongue.
Piecing together
It's tricky to balance patterns like ShaoYang, ShaoYin, and Taiyin. Xiao Chai Hu Tang with Si Ni Tang seems promising, though the symptoms are quite intricate.
Blending strategies
Piecing together Chai Hu Gui Zhi Gan Jiang Tang, I’m aiming to balance ShaoYang with spleen and kidney deficiency, tackling dampness and spleen cold.
Piecing together the cure
OK, I’m building on Chai Hu Fu Zi Tang to tackle chronic ShaoYang syndrome. This mix should deal with dampness and nausea, tailored for kidney deficiency.
Weighing options
I'm looking at "Chai Hu Fu Zi Gan Jiang Tang" and "Chai Hu Fu Zi Tang" to combat Shaoyang and Shaoyin deficiency effectively.
Pinpointing the diagnosis
Mapping out the "ShaoYang + Taiyin + Shaoyin" pattern from the Jin Gui, considering formulas like "Chai Hu Gui Zhi Gan Jiang Tang" or "Chai Hu Fu ZI Tang" for therapeutic guidance.
Weighing options
Considering "Chai Hu Fu Zi Tang" for Shaoyang with severe fatigue. Also looking at "Shen Qi Wan" from Jin Gui for Kidney Yang deficiency with Spleen deficiency, managing water retention and body heaviness.
Pinpointing the essence
I'm focusing on "Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan" for Kidney Yang deficiency, while also considering Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang or Shen Ling Bai Zhu San to manage damp-heat, blood stasis, and spleen deficiency.
Crafting the mix
Trying "Fu Zi, Rou Gui, Bai Zhu, Fu Ling, Dang Shen, Ban Xia, Chen Pi" to tackle the ShaoYang, Taiyin, Shaoyin deficiency. Wondering if "Chai Hu Gui Zhi Gan Jiang Tang" is up to snuff.
Piecing together
I’m examining "Chai Hu Fu Zi Tang" as a variant of "Xiao Chai Hu Tang," removing Ban Xia and adding Fu Zi to address Shaoyang and Shaoyin symptoms, especially vomiting or nausea.
Addressing symptoms
I'm working through "Chai Hu Fu Zi Gan Jiang Tang," incorporating Ban Xia for managing retching, while warming the kidney and harmonizing Shaoyang to tackle symptoms like impotence and bitterness.
Mulling over options
Thinking about "Chai Hu Gui Zhi Gan Jiang Tang" with added Fu Zi for epigastric dryness and dizziness, or "Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan" for Kidney Yang deficiency without specific Shaoyang dryness treatment.
Piecing together
I’m evaluating "Jin Gui Yao Lue" for Kidney Qi and Yang deficiency, focusing on "Fu Zi, Gui Zhi, Sheng Di" to address impotence, lower back weakness, and urinary issues.
Integrating herbal strategy
I'm piecing together "Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan" for Kidney Yang deficiency and dampness. Adding herbs like "Si Miao Yong An Tang" or "Long Dan Xie Gan Tang" to manage liver-gallbladder damp-heat.
Crafting a balanced formula
I'm blending "Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan" with herbs like Fu Zi and Bai Zhu to tonify the spleen, Chai Hu and Huang Qin for Shaoyang, and others to address blood stasis.
Optimizing a formula
I'm refining with Fu Zi, Rou Gui to warm kidneys, Huang Qin and Chai Hu for Shaoyang, Bai Zhu and Fu Ling to nourish the spleen, and Ze Xie to clear dampness.
