Yu, 55 years old, suffered from constraint that harmed the Heart yang. The yang sunk into the yin leading to a  turbid painful urinary dribbling disorder. This was internal damage from the emotions leading to a  yin [area?] deficiency resulting in disease. Merely seeing the symptoms will bring about a disordered (incorrect) treatment and is most inferior.
The Heart stores the Spirit. The spirit was damaged with symptoms such as muddle-headedness; all the orifices were disturbed. The herb treatment…

Intro: This is a somewhat informal presentation of a recent case that I found quite educational for myself. It is definitely not the cleanest case (easy success) but that is why I like it. I am still working out the best way to present these cases and if anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I also welcome others to submit their cases for us to learn from. I hope you enjoy it and welcome…

Shen was 43 years old with a deficient and choppy pulse. The emotions had become unsmooth and the Liver and Spleen qi and blood were excessively constrained. This had persisted without relief for half a year. Giving a drastic formula was difficult [not appropriate]. Therefore giving the official prescription, Rambling Powder (xiäo yáo sân) with Tonify the Middle to Augment the Qi Decoction (bû zhöng yì qì täng) was decided upon.

I thought that this case might be a nice follow-up to the question that was asked about why Ye Tian-Shi chose this or that medicinal for the Liver.
Original Case by: Ye Tian-Shi
Ye was melancholic, which agitated the Liver, causing disease. After persisting for a long time [the disease process] began to involve the Spleen and Stomach. Hence, the center became damaged and he was unable to take in food and had an inability to taste flavors. There was…
