acupuncture and two patent remedies.
Acupuncture The acupuncture points used (with reinforcing method) were selected
from the following:
LU-7 Lieque and KI-6 Zhaohai to open the Directing Vessel, tonify the
Kidneys and, at the same time, move Qi in the lower abdomen.
Du-20 Baihui was used to raise Qi.
KI-3 Taixi, with moxa on the needle, to tonify and warm Kidney-Yang.
BL-23 Shenshu to tonify Kidney-Yang.
Ren-4 Guanyuan, with direct moxa cones, to warm the Uterus (or rather
the area where the uterus should have been) and tonify Kidney-Yang.
This point combines well with Du-20 to raise Qi and tonify the Kidneys.
Herbal treatment The patent remedies used were Bu Zhong Yi Qi Wan Tonifying the
Centre and Benefiting Qi Pill to tonify and raise Spleen-Qi and Jin Suo
Gu Jing Wan Golden Lock Consolidating the Essence Pill to tonify the
Kidneys and stop frequency.
With these two remedies, it took only two treatments to clear this
patient's condition completely. In fact, even after only one treatment her
urine was darker and there was no frequency or pain.
