1. Kidney Qi Deficiency
Clinical manifestations: Deep, aching soreness in lower back and knees; extreme fatigue and lack of stamina; frequent urination especially at night with clear urine; shortness of breath with mild exertion; dizziness or heaviness in legs.
Tongue: Pale, slightly puffy body with possible tooth marks and thin white coating. Pulse: Deep, weak, and fine, weakest at the rear positions.
Treatment principle: Tonify Kidney Qi to provide the vital energy needed for fetal rotation.
Note: moxa applicable and preferred throughout. This site's
Kidney-Qi not Firm slide is framed around incontinence and prolapse, not this presentation's clear-urine fatigue picture — always read the actual deck content rather than the name, so no pattern link is given here.
2. Spleen Deficiency with Dampness
Clinical manifestations: Heaviness in abdomen and limbs; loose stools or diarrhea; abdominal bloating worse after eating; poor appetite and fatigue; swelling in legs; large-for-dates fundal height.
Tongue: Pale, swollen body with teeth marks, white greasy coating, moist surface. Pulse: Soggy and slow, possibly slippery.
Treatment principle: Strengthen the Spleen's transformative function to resolve dampness and restore lifting Qi.
Note: moxa applicable. No deck on this site combines Spleen deficiency with Dampness in one slide, so no pattern link is given here — the same absence found for Gastroparesis.
Clinical manifestations: Distension or bloating along ribs and flanks; irritability, mood swings, or short temper; frequent sighing; breast tenderness or swelling; lower abdominal tension worse with stress.
Tongue: Normal or slightly dark body with red or slightly purple sides, thin white coat. Pulse: Wiry, especially tense at left Guan.
Treatment principle: Smooth Liver Qi flow to relax the uterine environment.
Note: no moxa except on BL-67. Direct match on the core distension/irritability/sighing picture.
Clinical manifestations: Fixed, stabbing or heavy sensation in lower abdomen; emotional tension, irritability, or feeling stuck; baby's movements feel restricted or cause discomfort.
Tongue: Dark purple body with stasis spots and distended sublingual veins, thin white coat. Pulse: Wiry and choppy.
Treatment principle: Invigorate Qi and Blood circulation to dissolve the physical barrier of stagnation.
Note: no moxa except on BL-67. Matches
Liver-Blood stasis — a dark purple tongue with stasis spots is the same discoloration marker named there.
5. Blood Deficiency and Stagnation
Clinical manifestations: Fixed dull ache in lower abdomen; history of scanty, dark-clotted periods; dizziness and heart palpitations; fatigue and low energy.
Tongue: Pale body with purple or dusky cast, thin, possible stasis spots, sublingual veins distended. Pulse: Fine and choppy, often wiry on left Guan.
Treatment principle: Nourish blood while invigorating circulation.
Note: moxa applicable. No deck on this site combines Blood deficiency with stagnation in one slide, so no pattern link is given here.
