THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE ACCORDING TO THE GEOMETRICAL METHOD

Diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine is based mainly on questioning, inspection of the tongue, complexion, nails, and pulse taking. From these elements, the interpretation of which is not entirely free from subjectivity, the therapist chooses to puncture certain points with needles, heat them, massage them, or even use cupping. However, the energy system is so complex that there may be a gap between the therapist's intellectual approach and the patient's actual energy state.

Our approach to Chinese medicine is entirely MANUAL, without needles, moxa, or pharmacopoeia. It is based on SPECIFIC PALPATION of points, meridians, and tissues of the human body in resonance with the energy system.

The ancient Chinese have described the energy system, but not how it materializes in the anatomy (bones, muscles, skin, viscera). Palpation of points, channels and tissues is an element of diagnosis as important as the examination of pulses and tongue or the questioning of the patient. It is too often neglected. Japanese acupuncture has particularly developed diagnosis by palpation – there is a tradition of blind acupuncturists and shiatsu practitioners in Japan. Energy should not be a vague concept that is difficult to grasp, BUT A REALITY THAT CAN BE TOUCHED WITH FINGERS.

The reading grid of tissues is a set of manual controls, each related to a specific therapeutic level. To “read” tissues, the therapist needs to know HOW TO PALPATE (active interrogation of tissues) and WHERE TO PALPATE (disturbances in the energy system are inscribed in a SPECIFIC way in the tissues – skin, muscles, bones, organs). Many examples have been given in previous publications.

Through the reading grid the therapist can determine where the body is in need at a given moment (at the point of the examination), which is the disturbed energetic function(s) (Liver, Kidney, Spleen…) and at which level (the Five Shu points, Luo points, Back-Shu/ Front-Mu points, Extraordinary Channels, emotional chain of Stomach, of the Gall bladder, chain of the Spleen, outer pathway of the Bladder channel, teeth, physical traumatisms...). That is most often the aim of acupuncture treatment. It is the body that shows where it is in need at a given moment and not the therapist who decides what it is good for the patient. The therapist doesn't have to worry about the choice of points; he/she doesn't decide anything, he/she just does what the tissues tell him/her.

Correction consists in giving the body the precise information that will enable it to correct itself, and for this, tissue palpation is essential. There is no tonification or sedation technique on points.

It's important to stress that in our approach, different practitioners on a given patient find the same disturbances and therefore make the same corrections (notion of reproducibility which is an essential criterion in science).

Our aim is not to replace traditional means of diagnosis (pulse taking, tongue examination, questioning...) or treatment, but provide therapists a new tool that will enable them to confirm, clarify or invalidate the therapeutic choice they have made using conventional tools. This approach can be used as a treatment method in its own right, or as an additional tool for therapists using more traditional techniques.

THE GREAT LUO OF STOMACH (part 2)

Reminder: the way in which disturbances in the energy system, as described by the Chinese, manifest in the tissues (skin, muscles, bones, organs) specifically forms the basis of our approach to TCM. This enables the therapist to transmit the necessary information to the body so that it can correct itself.

We have seen that on the inner pathway of Urinary Bladder channel, the 8th thoracic vertebra, where there is no point, is related to Xu Li. The same applies to the outer pathway of the Urinary Bladder channel, at the level of the 8th rib. We remind you that the inner pathway of the UB channel is more related to the physiological aspect of energy functions, the physical level, whereas the outer pathway of the UB channel is more related to the psychological aspect, the emotional and mental levels. The energy blockage of the 8th rib is linked to disturbances deeper than the 8th thoracic vertebra. It is at the level of the brain, the main marrow. It's as if Xu Li channel were largely obstructed, preventing Shen energies from flowing down to the body.

OVERALL CONTROL

--> Surface vertical interrogation with the hand palm 1 handbreadth outside the base of the sternum. This control is not included in the 4 Luo control described in the previous paragraph. In the event of blockage, 2 secondary controls must be done:

a) Surface transverse interrogation on the dorsal side of the 5th toe.

b) Surface transverse interrogation on the plantar face of the interphalangeal joint of the big toe.

Dysfunction of the costotransverse articulation in the eighth rib (mobility is abnormal and on palpation, the area is dense, tense, touch-sensitive but not spontaneously).

CORRECTION

a) If the blockage is on the 5th toe, the therapist puts one hand on the 8th rib at the level of the outer pathway of the UB channel, and with the other, looks for the "rope" between his/her both hands at UB 7, UB 8 or UB 9. We find this blockage particularly in central nervous system disorders (Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease...).

b) If the blockage is on the big toe, the therapist puts one hand on the 8th rib at the level of the outer pathway of the UB channel, and with the other looks for the rope at DM 17, DM 18 or DM 19. We find this blockage particularly in deep psychological disturbances.

THE GREAT LUO OF THE STOMACH

There is no point on the 3rd toe as there is no point on the T8 vertebra. They are related to the great Luo of the Stomach (Xu Li - “Abode of Emptiness”), the 16th Luo, which arises from the stomach, emerges at ST 18 point, under the left breast, crosses the diaphragm and branches into the lungs. Xu Li is the Central Column through which spiritual energies (5 Shen) descend to increase the vibratory frequency of the energies produced by the 3 Burners. To achieve this, the Central Column must not be obstructed by undigested past or present emotions, hence the importance of the different emotional chains in the treatment. The controls and corrections below concern overtension in the Great Luo of the Stomach (tension on the “walls of the pipe”) and its repercussions on a physical level. A manifestation of the Energy's ability to flow freely within will be offered in a forthcoming publication.

I – OVERALL CONTROL

Surface vertical interrogation on the base of the sternum with the hand palm. If that is blocked, 2 controls are required:

1) First, the therapist takes the 3rd toe between both hands and through an “energetic” push evaluates whether he can go through the bone or not (photo 1).

Confirmation: surface transverse interrogation on the dorsal face of the index finger’s distal phalanx, below the nail.

2) The second control is done through an osseous transverse interrogation on patella. ST 42, ST Yuan-source point, is closed and T8 vertebra is blocked (it does not respond to an osseous vertical interrogation). Confirmation: surface transverse interrogation on the dorsal side of the 4th metacarpal bone.

II – CORRECTION

1) If the first control is blocked, the therapist takes the 3rd toe with a thumb/index pinch, his/her other hand descends the Stomach channel on the lower limb, on the surface, until he/she has the sensation of a rope between hands (photo 2). That releases tension in the stomach on the left side, in the duodenum on the right side, and especially in the diaphragmic cupolae (diaphragm is the most central muscle).This blockage is very common.

2) If the second control is blocked, the therapist puts one hand on ST 42 and, with the other, looks for the rope at ST 10 level.

REFLECTION ON THE USE OF ACUPUNCTURE POINTS

A point can have different energetic functions, but the way in which a point is used, beyond the notion of tonification/sedation or the combination of points, will differ according to the function to be regulated.
ST 36, Zusanli, may be used, for example, either to eliminate a toxic inscription in the Stomach, or to tonify the Yang energy of the body, or the Yang in one particular organ or viscera, or to stimulate specifically the immune function related to Spleen/thymus. But the mode of action on this point, the mode of correction, will be different in each case. It is the palpatory reading of the tissues that will determine the disturbed energy function . It is important to give the body the most precise information to enable it to correct itself. We have illustrated our approach to tcm in previous publications on this page.

TRAUMATIC BLOCKAGES

Vertebral and limb joint blockages caused by falls, shocks, improper movement, bad posture or repeated micro-trauma are corrected from the traumatic center of the ankle. Using one hand, the therapist interrogates transversally the whole circumference of the ankle, on the surface, looking for a stuck area (photo 1). He keeps the hand on this zone and with the other, runs along the lateral side of the body. The 2nd hand indicates the LEVEL of the blockage in the body (photo 2).

For one joint, the therapist will find several stuck zones, very close together, on the center of the ankle, as different muscles and ligaments are usually affected. Correction restores mobility to the joint in a very gentle, non-manipulative way, even in the acute phase.

In order to control the whole body, the therapist can interrogate vertically the anterior side of the wrist, on the surface (photo 3). If there is no response, the therapist then interrogates the traumatic center of the ankle as described above.

In the case of spinal trauma, the therapist will also control the Window of Sky points, particularly those in the superior band (DM 16, GB 20, UB 10...) which can disturb the energy movement in the occiput (controls and corrections are summarized on photo 4), as well as points UB 31 to UB 35 which can disturb the energy movement in the sacrum.

Note that control of the T4-T5 mechanical center ( photo 5) indicates the side of the blockage and enables you to assess the effectiveness of corrections made, as does overall control on the wrist.

Joint blockages can have origins other than traumatic (toxinic, clmatic, endocrine, emotional, dental...). They are then treated specifically according to their cause.

The method of correction has been discussed in various publications on this page.

THE TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT - TEETH

A - THE DYSFUNCTIONS OF THE TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT (TMJ) referred as Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD).

They are characterized by aching pain in and around the ear, bruxism, difficulty opening and closing the mouth, “click” sound when opening it, neuralgia of the face, headaches, neck pain.

We propose an additional TMJ test. This is done through a surface transverse interrogation on the anterior side of the forearm, 1 handbreadth below the elbow crease (3 cun) (photo 1). This test can be confirmed by an osseous vertical interrogation on the TMJ itself (in the GB 2 area) (photo 2).

The main causes are:

1) a blockage of traumatic origin (shock, hard food, chronic grinding or clenching of teeth..) which leads to spasms of the temporal, masseter and pterygoid muscles (the muscles of mastication). The correction is made with one hand on the traumatic centre of the ankle, the other hand looks for the blockage on the lateral side of the head, vertically to the tragus. It is also necessary to control the local points (GB 2, ST 5, ST 6)

2) overtension of emotional and mental origin (stress..). The blockages of the muscles of mastication have a nervous etiology. Energetic disturbances mainly concern the Shao Yang level (TW -GB – Yang Wei Mai). The parathyroid glands, in resonance with Yang Wei Mai, are responsible for muscle spasms.

3) malocclusion. Blockages on the forearm and TMJ persist after full treatment as well as the blockage of the T4-T5 mechanical centre. It requiers recourse to a specialist in occlusodonctis.

B - TOOTH/ORGAN RELATIONSHIP – ORAL DISORDERS

Each “dental lodge” (tooth, alveolar bone and periodontal ligament) is related to an Extraordinary Channel and an organ or viscera (photo 3), and this even if the tooth has fallen out.

Teeth are a deep therapeutic level. They are part of the Extraordinary Yang organs which are related to the Earlier Heaven energies

Different controls – some of them have been published on this page – determine the disturbed the Extraordinary Channel or organ/viscera (photo 4).

Correction consists in connecting the endocrine gland in resonance with the Extraordinary Channel, or the organ/viscera with the corresponding tooth.

IT IS CRUCIAL TO UNDERSTAND THAT CORRECTS A DISTURBANCE OF AN ENERGETIC FUNCTION IN DEPTH, BUT NOT A DENTAL PROBLEM (CARIES, CYST, GRANULOMA…). Moreover, the corresponding tooth is not painful. So don't be too quick to make the connection between a dental condition and the attached decoding.

Dental affections are most often caused by a poor hygiene of the oral cavity or the presence of metals, to***co, genetic predispositions, hormonal disturbances...

The deficiency of an energy function could cause the corresponding tooth to fracture.

Oral diseases, bacterial in origin and promoted by the above factors, often begin insidiously, and left untreated, they cause inflammation of the tissues around the tooth and bone (caries, abscesses, gingivitis, periodontal disease...) or at a distance, creating energy barriers.

Recent research has identified a body zone linked to bacterial inscriptions at dental level. This zone, which we call the “TOOTH POINT”, will be the subject of a forthcoming publication. From this “tooth point”, the therapist will be able to search for the affected dental lodge on the dental arches on the same side of the body, thus giving the body the information it needs to trigger the self-correction mechanism.

In case of acute dental problem as an abscesses, the therapist finds in the reading grid other therapeutic levels such as the Spleen chain in relation to the Yang phases of the disease (Inflammation = phase II; SP 15 and SP 16 are used), specific correction of LI 4 and ST 44, ST and LI points on the face, controlled through the frontal centre.

NECK ADENOPATHIES AND TRIPLE WARMER MERIDIAN

In previous publications, we have discussed the importance of the thymus and the spleen in the immune system and how to treat, particularly with the current flu epidemic.
Triple Warmer points as TW 10, TW 13 and TW 17 are indicated for treating cervical adenopathy due to infection.
The overall control of these points is done through a surface and dermis transverse interrogation at the level of the insertion of the deltoid muscle on the arm (at the level of point LI 14).
For correction, the therapist puts a hand on the point which is closed and connects it with SP 3 or SP 10 points, major points of Spleen to stimulate its immune function, as studied previously.

THE ST 8 POINT

ST 8, Touwei, located 1 c. above GB 4, relates to the spirit level, the 5 Shen and the outer pathway of the Urinary Bladder channel.

I – OVERALL CONTROL
-> surface transverse interrogation in the middle of the anterior side of the leg.
-> dermis vertical interrogation on the center of the hand palm.
In case of blockage, UB 41 (at vertebra T2 level) and UB 54 (at vertebra S4 level) are closed, on the same side. These 2 points border the outer pathway of the Urinary Bladder chain we studied previously, which runs from UB 42 to UB 53. They are linked to the Ren Mai – Du Mai liaison (Jacques Pialoux - “Le Diamant Chauve Plus”). In addition to that, GB 1, which is also the cephalic control point linked to the Ren Mai – Du Mai connection, is also closed (see previous publication about the Extraordinary Channels). The area on the anterior line of the neck, between the upper border of the sternal manubrium and the Adam's apple, feels dense and heavy when palpated.
The therapist can find a ST 8 blockage without disturbance on the outer pathway of Urinary Bladder chain and the cephalic control points of the Extraordinary Channels.

II – CORRECTION
The therapist puts one hand on ST 8 and, with the other hand, connects it to the anterior neck area between the upper border of the sternal manubrium and the Adam's apple, in the region dense to palpation. After correction, ST 8, UB 41, UB 42 and GB 1 are open and the neck area is more distended.

Note:

J.Pialoux relates the Ren Mai – Du Mai liaison to the carotid body, located at the bifurcation of each common carotid artery, on the anterior face of the neck. It is a chemorecepteur that monitors the blood's pH, pCO2 and pO2.

THE OUTER PATHWAY OF THE URINARY BLADDER CHANNEL - THE GUI - INTRODUCTION TO MIASMS

Ancestral memories (hereditary), birth trauma (see S. Grof's perinatal matrices), fears (of abandonment, rejection, etc.) and other traumas (territorial conflict, humiliation, etc.) from early childhood and childhood, the reactivation of emotional shocks (by an event, an anniversary, etc.) are inscribed on the outer pathway of the Urinary Bladder channel as well as in the teeth (Water Element). The Covid-19 pandemic had in particular revived the “archaic” fears, individual or collective, such as the fear of death, of dying alone, of the unpredictable, of what we cannot control.
To these disturbances in the "terrain" must be added those linked to miasmes, as described by Samuel Hahnemann.
Hahnemann distinguished 3 miasms, i.e. hereditary predispositions that are transmitted from generation to generation through millions of human organisms, causing an innate imbalance of vital energy - Jing Qi - and the development of certain pathologies. He described 3 miasms - psora, sycose and luese, historically linked to scabies, gonorrhea and syphilis - to which his successors, Nobel and Vannier in particular, added tuberculinism.
We are shortly publishing the study we have made about palpatory reading and corrections of miasms .
3 levels of reading are to be considered:
- the primary lesions
- the more or less protections that the body puts over them
- the intrication of several miasms
In this publication, we remind you the controls and corrections of the outer pathway of the UB channel and the Gui.

DECODING OF THE OUTER PATHWAY OF UB CHANNEL (J. Pialoux)
UB 42 (T3) --> LU
UB 43 (T4) --> LI
UB 44 (T5) --> HT
UB 45 (T6) --> SI
UB 46 (T7) --> UB
UB 47 (T9) --> LV
UB 48 (T10) --> GB
UB 49 (T11) --> SP
UB 50 (T12) --> ST
UB 51 (L1) --> TW
UB 52 (L2) --> KD
UB 53V(S2) --> PC

OVERALL CONTROLS :
They indicate a disturbance on the outer pathway of the UB channel. They both give the same result.
- dermis transverse interrogation at the outer face of the ankle level (photo 1)
- surface (epidermis) transverse interrogation at the clavicle level with the hand palm (photo 2)

SEARCH FOR THE DISTURBED ENERGY FUNCTION:
- surface transverse interrogation on the ulnar groove (proximal level, i.e. above the location of the radial pulses). Photo 3 shows the placement of the fingers on the Water-Wood-Fire positions from left to right.
- Confirmation through osseous vertical interrogation on the metatarsal bones
M1 --> Earth
M2 --> Metal
M3 --> Water
M4 --> Wood
M5 --> Fire – Fire Minister (photo 4)

CORRECTION This is done with one hand on the “occipital centre” (occiput-C1-C2), the other hand on the corresponding point of the disturbed organ or viscera on the outer pathway of UB channel. A simple way to know if it is the organ or viscera of the Element that is affected, is to palpate their corresponding point. The therapist chooses the one that is closed (that does not respond).

Note that we frequently find these blockages in infants and young children who are agitated, anxious, with sleep disorders (night terrors...) at the level of UB 52 and UB 53 in relation to Kidney and Pericardium.

THE GUI
The ideogram GUI (Kouei) is found in that of the PO and the HUN. It is often translated as ghost. The PO and HUN of the dead can disturb that of the living. The PO, wich has a structuring function at conception, has the inverse action at the moment of death. For ancient Chinese, psychiatric diseases are caused by Gui.
Overall control is done through a surface transverse interrogation on the back of the skull with the hand palm and through a surface transverse interrogation on the anterior side of the ankle with fingers.
In order to correct, the therapist puts one hand on the two UB 1points. With the other hand, he/she looks for among the ghost points given by Sun Simiao the ones that are connected to the first hand (photo 5)
Ghost points: LU 11 - LI 11 - PC 7 - PC 8 - DM 16 - DM 23 - SP 1 - UB 6 - ST 6 - RM 24 - RM 1 - HAIQUAN. We add LU 10 and LI 10

The tooth-organ resonance was the subject of previous publications.

YANG WEI MAI AND ENDOCRINE GLANDS

Disturbances in the Yang Wei Mai are very frequent and responsible for many of our patients' ailments.
The Yang Wei Mai is in resonance with the thyroid and parathyroid glands (Jacques Pialoux “Guide to Acupuncture and Moxibustion"). An imbalance in Yang Wei Mai affects the thyroid gland, causing hyper- or hypothyroidism and thyroid nodules. The parathyroids regulate blood calcium levels (calcemia). At muscular level, their functional disturbance (without any biological sign), causes MUSCULAR SPASMS, in turn causing osteo-articular blockages (torticollis, lumbago, tendinitis...) or digestive and intestinal spasms.
Disturbances of the Yang Wei Mai, and therefore of the thyroid and parathyroid glands, are most often linked to the stress of daily life (work, family...), emotional over-tensions, poor time management (people always in a hurry, running out of time). They appear in people who are tense, who hold back their emotions, who can't express them (I “hold back” so as not to “burst”). It's the Shao Yang energy level (GB – TW) that's affected. In fact, the master point of the Yang Wei Mai is TW 5, and many Yang Wei Mai points belong to the gall bladder meridian (GB 35, GB 21, from GB 13 to GB 20). Shao Yang and Yang Wei Mai are often associated with energy imbalances.
Thermoregulation disorders can also be related to Yang Wei Mai.

CORRECTION OF YANG WEI MAI DISTURBANCE
As with all Extraordinary Channels, we consider 3 basic levels
- the master point (TW 5)
- the constituent points of the Extraordinary Channel, especially its entry and exit points (UB 63 and GB 20- DM 16)
- the cephalic control point of the Extraordinary Channel (GB 4)
and at a higher level, in relation to the teeth – and more specifically the “dental lodges” (1st pre-molar = tooth 4).
Global controls and corrections, including for GB, have been the subject of previous publications on this FB page.
We remind you that on the Spleen chain, linked to the 6 phases of the disease, from SP 12 to SP 21, i.e. 10 points, each is energetically linked to an organ or viscera, with PC and TW not appearing. Palpatory observations allowed us to link TW to TW 15 – GB 21, and PC to ST 10.

THE STOMACH CHAIN FROM ST 11 TO ST 30

Three levels are to be considered:
- the emotional chain of the Stomach channel
- the emotional axis Pericardium - Stomach
- the somatic chain of the Stomach channel

I - THE EMOTIONAL CHAIN OF THE STOMACH CHANNEL

The Liver is the major drainer of the energies in the body (it particularly drains all types of emotions).
When the Liver can no longer drain the emotions that turned into fire, the Pericardium intervenes to protect the Heart. This fire overheats the Pericardium which drains off on the Stomach chain from ST 11 to ST 30, the Stomach being the PC’s emunctory through its midday/midnight relationship with PC. Most EMOTIONAL SHOCKS are imprinted on this chain (ST 14 is a major point, often blocked after any kind of emotional shock).
The decoding of the Stomach chain by Jacques Pialoux (“Guide to Acupuncture and Moxibustion”) is validated by practice. Each point is related to an organ or a viscera.

a) overall control
It indicates whether there is a disturbance in the emotional chain of the Stomach that needs to be corrected.
Several tests that give the same result are possible:
- transverse interrogation of the dermis in front of the patella
- transverse interrogation of the epidermis at the level of the pisiform bone of the wrist
Controls are made on both sides

b) search for the disturbing energy function
It is done through a transversal interrogation of the epidermis of the Element positions (Water, Wood, Fire...) in the radial groove but above (towards the root of the limb) the location of fingers when taking pulses (photo 2).

For example, a great fear will often be inscribed on the Water position. ST 11 or ST 23 points related to the Kidneys will be closed on palpation (the point does not respond to a vertical interrogation on the surface). The “Water” point of the Pericardium channel (PC 3) on the blocked side in the overall control is also closed.

c) correction
This is done by putting down one hand on the closed point corresponding to the disturbed energy function on the blocked side in the overall control, the other hand covers the vertex region (top of the head) looking for a “rope” between hands – the therapist has the sensation that his/her hands are connected by a rope -, then he/she does nothing more and waits for its release in the following seconds. The point is open again. The release of the “rope” indicates the body has integrated the information.

II - THE EMOTIONAL AXIS PERICARDIUM - STOMACH
The emotional shocks are imprinted on the emotional chain of the Stomach channel whereas
conflicts that have been going on for some time, are on the emotional axis Pericardium - Stomach. The Stomach has difficulty “digesting” a situation that is not accepted.

The overall control is done through a surface transversal interrogation on the patella with the hand palm. Confirmation through an osseous transversal interrogation on the lateral side of the elbow (epicondyle). Secundary controls determine the disturbed level on the Stomach chain. Correction is made by connecting this zone to the region of point ST 10, which is related to the Pericardium.
A detailed study will be the subject of a forthcoming publication. It can be found on the digital version of A Chinese Medicine Geometrical Handbook (2024)
https://a.co/d/felAJIE

III - THE SOMATIC CHAIN OF THE STOMACH CHANNEL

Whereas the 2 previous readings are on an emotional level, this one is on a corporeal level. It treats energy stagnations in the 3 Burners, i.e. in the organs themselves, whose origin may have been physical or emotional.
