Wind Cold Damp Early onset of “common cold” Tongue: pale-purple
Cold invades nose and obstructs the nasal passages Wei Qi attempts to dispel the pathogen leading to watery nasal discharge and sneezing Tongue: pale-purple Pulse : superficial/slow AP: LU6, LU7, LI4, LI20, GB20, Bi Tong
14
Allergic Rhinitis (Wind Heat)
Common in cats Pathogenic wind and heat invades nose Heat can damage vessels leading to bloody or yellow discharge Heat also dries up fluids making material thicker Tongue: red & dry Pulse: superficial/fast AP: LU5, LU6, LI4/11, LI20, GV14, Bi Tong
15
Phlegm Stagnation Combined wind-heat & wind-cold
Leads to accumulation of pus in nasal passages & sinuses Tongue: greasy/red or purple Pulse: deep or fast Tx: Huey’s formula AP: LU5, CV22, LI4/11, LI20, GV14, ST40, SP9, Bi Tong
