↑ reinforcing ↓ reducing ⊥ even method.
Clinical manifestations: Severe dizziness with a falling sensation, tremors, throbbing headache with a stiff neck, irritability, flushed face and red eyes.
Tongue: Red body, stiff or trembling, possibly deviated, thin yellow coating. Pulse: Wiry, fine, possibly rapid.
Treatment principle: Calm the Liver and extinguish Wind, subdue Liver-Yang, clear Heat.
Note: no moxa. Matched to this site's own Liver-Fire-generating-Wind slide — tremor plus irritability plus flushed face/red eyes plus Red tongue is its own diagnostic tip, the same rule already used for Muscle Spasm, Hand Tremor and Seizures.
2. Wind-Phlegm
Clinical manifestations: Sudden numbness or tingling in the hands/feet, slurred speech, severe dizziness or vertigo with a heavy headache, white frothy sputum, chest stuffiness, heaviness in the body/limbs.
Tongue: Slightly pale, swollen with teeth marks, white greasy coating. Pulse: Wiry and slippery.
Treatment principle: Transform Wind-Phlegm and stop spasms, strengthen the Spleen and resolve Dampness, calm the Liver.
Note: no moxa except on ST-36. This site has no standalone Wind-Phlegm slide anywhere in its decks (confirmed again here, after Seizures), so no pattern link is given; points still link fine individually.
Clinical manifestations: Thick yellow sticky phlegm, foul breath, constipation, chest fullness or nausea, irritability, transient dizziness or slurred speech triggered by heavy meals.
Tongue: Red, swollen body with thick yellow greasy coating. Pulse: Slippery and rapid.
Treatment principle: Clear Heat, transform Phlegm, purge the bowels to drain turbidity downward.
Note: no moxa. This site's Stomach deck explicitly names its Stomach-Heat slide \"Stomach-Heat (or Phlegm-Heat)\" with its own Phlegm-Heat variant adding chest/epigastric oppression and foul breath — a direct match.
4. Empty-Wind Agitating in the Interior
Clinical manifestations: Hand or foot trembling, deep fatigue, dry mouth and throat, dizziness, night sweats, heat in the palms and soles, sudden transient weakness.
Tongue: Crimson, thin, dry, cracked, mirror-like with little coating, may tremble. Pulse: Fine and rapid, wiry at the left guan, weak when pressed.
Treatment principle: Nourish Yin and subdue Yang, especially when Yin deficiency is prominent with severe dizziness.
Note: no moxa given the Yin deficiency. This severe deficiency-driven \"Empty-Wind\" picture (mirror tongue, no headache or dry eyes) does not cleanly match any of this site's three Liver-Yang-rising-generating-Wind subpatterns, which each require their own specific companion signs — a new confirmed-absent category rather than a forced fit. No pattern link is given here; points still link fine individually.
Clinical manifestations: Persistent fatigue, dull or dusky facial complexion, limb numbness/heaviness/transient weakness, shortness of breath, fixed stabbing pain worsening with pressure, dizziness.
Tongue: Pale-dark or pale-purple, possible stasis spots, teeth marks, thin white coat. Pulse: Deep, fine/weak, choppy.
Treatment principle: Tonify Qi, invigorate Blood and dispel stasis, unblock the channels and collaterals.
Note: moxa applicable on the tonifying points. Despite its deficiency framing, the source's own \"fixed stabbing pain\" and stasis-spot/dusky-complexion markers are genuine stasis signs, so this is linked to this site's Liver-Blood-stasis slide, extending the same discoloration-marker rule used for Cold Hands and Tonsillitis.
