sp 2 vs st 41

sp 2 vs st 41

In One Needle Tech by dr Kim KH, tonifying st 41 is good for ingestion when there is pain in ren 12 area upon palpation. I was using st 41 for a while and found that it does work. however, in some cases, it does not last. well, as we already know as an acupuncturist, differentiation is the key. many times I (i dont know about other practitioners) forget that. sometimes LI 1 ST 45 - works a lot better than st 41. obviously when the problem is due to st excess. tonifying or reducing spleen also works better then st 41 when spleen has imbalance.

let's jump on to spleen meridian. if tonifying st 41 works for ren 12 area pain, shouldnt sp 2 work too?

60 yr old lady with frozen shoulder came and complained of chronic indigestion problems. s.s: lack of appetite weak sensation in limbs, indigestion, inability to eat normal portion but very small portion, otherwise she gets upset stomach. thin body type, cold hands and feet.... etc.

tx: sp 2 + ht 8 + after sp2 + pain in ren 12 area is gone.

BE Awake (I am telling myself nowadays) again differentiation is the key.)
