Which of the following Ying Spring-Jing River combinations on a single channel are most viable?

GB 43-GB 38
Pc 8-Pc 5
Kid 2-Kid 7
LI 2-LI 5
Ht 8-Ht 4

Correct Answer

A. Kid 2-Kid 7

Explanation

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".

Shu Stream-He Sea
Shu Stream-Xi Cleft
Shu Stream-Jing River
Shu Stream-Yuan Source

Correct Answer

A. Shu Stream-Xi Cleft

We would treat points on a single affected channel in the following conditions: (Check all that apply)

Where onset of disease is relatively recent and condition has not yet begun to affect other channels.
A condition is widespread in a robust patient.
The other organs and channels are generally healthy.
The disorder is primarily located in muscles or tendons, such as acute injuries and pain.
There is severe deficiency of a single organ/channel.

Correct Answer(s)

A. Where onset of disease is relatively recent and condition has not yet begun to affect other channels.

Ying Springs and Yuan Sources probably make the least sense, at least from a strict theoretical perspective. Ying Springs are for Yin Deficiency Heat, while Yuan Source points are best for Yang Deficiency Cold. It is highly unlikely that you will see both of these ON ONE CHANNEL.
