Lyme disease

Submitted by Brenna J Wilcox on Tue, 02/24/2009 - 9:37am

Greetings everyone.

I have a client who is just starting IV antibiotics for Lyme Disease. She has had it for 9 years or so, misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia so it seems. While I am tapping the pattern of blockages and have set up Tong Ren with laser and map pins, I ask if there is anything more I can add.

Qi-ers,

No, that should be fine. 

No, that should be fine.  As you are a bodyworker you could add the same points with deep tissue style techniques to further facilitate the healing.  Just for reference the points for Lyme Disease are as follows:

  • T1, T2, T3 for the immune system (bone marrow, thymus gland, lung/lymph system respectively)
  • GB 20 and KD 26
  • T7 for the blood, GV 20, UB 9, LI 11, ST 36

From a bodywork perspective you would place the majority of the focus on the huatuo points of T1, T2, T3, and T7.

Thank you for confirming. I

Thank you for confirming. I do have these points. May I ask is K 26 for the thymus in Tong Ren protocol?

Will enjoy working on her next week.
