Chronic Rhinitis – Treatment by Freeing the Orifices
Chronic rhinitis is a frequently encountered disorder characterised by long-term nasal obstruction, purulent rhinorrhea, loss of the sense of smell, etc. Using the “freeing the orifices method” in accordance with pattern differentiation, distinct improvement can be observed by resolving toxins and freeing the orifices, transforming phlegm and freeing the orifices, supplementing qi and freeing the orifices, or transforming stasis and freeing the orifices. Treatment according to the above methods can dramatically improve the condition, freeing nasal obstruction, eliminating rhinorrhea, and restoring the sense of smell.
September/October
New TCM Publication, Industry News
This book examines the causes of pain according to TCM pathomechanism and pattern differentiation.
Dagmar Riley’s work casts light on the causes of pain as the basis for choosing the right treatment method (several patients may display the identical pain symptom brought about by different causes). This concept of “unlike treatment of like disease” is universal in TCM, but is given little consideration in the current Western biomedical model. Causes, pathomechanism and symptom diagnosis are broadly discussed, then given focus in ensuing chapters on specific conditions which include full prescriptions for both Chinese medicinal and acupuncture therapy.
