Ht 8-Ht 4
Correct Answer
C. Kid 2-Kid 7Explanation
Ying Spring points clear deficiency heat. Jing River points move qi and fluids, and in some cases, are believed to nourish yin through this movement. A combination that works here is Kid 2-Kid 7. Kid 2 Rangu is for Yin deficiency heat, particularly as it affects the lower jiao in women, with dryness and inflammation. Kid 7 Fuliu moves qi and fluids, and indirectly nourishes yin. Its name means "Return Flow", which could be interpreted as returning flow to yin. The combo "makes sense".Rate this question:
