When you diagnose in a 5 elemental way, you are always looking for an: Aggressor element Usually when one sees a case one tends to think in terms of symptoms and that sets a trap, because one may end up treating the symptoms and not the basic 5 elemental design which treats cause. Example: Woman, 45, administrator in a large company, complains of headaches, stress related, comes off and on, one sided. Accompanying symptoms involve ST [dyspepsia, acidity, indigestion, heartburn, nausea, pain at REN 17]. Looks very much like a case of migraine. And we will think of taking care of her with a tried and tested acupuncture protocol: SJ 5 - GB 41 LV 3, LV 2. GB 34 Taiyang, Ying Tang etc Now the horror of the situation. Pt gets well but relapses in 3 months. So you look up notes, treat again, pt remains well for 4 months and relapses again. And asks you that interesting question, Doctor, why do I get this again and again?.

So why did she have relapses? Because her Wood LV is under duress by a silent and sinister ... Aggressor element And who can this be? Well lets discuss: 1. Wood cannot be Woods Aggressor 2. Fire is Woods child, hardly a danger 3. Earth is actually controlled by Wood, cant return favor 4. Metal is capable of controlling Wood. Hmm, needs a second look. 5. Water is Woods mother, cannot go counter to trditional reputation
So who is it? Metal, a controller who can turn renegade and become Aggressor. Fie upon controllers in general. From the roof tops: In migraines Metal can be the Aggressor So if this is the case, in the matter of relapses one should check out Metal? Yes, one should establish with signs and symptoms, a LU Deficiency which later aggressed upon LV and became a LV Excess. Whenever LU Qi went down, LV Qi went up, literally to temples. Just treating LV was a stop gap, now treat LU and there are no relapses.

How does this profile look on the 5 e chart?? First check out the chart below for 5 e basics and then go to next page: KEY Green is Wood, yin LV and yang Gall Bladder Red is Fire, yin HT and yang Small Intestine Yellow is Earth, yin SP and yang Stomach White is Metal, yin LU and yang Large Intestine Black is Water, yin K and yang Urinary Bladder In health: Wood controls Earth Earth controls Water Water controls Fire Fire controls Metal Metal controls Wood
Illnesses arise when control becomes injury. The main reason for that is a yin def in the controlling element
In illness: Wood injures Earth Earth injures Water Water injures Fire Fire injures Metal Metal injures Wood
5 element diagnostics work with these 3 Qi dynamics Nourishing Qi Controlling Qi Injuring Qi Nourishing Qi runs all the time whether person is healthy or sick. Controlling Qi runs as long as there is no yin deficiency in any element. Injuring Qi runs when there is yin deficiency in controlling element. At this time Controlling Qi becomes Injuring Qi. All illnesses occur when Injuring Qi begins to flow.
