The Leg ShaoYang Meridian

One of my favorite meridians to use as the main focus of the treatment is the Leg ShaoYang channel. This channel can be used to treat a diverse number of ailments, ranging from physical pain to emotional disorders. The channel runs from the right corner of the eye all the way don to the lateral aspect of the fourth toe. This, itself, should signal to you how this channel could be used to treat many areas of the body.

Regarding physical ailments, the Leg ShaoYang channel is widely used by TCM practitioners to treat issues that deal with upper back/neck pain. I have used this channel many times to effectively treat these areas. In this blog, I will explain to you how I manipulate this channel by my point selection. Trust me, this is a very interesting topic I will discuss thoroughly in the future.

I just want you to appreciate the general areas this channel is used to treat for pain disorders. Now, I don’t want to leave you the impression that the upper back region is the only area I have used the Leg ShaoYang meridian for, as far as pain. Again, this meridian runs from the eye to the fourth toe. The way I have been trained in treating pain, I have used various location along this channel to help treat various body areas.

For instance, I use the Leg ShaoYang points located in the ankle/foot to treat finger or upper forearm pain. I often use this channel in a supplementary role. That is, I often use another meridian as the main source for treatment and use a couple of points along the Leg ShaoYang to supplement the healing effects of the main channel being used.

Usually, all the meridians I use to treat a specific area of pain are in some way related such as having an interior/exterior relationship. I am continually awed by range of the Leg ShaoYang meridian in treating a variety of ailments.

The effects of the COVID virus is being felt in the healthcare community, in a big way. I’m sure that this is not a revelation to most of you. However, I’m also confident that most of you are not appreciating just how the manner in treating patients is being affected.

As I have explained before, what makes TCM so unique is the natural manner that a practitioner uses to both diagnose and treat. What I mean by natural is how TCM practitioner uses his own senses, such as touch and feel, as instruments to treat a patient. With the advent of policies such as wearing masks/face shields or the need now to perform temperature checks on every patient has definitely altered the pristine nature of the treatment. Yes, I am speaking from personal experience of my current treatment of patients.

However, as with any factor that causes such a change to society, there are avenues by which members of society can help to curb the intensity of these effects. Most of you appreciate that COVID is a virus and thus there are symptoms that are associated with it, as with any other virus like the flu. The Western medical community naturally looks to treat such a virus, like COVID, by finding artificial means.

What do I mean by artificial means? If you are keeping up with the Western medical establishment’s response, you should be realizing that they feel that a vaccine is the surest way to combat the virus. They push this vaccine without listing the ingredients in the vaccine and publishing any trials that this vaccine is going through. However, what is most pertinent to this blog is their lack of acknowledging the natural means that are effective in treating, at the very least, the symptoms of the virus.

In the next blog, I will address how certain TCM protocols are very effective in treating COVID symptoms…
