The Superior Doctor (according to old Chinese texts)
Can you say what the herbs are in English and where we could get them? My husbands on blood thinners right now and he's having a really hard time staying warm. I've heard several people comment on it this year. I myself have had difficulties staying warm and I'm always in fuzzy pj's ha-ha. Thanks for showing this process. I used to do stuff like this just to make some herbs taste better. Except I used Lactose sugar pills, and they absorbed some of the liquid medicines.
My videos are really for practitioners and students of Chinese medicine. You should consult a practitioner and not get medical advice off the internet. Herbs can have side effects, especially some o f the ones in this formula. Besides that, some of these herbs don't really have English names. They come from China and are not common in the west. Sorry.
Thanks a lot for sharing these interesting cases and quotes, which is useful to understand some modern patients
Are there sea sickness physicians stories you know? I've always assumed those large ships with dignitaries onboard must've had classical physicians to treat such a thing. ❤
I searched jicheng (a huge collection of ancient CM texts) for 暈船 (apparently how you say 'sea sickness') and only got four hits. I'll look at them after I have more coffee and get back to you.
Two of the four hits have ingredients that are impossible to get, or unknown, or cannot be used today. So I am not posting those. One is a case. That will take me a bit longer to translate. One has two formulas. I will post it in the next comment.
加味生薑理中湯 Jiāwèi Shēngjiāng Lǐzhōng Tāng 治胃氣虛寒,時作惡心。亦治暈船。 Treats deficiency cold stomach qì with occasional nausea. Also treats sea sickness. 人參、白朮、乾薑、半夏(薑製),陳皮各等分 equal portions of rénshēn, báizhú, gānjiāng bànxià (ginger processed), and chénpí 水煎服。 Boil in water and take it. *** 大半夏湯 Dà Bànxià Tāng 治噁心,亦治暈船。 Treats nausea. Also treats sea sickness. 陳皮、半夏(薑製)、茯苓 chénpí, bànxià (ginger processed), fúlíng 水煎服。 Boil in water and take it. *** from 萬表《萬氏家抄濟世良方》 Wàn Shì Jiā Chāo Jìshì Liángfāng by Wàn Biǎo (1520, Míng)
So Sick
My Favorite!
I was thinking of you! Two more to follow on his use of ice.
Thank you for this analysis, Lorraine. These are interesting case studies you have found here. For the first case, I would agree with you in that it sounds like it is similar to what we’d see as panic attacks in the modern day. This girl appears to be having nightmares that disturb her, most likely waking up in the middle of the night afraid, and probably also gets panic attacks during the day from her fear of being “kidnapped / apprehended.” In terms of the analysis, if you also add in a five element aspect to it, it will make even more sense. Since gallbladder is of the wood element and it generates, is the mother of, fire, vacuity of the gallbladder will lead to cold and also lead to vacuity of it’s son element, fire. Thus, you’d get these insomnia symptoms; it also explains why other doctors mistakenly thought it was a heart (fire) disease. I’ve noticed, on a number of occasions, that earlier texts don’t always bring up the five element aspects even though they are using them. I feel this is due to their belief that the readers will use five element analysis without a need to bring it up. I also wonder if that doctor had modified the formula dosage at all, or was using a different wen dan tang version, since he was treating vacuity / deficiency more than repletion / excess.
Thank you for all your thoughts!
The idea of making the body an inhospitable place for an evil spirit is right in line with ghosts Point protocols in acupuncture. Direct moxa on your zhi yin Point. Needling ren zhong or moxa on Wei yin point could be making the body uncomfortable uncomfortable
Thankyou for these wonderful stories.
White propaganda machine
You talk too much shit
Thank you so much for these cases!! It's so facenating to see such a simple and endgame formula be used in so many ways!
Great content again. With surge from the abdomen to heart, the confusion and feeling he is going to die, the last one sounds more like panic attack or Running Piglet than hot flashes to me. A syndrome I would love to hear you cover.
Thanks! Running piglet? I can look for cases when I have time, but that won't be for a while. I am in the middle of two projects.
me again … just ordered Xue Jie, Mo Yao, and Ru Xiang to make a large batch of this liniment for my cohort at acupuncture school. Do you put all the resinous herbs in bags? curious b/c you put the mo yao in a bag but not the xue jie. thx! ps- would love a follow up vid showing how to filter off a bit while letting the “mother” continue aging
If I remember correctly, the only thing in a bag was tanxiang. That was because I had it powdered (ground up, not granules) and didn't have it whole. The resins just go in with everything else.
For filtering some off, first stir it or shake it. If the bottle is small enough, just pour some off through cheesecloth. If the bottle is too big, use a ladle or a syringe. That's all.
can you use these while they are moist, or should they always be dried first?
These are used moist. There should be another video somewhere about dried 'moxa cookies '
@ yes, i’m making those moxa cookies as well. i don’t have a dehydrator and am following my herb teacher’s advice to dry them in a low oven at 325F. thoughts? also, how do you process ai ye (and other dried leaf/stem herbs) into powder? sorry if i missed this in another video. how do you grind herbs
@ thanks! i’m also soaking slices of FuZi as a base for moxa. my understanding is that you press the slices flat and poke holes. would you use those “wet” or could i let them dry again? i’m picturing dried FuZi slices (not powdered) with holes … ready as a base for larger moxa cones
You can do that. The point is that they are thoroughly dry so they won't get moldy and will last a long time. You could use a lower oven temp if you like. Just get them dry don't let them burn.
Sorry, this was about using the oven. I'll answer the fuzi question next.
Spectacular. Thank you
Great content as always- used this to make Qing Dai Gao and about to make some Jin Huang Gao now. Thanks Lorraine.
It makes me happy when I know people use the information. Thanks for letting me know!
the aliexpress links are not working, what was the aliexpress description for the wood pill maker?
@@adventureisoutthere8064 sorry, I don't remember. I bought it a few years ago. They can be hard to find. Sorry.
Here is one. I never bought from this place. You might find other venders with a reverse image search. www.lazada.com.my/products/traditional-chinese-medicine-meatball-maker-honeyed-bolus-handmade-pill-maker-pill-rolling-plate-tool-mold-pill-rolling-device-pill-rubbing-ball-cleaner-i3848361164.html
I recently made diy incense and used an extruder. The incense came out the extruder ok but when I grab it to put on the screen it would break Everytime. Do you know what I am doing wrong?
@@bigdjers maybe too dry, maybe whatever you used as a binder didn't bind it enough.
This is wonderful! I started growing my own artemisia argyi and now looking forward to making my own moxa punk and sticks. Thank you!
Thank you so much Lorraine. This is so interesting.
I think it's so interesting how acupuncture has taken on such a ghostly conotation here in the west! I remember your other video talking about ghost points and talking about patients "AS IF they were seeing ghosts." Btw, I want a shirt that says "GHOSTS? MY ASS!"
@@just_steve6122 I love that line!
力如张绳 roughly translates to "Forced like a taut or stretched rope". I am assuming like it was tightly wound or hard like a stretched or pulled rope?
Oh, you are absolutely right. I should have gotten that. Thanks!!!
Hi Lorraine, thanks for this great video! I am going to make some honey pills soon. Wondering what the indication is for making large pills you chew like you made vs smaller ones you just swallow? Thanks in advance :)
Thanks! I have 3 answers why things are made into a specific form. 1. Make medicines in the form they were originally written. 2. Make them in a form that you or your patient want to take it in. 3. This video will discuss the answer in terms of qi. ruclips.net/video/-XXP8IwI7as/видео.html

I got mine on Aliexpress, but they are hard to find sometimes.
this is brillant
Thank you!
love that thanks
瓊玉膏
thanks for this video - very informative! i’ve seen other recipes that include Ban Xia. what are your thoughts on adding some?
@@independent4570 I haven't seen banxia in liniment recipes. Liniments are for external application and phlegm is not usually close to the exterior except for phlegm nodes. But that's just my opinion and I am sure there must be other points of view about it.
@@LorraineWilcox That’s what i thought, too. Thanks! There are several other youtubers with “how to” videos and they used it. I want to keep close to the classical recipes. Love your videos!
Thank you, I love this video :)
Superb, THANKS! But ... "The Shangxing point was punctured with a flat thorn at an acupuncture depth of 0.5-0.8 in using the extraction method." come again?
Did I say that? I don't think so. What are you quoting from.
@@LorraineWilcox The attached study: 'Methods' section
Just bad translation
Fantastic. Thank you so much for your scholarship
Great video again. Thanks. I look forward to these ones on ghosts and spirits. Under my notes for St 17, I have it that Ge Hong also recommended treating St 17 with 3 cones of moxa along with 7 on the clump of hair at the base of the big toe (so between Sp 1 and Liv 1) for Dian Kuang with falling fits and manic frenzy (Strickmann, 2002, Chinese Magical Medicine, p.240). Also, on the order of Sun Si-Miao's Ghost Points: if you divide them up into groups of 3, with under the tongue left over, then there is one hand channel point, one foot channel point and one extraordinary vessel point in each group, except the last which flips to having both extraordinary vessels and one channel point. It is as if they are working deeper with each group. This is a modern interpretation by Yuen, unless he got it from another source, but it makes some sense of the sequence.
Thanks for all that!!!
Slightly disappointing...perhaps consider reading it as written without westernizing it? Even a bot read? I am interested in the book but I couldn't listen to your reading for long sorry. Wish you well.
Sorry, how was it Westernized? Sorry you didn't like it, but without more details, your criticism gives me no clues of how to improve. BTW, I have no book on this, but others do.
@@LorraineWilcox again sorry, I thought, well I kind of skirted around it, but, well, giving your own take in a modern way, assuming most people interested in this subject wouldn't understand. Which probably many are, but, well it was hard to listen to. I tried reading with volume off but that's not exactly what I was looking for. Again, best wishes and if I may, sorry for this particular comment.
No worries, you are welcome to your opinion. I am sorry it wasn't what you were looking for. You are saying, I guess, that you thought I explained too much. Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you Dr. Wilcox. I look forward to trying this!
Making ding zhi wan per Z'ev's recent JCM article.
❤what are you think of the origin of ten heavens? 12 zodiacs too
I don't know. Ancient people could intuit things that are lost to us?
Thank you so much for demonstrating this! My program director asked me to teach the techniques in CAM and this is one of them, but the translation was so awful, I couldn't make heads or tails of what I was supposed to do! This has clarified it perfectly!
This method is so much better than holding a stick over a point, but it takes a little practice. I hope you like it!
If you could do a video showing the needle manipulation techniques from CAM, that would save my actual human life! No pressure though.
@@silkroadhealth9354 Sorry, not within my capabilities
Thanks so much for sharing this!
how long is this going to last for? Or is it more something you'd make as needed? Thanks for the video - very informative!
They are dry, so if stored in a cool dry place, in an airtight container, they will last indefinitely. It is a pain to make, so I would probably make more pills less frequently, rather than making a little each time.
Thank you Lorraine for those case studies are any of those books that the case studies are from, specifically about phlegm diseases? Or were you just picking phlegm diseases for today's podcast? I obtain good success treating phlegm in many diseases in my clinic I would like to know about how the classic doctors did it. I suppose I could start by looking up those books that you cited today in searching for more cases involving phlegm?
Many case studies collections have sections on phlegm, but phlegm issues may also be found under other headings, such as cough, vomiting, mania-withdrawal, epilepsy, etc. I am pretty sure there are phlegm-related cases in my previous videos too.
this...actually give me an idea on how to make precise weighted pills. get the rolling board but use a rolling pin instead to make precise sheet of medicl paste, then use a round thing to cooky cutter the pills out until I find the 5mg sweet spot. rinse and repeat until the dough is all gone. magnificent. thanks for the inspiration! here I thought id have to spend $1000 for making precise measurements of medicine.
Let us know how it goes!
nice work!!!!!
Loving this series!!!
interesting point about cupping and gua sha at the end. Thank you for these lectures!
very good.
Thank You from France. Always a pleasure to listen to your precious work.
Thank you very much! The lecture is very interesting and makes you think about the topic more deeply.
Ingredients? please? What is mould price
It wasn't expensive, but I bought it three years ago on ebay, so my price then might not be the price you find. I have other videos on making incense that will have the ingredients listed. There is a link to one in the video description.
Here is one seller of incense cone molds. The price is higher than I remember, $34US www.ebay.com/itm/145343386437?_nkw=incense+cone+mold&itmmeta=01J74D1FM6Q0C1MN51QDFXBBFE&hash=item21d7241345:g:NZYAAOSwPilchyeO&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKmmjN3q88%2FMAbt8nbXDuOjlMLxLLEjUAFCTe7ou62yJXbnb6ckANisOA8vuj%2BUzX7D4qL7Fj796zzOmLb3Y7MNC7K9YTDmF1dqdk8fFHkfnpkzb6P29DX0v1DOA1B7FpN22h5YZ%2Brnvng4BbczrsZU%2B%2BAI1ic4q6FW545VFlf%2FT9iO4EGb3P9C%2FjzGYjDlGWXlZvQaQk%2F1kadcx0YXODcdWC5Xs99imxDxzDx2C1JGEWzvh3d%2F8sV6aK65Eof1D2Qk6sx1zJdvVF2uxWxY7BPtvGWhnGOtdq4b6jwR3cNxKkw%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMlvqFjblk&edge=1
Stiffness and pain from the lumbar spine LU5 might be due to the imaging concept - the middle of the arm relates to the lower back. Seems like they knew ST6 was great for TMJ.
