Clinical manifestations: Sudden, forceful muscle spasms, dizziness or lightheadedness, throbbing or distending headache, stiff neck, irritability and anger.
Tongue: Red body, stiff or trembling, possibly deviated, thin yellow or scanty coating. Pulse: Wiry, fine and may be rapid.
Treatment principle: Calm the Liver and extinguish Wind, subdue Liver-Yang, clear Heat and drain Fire.
Note: no moxa. This site's own Liver-Fire-generating-Wind slide is the closer match — it explicitly names tremor and spasms, which plain Liver-Yang rising does not — so it is linked here rather than the milder headache-only pattern.
2. Qi and Blood Deficiency
Clinical manifestations: Fatigue and weakness, pale complexion, intermittent mild spasms worse after exertion, dizziness or lightheadedness, heart palpitations, numbness or tingling in the limbs.
Tongue: Pale body, may be thin or have teeth marks, thin white coating. Pulse: Fine and weak, especially at right Guan.
Treatment principle: Tonify Qi, nourish Blood, strengthen the Spleen.
Note: moxa applicable throughout. No deck on this site combines Qi and Blood deficiency into one slide, so no pattern link is given here.
Clinical manifestations: Muscle twitching or trembling, numbness or tingling in the limbs, dizziness or lightheadedness, pale complexion.
Tongue: Pale, thin, may tremble when extended, thin white coating. Pulse: Fine and wiry, especially at left Guan.
Treatment principle: Nourish Blood and enrich Yin, calm Wind and stop twitching, moisten Dryness.
Note: no moxa given the underlying deficiency-generating-excess-symptom pattern. Direct match with this site's own Liver-Blood-deficiency-generating-Wind slide.
4. Empty-Wind Agitating in the Interior
Clinical manifestations: Muscle twitching or trembling, fatigue and weakness, night sweats, dry mouth and throat, low-grade fever that comes and goes.
Tongue: Deep red (crimson), thin, dry, cracked, little or no coating (mirror-like), may tremble. Pulse: Fine and rapid, wiry at left Guan but lacking force.
Treatment principle: Nourish Yin and extinguish Wind, subdue floating Yang, nourish Blood and generate Essence.
Note: no moxa given the Empty-Heat. No deck on this site has a Yin-deficiency-generating-Wind slide distinct from the Fire- and Blood-deficiency Wind patterns already covered, so no pattern link is given here.
Clinical manifestations: Muscle tightness and spasms, lower back and knee soreness, tinnitus, dry eyes with blurred vision, night sweats, dizziness or lightheadedness.
Tongue: Red, thin body with cracks, little or no coating, dry surface. Pulse: Fine, rapid and wiry, weak at the Kidney position.
Treatment principle: Nourish Liver and Kidney Yin, brighten the eyes, clear Liver Heat.
Note: no moxa. Direct match, reusing the well-established Kidney-and-Liver-Yin-deficiency slide.
6. Cold Invading the Channels, Joints and Muscles
Clinical manifestations: Severe joint pain at a fixed location, pain and spasms worsen with cold, affected area feels cold to the touch, stiffness and limited range of motion, skin not red or hot.
Tongue: Pale body with a thin white coat, moist surface. Pulse: Tight, often wiry, may be floating in acute cases.
Treatment principle: Disperse Wind-Cold, drain Dampness, transform Phlegm and unblock the collaterals.
Note: moxa strongly indicated given the Cold. No deck on this site has a generic Cold-invading-the-channels Bi-syndrome category outside the Liver channel's genital-specific version, a confirmed and recurring absence, so no pattern link is given here.
