2All illnesses stem from a deficiency of essential ki of the zang organs. Localized
3symptoms appear when heat and cold arise due to a deficiency of ki, blood, and fluids
(pathological deficiency) caused by the combination of any of a number of possible factors in
combination with the underlying deficiency. The majority of localized symptoms that patients
convey as their chief complaint are the areas affected by cold and heat. That is to say, it is
common for the area of the chief complaint to lie along the meridian(s) that should be used
for the local treatment.
For instance, suppose that a patient presents with a complaint of stiff shoulders due to age
(i.e., fifty-year-old’s shoulder). This ailment is commonly caused by Liver deficiency.
Blockage of the meridians in the area of the shoulder joint gives rise to it being the specific
area of the chief complaint. So, first of all you should diagnose whether or not the problem is
due to Liver deficiency, and at the same time you must assess which meridian(s) have
blockage that may be causing the difficulty in raising the arm. In order to do that you should
palpate each of the channels and have the patient raise the arm. But, before having the patient
raise the arm, ask exactly where the pain is felt. This should be done with precision,
politeness, and gentleness. This information will help in determining the meridian(s) and
points to be used for the local treatment.
