decreased in intensity and she was able to react more calmly to her
daughter's plight and not to allow her anger to dominate her life.Qi Stagnation
This has already been discussed under "Mind obstructed" above (p. 233). The manifestations of
Qi stagnation when it causes the Mind to be unsettled are similar. The main difference is that,
instead of mental confusion, the predominant manifestations will be anxiety and mental
restlessness.
Treatment Principle
Move Qi, eliminate stagnation and calm the Mind.
The same prescriptions and acupuncture points indicated for stagnation of Qi under "Mind
obstructed" are applicable.
Blood Stasis
Again, the manifestations of this condition are similar to those discussed under "Mind
obstructed" from Blood stasis (p. 237). The main difference is that, when stasis of Blood causes
the Mind to become unsettled, there will be severe anxiety and mental restlessness.
Treatment Principle
Move Blood, eliminate stasis and calm the Mind.
The same prescriptions and acupuncture points indicated under "Mind obstructed" from Blood
stasis are applicable.
