| Difficulty inhaling | LU4 |

| Release Oketsu (eye problems) | Pts on back of head (behind eyes) + TW3 + lateral canthus Also UB2 + Yuyao |
| To confirm constipation as creating Oketsu reflex | Massage HT7, release inner thigh w/ distal points &/or inner thigh massage. |
| Release Oketsu (rectal vein congestion) | Medial aspect of knee + ST27 or SP15 + HT7 should reduce PP and move bowels (Master Ito's Chong Mai Tx) |
| Signs of "Cross Syndrome" | PP @ R hypochondrium and L Oketsu |
| Release Spleen Reflex | SP9 |
| Release SP Reflex (allergies) | KD/SP channels (i.e. SP5/SP9, KD6/KD27) to reduce reflex, then needle around the navel itself. |
| What qualities is the Kidney Reflex palpated to check? | Elasticity, temperature & weakness (not necessarily PP) |
| Common causes of Adrenal Reflex | Shock, trauma, birth trauma, abuse, near death experience (inc. surgery) |
| Release Kidney Reflex | KD6 LU5 KD27 |
| Release Ovarian/Fallopian Reflex | KD7 KD10 |
| Release Ovarian/Fallopian Reflex (with chronic sinus infection) | KD7 KD10 ST44 ST45 |
| Release Water Stagnation Reflex | SP3 SP7 SP11 GB25 UB23 |
| Release Uterus Reflex (no PP @ KD2) | LV5 |
| Release Uterus Reflex (PP @ KD2) | LV4 LV8 |
| Release Heart Reflex | SP4 PC6 w/ ion pumping cords (SP4 Black) Manaka Chong Mai Tx |
| Release Heart Reflex (sleeping problems) | SP3 PC4 UB17 |
| Release Heart Reflex (eye problems) | UB2 Yuyao |
| Palpate Heart Reflex to Dx ST problems | 90 deg downward under xiphoid |
| Palpate Heart Reflex to Dx HT or diaphragm problems | 45 deg upward under xiphoid |
| Release ASIS (Pelvic Imbalance) | KD9 TW9 |
| Release ASIS (Visceroptosis) | ST13 |
| Release ASIS (weakened immunity) | Nagano immune points (esp. w/ history of streptococci) |
| Release ASIS (Dai Mai) | KD7 GB26 |
| What can cause "busy hara"? | Repeated strep, chronic sinus infections, deviated septum |
| Clarify "busy hara" | Immune tx's &/or ANS balancing tx will eliminate most of the PP in abdomen to reveal the “clear” pattern of disharmony. |
| Alternative Hara Dx: Corners of mouth | LV14 (LV Mu) |
| Alternative Hara Dx: Ears & mastoid | LV13 (SP Mu) |
| Alternative Hara Dx: Nose & sinuses | Umbilicus |
| Alternative Hara Dx: Eyes | ST25 |
| Alternative Hara Dx: Forehead & brain | Dantien region |
| Alternative Hara Dx: Tx corners of mouth | SP3/LV3 to reduce pain at corners of mouth. If PP not reduced significantly, ashi near LV14 needled; angle based upon what relieves PP at this location. |
| Alternative Hara Dx: Tx ears & mastoid | 1st find/needle points to tx ear problems; then, if residual PP or symptom for the ears remains, needle LV13 directly to reduce PP at mastoid. |
| Alternative Hara Dx: Tx nose & sinuses | After specific allergy tx's, needles inserted around rim of navel at 45 deg toward center. |
| Alternative Hara Dx: Tx eyes | 1st the constitutional tx's/tx for specific complaint; then, if eye symptoms remain, needle directly. Add Kyutoshin for cold abdomen. |
| ST-Qi Tx for patients with hard to read pulse, muscle atrophy, etc: | 1. Create imaginary line b/n ST36-40, divide into 3 areas 2. Insert a needle for each area 3. 8 DM/needle site |
| Insignificant release of Oketsu: 3 possibilities | 1. Inner thigh vascular compression 2. Internal disease (e.g. visceroptosis) 3. Systemic detox |
| Oketsu Release: inner thigh vascular compression | 1. Palpate inner thigh for pain/tension/texture 2. Needle superficial, 2mm 5 min. w/flow 3. If still PP, repeat 4. If PP reduced, repeat basic Oketsu |
| Oketsu Release: internal disease | 1. Palpate ST30, shallow needle under skin ABOVE gummies/hardness at angle that reduces 2. Extreme ST30 PP: viscero tx... ST13 toward LI15 to reduce, then needle ST30 directly to reduce Oketsu |
| Oketsu Release: Systemic Detox | 1. Palpate ST9 Thyroid Reflex 2. Needle 15 to reduce the PP, plus 8-15 DM 3. KD9, plus 8 DM |
| Oketsu Kai: How to tx | Needle directly, but not if pulse is slow (Instead UB26/SI Shu) Can also reduce PP in face/sinus/occiput |
| Additional function of ST9 reflex? | Shows blood O2 levels (Lack of O2 leads to toxin build-up) |
| Back tx for Oketsu | 1. Palpate UB17/18, needle if active 2. If R UB17/18 is much higher or more painful, add L UB35 |
| Hara patterns with good ST-Qi response: | 1. Oketsu/Immune 2. Heart Reflex 3. CV12 PP 4. Inguinal Ligament PP |
| Most important point for tonsillar tissue and immune of entire body | Nagano immune points |
| Locating Nagano Immune Points | 1. Feel for gummies in region while palpating neck reflexes 2. Find point, massage 10 sec, test neck reflex to see if lymphatics drained 3. Needle at angle that clears reflex, plus 8-15 DM 4. Re-check neck reflex 5. If insufficient, repeat |
| Qualities of a successful Nagano Immune Tx: | TW16 + Oketsu area + low back + iliac areas will be less painful upon re-exam (IF immune-mediated) |
| Supporting point for Immune tx: | KD6; cross checking not necessary for supporting points Both for adrenal and immune reflex Add 7 DM, esp. if appears puffy or cold Find angle to reduce PP @ adrenal |
