P-6 Neiguan is one of the most important and most widely used acupuncture points. First of all, let us analyse the name “Nei Guan”. “Nei” means “inner” and there is no disagreement about this. However, the second half of the name “Guan” can have different interpretations. In ordinary, every-day language, “guan” means to “shut”, “close”, “turn off”, “lock up”. If we go to a shop and we find it closed, one would say that the shop “guan le”, i.e. it is shut or “it shut” (in the past). If we interpret “guan” in this sense, then P-6 is an “inner closure”, an “inner stop cock” or something similar. Could it be interpreted in this way? Yes, it could, and in this sense, P-6 would be the point that closes the Yin in the Interior and this should be seen in relation and analogous to T.B.-5 Waiguan, the “outer closure”, i.e. the point that closes the Yang on the outside. However, the nature of P-6 is such that it is a very dynamic point and this does not fit in with its translation as “inner ...

The thinking about geriatrics in Chinese medicine has been dominated by Kidney deficiency for centuries. As Kidney-Jing declines as we age, the clinical approach to the treatment of the elderly has been based largely on tonifying the Kidneys. However, modern diseases of the elderly that account for 90% of mortality (cancer, heart disease and stroke) are characterized by Fullness. Quite simply, we do not die of Kidney deficiency but of Phlegm, Blood stasis and Internal Wind. The most common pathogenic factors (and those leading to serious diseases) are: Phlegm Blood stasis Internal Wind Apart from the major diseases of the elderly such as cancer, stroke and heart disease, very many symptoms and signs that occur in old age are caused by Phlegm and/or Blood stasis. The following is a partial list. GERIATRIC SYMPTOMS/SIGNS •Otosclerosis: Phlegm/Blood stasis •Cataract: Phlegm •Macular degeneration (vascular, lack of blood nourishment): Blood stasis •Dry eyes: may be due to Blood stasis •Alz...

I would like to remind all European herbal practitioners of the looming dangers of the European Union (EU) “Directive” called “Directive on Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products” (THMPD) coming into force in April 2011. This “directive” (note the Soviet-style sound of this word) is the greatest threat to herbal medicine. The EU Directive (formulated and enforced by the unelected and unaccountable European Commission) sets new over-the-counter (OTC) standards adopted in April 2004 with requirement for full implementation by April 2011. In the UK this will replace S12(2) of 1968 Medicines Act for OTC products (see below). The Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products Directive (THMPD) comes fully into force in April 2011. After this time, only herbal medicines that have been registered under the scheme will be available EU-wide. For a wide range of herbal products, especially those from non-European traditions such as Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine, the requirements of the scheme ...

A recent issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association carried an interesting article on the use of antibiotics for acute otitis media (AOM) or middle-ear infection. The reference is: Tumaini R. Coker et al “Diagnosis, Microbial Epidemiology, and Antibiotic Treatment of Acute Otitis Media in Children” - A Systematic Review, in Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 304, No. 19, November 17, 2010, pp. 2161-2169. The objective of the study was to perform a systematic review on AOM diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics. The study selected studies with a criterion standard, observational studies, randomized controlled trials on AOM microbiology and randomized controlled trials assessing antibiotic treatment. The conclusion of the study was that antibiotics are modestly more effective than no treatment but cause adverse effects in 4% to 10% of children. Therefore, giving children antibiotics for ear infections does little to speed their recovery while raising the ri...
