Okay? And started again
Okay. I think we're gonna be done early. Cause this is a fairly short topic.
There's not a lot to say about black eyes, but but I had fun with this one, anyway.
Just it was just enjoyable. It's like a little add in.
So why moving's eyes? Low shop, right traumatic injury to the eye collaterals is blunt trauma to the eyeball, which means black eye
And
You know, often like this is either treated at home, treated in an emergency room.
But it's incredibly fun to think about how we can be helpful as long as you know that there isn't like like an actual rupture.
I actually did write a chapter on that with like, actually, where there's like a piercing of the eyeball.
I didn't include that here, but ocular contusion, you know, as long as, like the retina isn't detached.
Is actually something that we most certainly can't treat, and and and I think the Chinese medicine becomes extremely pragmatic.
So.
So so what? This is is a non perforated wound from a blunt object, you know, like you got hit by a baseball bat playing, you know.
T ball, whatever. Yeah, I mean, black guys happen all the time to kids.
Most of the time. It's just cosmetic. We don't have to worry about it.
But of course there can be like really bad accidents, like liquid pressure or gas head trauma.
And actually eyeball, like real eyeball injury.
Now I think that this is a really good time to maybe have the kid go to the er to make sure that they're okay.
But once we know they're okay, that the globe is not traumatized right?
Cause we wanna make sure there isn't actually bleeding inside the chamber and the lenses and dislocated or retinal hemorrhage or detachment, right?
So you want an ophthalmologist to evaluate the conclusions early.
So I would take them to a Children's Hospital right away, or a doctor.
But you know, here in Philadelphia we have a Premier Children's Hospital
So the first part is just simply home care with ice, and then later on, warm packs.
It's very important to rest, and what we've learned from traumatic brain injuries is we've learned that absolutely no screen time and I think that this is really true for this, too.
You have to relax the eyes. That's not a brain injury per se.
It's not about that, but just relax the eyes.
So it's very important to elevate the head, so you don't want blood pooling in the eye and just rest
So what they say about this in the Yan hygiene way is that it's serious when there is injury to the wind wheel, which is the cornea and the water wheel people.
If they become unclear. That's very serious. And so we extrapolate that to mean that I contusions are serious when the cornea is a braided or lacerated, and what what whoever the author is says first is first blood stasis?
And then, if there's pain, administer mo yo song, which is murr powder, and here the ingredients are Mo Yale mancha, and da wong.
So that's an interesting formula that is clearly about blood stasis and trauma and swelling and inflammation
And so this is. This is in here. The check is the the chapter on Hematoma to the eyelid that's what what that is from.
But that's basically we're gonna extrapolate.
That. That's what this is right. The hematoma to the island
So basically, you know, the ideology is really pretty obvious. Right?
There's blond trauma, and the edges of Chi and blood, and it damages the collaterals and causes blood, spillage, and blood.
Stasis, and she stagnation right? That's not rocket science
Mom wants to know if dog snouts are considered blunt trauma cause it just happened
To see a black eye.
Not yet. We'll see
Well, if if if there is, you'll know what to do.
Alright! There's only 2 patterns, I have no idea what that image is about.
I was just trying to get something
So the thing about the eyes is that there's so many trap channels right?
And and there's low vessels. There's these tiny little vessels that go all through the eye and right all through the eye, and so that you get this trauma.
And and it damages all of that, and then it causes blood spillage.
So you know, sort of depending on the location. There can be different clinical manifestations, and so part of your diagnosis should be like the location of the bleeding right?
Whether it's on the on the the tea wheel or the the muscle wheel right, you might target it in that way
So in Ella. So I'm gonna talk to my dog for a second.
Here's a bone that you brought up here. Okay?
So we got a man and he basically, he went to the hospital an hour after getting hit in the left eye with a Badminton ball, and his friends took him to the hospital right and we're not worried about his history because it doesn't even matter, and he's fine.
So they look at it. Basically, the eyeball is swollen, and it's already bruising at the back.
Wall of the cornea and his physical exam is normal.
He's alert. He's not fainting.
He's not unconscious. There's no signs of like neurological problems as lungs are clear.
He's basically fine.
So from the Yan hygiene way. This is our strategy.
This is this is the triage strategy for an injury like this.
First we have to stop leading, then we invigorate the blood, and then we reduce swelling.
Stop bleeding, move, bleeding, move, blood, reduce, swallowing and inflammation
And this is the formula it's a modified 10 charge.
Substances modified. Sure we saw right? So everything about this case is excessive.
We're not thinking about any kind of deficiency, because it just happened.
And it's terrible. And so the dodgy and the Shao G. And the chin.
So gun. So by bye, mal Gun and Shan Juza.
Oh, that's that's Cardinia Sean, Jrsa.
All of those are gonna cool blood and stop leading the zon Lupi is that palm bark, and that also is a stringent.
And steps bleeding
And then the lotus leaf, Hooya, Moodonpie, and dahong, clear heat and cool the blood, and invigorate the blood to transform stasis.
You could also just use pooh, Wong to stop bleeding and also invigorate the blood
Or you could make your life really simple and give them unanimously out.
Bam.
This is like, absolutely. This is the time in place for you, and then buy out what
Works, harder work, smarter, not harder.
Right work smarter, not harder, right? And you've got to get that vision to lay down, and just.
And here is like with both eyes wrapped to prevent movement like that's actually a good idea or even, you know, just an I feel just, but not with like a lot of weight, just like even a towel over the I just those eyes have to rest. This is a good time.
With a kid to have them listen to an audio book I mean.
Otherwise. You you know you sit there and read. Non, stop, but you could do that.
But you gotta get that kid to rest like they can't be watching cartoons.
They can't be on the computer. No, no, no.
Hey, girl.
That's cool. So
Anyway. So that's though. That's very easy.
Now
The follow-up that's a follow up 2 days later, you know he's feeling a lot better, and you know it's still bruising, but the bleeding is partially absorbed, and now the color of the blood is dark.
Red. So that means there's no fresh bleeding, and that's a good sign.
So, therefore we want to add medicinals that are gonna invigorate the blood and transform.
Stasis like at first, we just really wanted to stop the bleeding.
Now we're gonna now here's part 2 of our triage right
And so this is what's nice about this, no matter what is it?
Kind of walks you through triaging a case of an accurate injury
And so we're using this. But now the doctor adds, Sumo, Tom
Alright, and but using Showdi and Trisha instead
I don't know if P. Was in the previous one, but it's here now.
I can't remember
So right, so very simple, to cool the blood. Stop leading, invigorate the blood and transform stasis.
Really sort of simple way to do it, or you could give a little more unnatural.
And you know, behind that do some type of nourishing blood moving formula
Trying to think like, what would a patent be? The only one that I can think of generally, or for menstrual cramps like the tongue.
Jing one which would be fine. It would be fine for this, you know. Just like as a you know, it would be fine, cause it's gonna nourish and move blood
And then in terms of topical care, they're saying, Take take fresh Romania song by P.
Scallions and mugboard, or turn ups and make a compress.
Actually, you could make a compress out of like Dicon Radish, and that would actually feel quite cooling right?
And this covered with the wash out through a piece of gauze. Right?
I mean, you're gonna do what you can do. But this is like, and this is where you could do some home remedy.
Cooling.
Strategies. And there's a you know, the patient they just really have to rest, and they should not be having, like spicy foods that are gonna result in win.
So just have a calm diet, become rest hard to do for virtually everybody right? And imagine, you know, if you're
It's it's hard to get a kid to sit still.
It's gonna be incredibly hard to get an adult to sit still.
If that adult is like a parent, for instance. Like, How do you take care of your kids?
Single parent, really, hard. So basically for most part, the prognosis is, gonna be good.
But what they say is, it's powerful white shade develops, and that suggests that there's a nebula, and that can cause blindness.
So this is an ophthalmological problem. And that's that's not in our scope of practice.
So.
So here's another case.
And this is actually a formula. You will very likely have on hand. Right?
This would be a great way to handle this. So the patient basically basically got hit in the eye.
A week before by tree STEM, and you know now he has a black eye, and he's given
Oh, but he feels distension and pain now. The distension and pain, distension.
That's called purchase stagnation. That's code for stagnation. Right?
That's what that means. So if you like, feels distended, it's a week ago.
It's sub acute. You're not stopping, bleeding anymore.
Now you're vigorating the blood. So we're gonna say, because there's this distension
And pain that there's Chi and blood stagnation.
So we can modify short food juice and we'll we'll modify it just with a couple of herbs that are gonna clear heat and inflation from the eyes.
The moods. Say Ju, Hua, and Shantway, let's say you know, believe it or not.
Some people really, really have a ton of moods, say, growing around their house, you know, horse tail.
It grows it's an invasive weed.
It's actually very prehistoric, like there's fossils of it.
It's very interesting, has a lot of silica
But the idea is to eliminate a nebula and to brighten the eyes, and so the the Shawn, Toy.
Remember, I discussed the idea of screens like visual obstruction, so that shanty and then would say, will address that right.
So like, if that's happening
You can say I've got a strategy. We can try
Right. You say this is discussed in the literature. Let's see if we can make an and you know especially, it's early.
Let's try this. That's what I would say.
And here's how this can take. This case continues right.
So they treat the guy for 3 days, and he's less photophobic.
You know, everything is kind of improving, but they look at the eye and there's Hyperimia.
I you know this is swelling and and a little bit of bloodstaces.
But basically, the there's the interocular pressure is increased.
Right? So that there's water retention there's and so and there's Cornea swelling.
So that's swelling the way that we do that is, we have this practical way of reducing that cornial edema.
This is like, I want to empower you to treat this because you can do these things like sometimes there's like, after somebody is cataracts surgery.
They have this, cranial edema. There's a you know, and that's a combination from the surgery.
They don't have a lot to do for this, but we do right.
So there's still moving Cham blood right. But now they're just simply modifying it with Chatenza, which I mentioned earlier Soisha and Fulin, right?
So like you'll see combinations like that for formulas, for open angle glacoma not closed angle.
That's a whole nother animal, but open angle glacoma.
So it creates this opportunity to sort of understand in a big way how we can reduce eyeball swelling.
Caused by damp obstruction. That's really powerful, I think
Because I actually frickin think about these things so. But you know but you can.
This is so easy. Right? Okay, so like, you don't have that.
You have Shui Fuju tongue in the house, and you have rulings on.
Just give them that. Okay, that will do that. That will be the same result
Now there was another formula which I think was in the you know, hygiene.
Way called to Utah and Stasis, dispelling decoction it's an odd formula, but I just thought I'd share it with you.
And in this case it's from bleeding and blood stasis.
It stops bleeding, it invigorates the blood.
But if you all through the dose of the formula, you could actually direct it in lots of different ways.
So you know, we know that Don wage church out. Howren you, Jen, those will all invigorate the blood and eliminate blood stages.
Then we have Shanghai, Hall, Han Lee, Ands out, and Shan, who sell.
So that's gonna cool the blood and stop leaving alright.
So we're moving now. We're cooling now.
The isolation on the cake in this formula is Zelon. Are you any of you familiar with Zillion like Copie
Well, it's quite similar to E. Mood cell.
Mother. War is quite similar in that it invigorates the blood, but also drains fluid.
Right so here it has a dual purpose of invigorating the blood, and eliminating boastasis.
But also promoting your enron, which means it helps to drain that eyeball swelling and so it's kind of a just an alternative formula to the ones I just discussed.
Just to expand your vocabulary, but like so, for instance, okay, so let's say, we're just gonna we only have this room is the only formula on planet Earth. Right?
So if we when the bleeding has to be controlled, we could boost up the Shawnee Holy and sell on Shawn, whose so right we just like double those doses, and later, when we have to regulate the blood, we could double those doses, right of the donaway.
True shout, Denton! Chuan Chong! Right!
But if we felt that there was some cheese stagnation we could.
Really bump up the user right? And if there's more swelling, we bump up the zillion.
You see what I just did. So what I just did. I just like I just played with the formula to make it be what I needed it to be in the moment right?
Nice
Guys, that's a rap
I have to tell you. It's really, really a privilege to share this learning space with you.
And I really hope that you have found these classes
Practical and useful. We're actually ending early, but I'd love to know if you have any questions for me.
And about anything it doesn't have to necessarily be on ophthalmology, or I.
Things or pediatrics. I I'm here for you, and I
Would also love to hear from you gaps in your practice, and where maybe I can be supportive in in filling that out and feeding you.
You know my version of knowledge, which seems to be clinically based in practical
Martial, Lucas, Hi
Any final words or thoughts.
Hey, Kara, can you hear me?
Okay. Yeah.
Hey? I have a patient who has, like chronic tearing of her eyes, or like one eye.
Oh, okay.
It's like, like, just it's always watering.
And I feel like she also had a procedure on it like a long time I can't remember if maybe it wasn't, if it wasn't being productive enough for the doctors or whatever her diagnosis was at the time.
But then they might have had something to like open it up so it could just be a result of, you know, Western medicine surgery kinda just lingering, creating that issue.
But if I wanted to approach it herbly, what do you would any thoughts on that?
Okay.
Hang on 1 s. I do have an answer for you, and I'm gonna try to guide you to something.
Sure.
Just let me find it. Okay.
Cause. I have an excerpt from a chapter and it's either on 6 fishes or on China, or I cannot remember where.
So I'm gonna try to find it. Okay. So and I'll then I can just quick screen share and show you.
Oh, yeah, I got it. Okay, hold on
Zoom okay, make do a quick screen share. Okay? So this is on the 6 fishes website on the blog.
Okay. And it's called the treatment of Epipha.
It's a it's excessive. So this is.
This is not the whole chapter, but this is this will walk you through a bunch of this stuff, and so the diseases called you legend, lacroation, syndrome, and what they say is, it's there's sort of this is either there's blood deficiency.
Causing dryness which results in more tearing. This a loose lacrimal orifice.
That's it. Transation of like, it's just kinda like stuff is just spilling because there is enough cheat or wind right?
And so you either modify Su Wu, Tong, Bajin, Tong, or Zobeway, and according to this chapter.
And so like, for instance, in the first one, this, this is a little case.
History, we're delivering. Kidneys aren't restraining fluids, and so what you can see here, because you can see that there's the issue of wind cause fungi is there?
By Gtn is gonna nurse the young. But, by Julie, is for itching right?
So here we kinda know that there's some type of itching and tearing and a little bit of irritation along with it, and then there's just crazier the Shirley up right the the pomegranate hu which is fundamentally just like the stringent and
Sour.
And so, you know, like tearing. It's not a problem like it's not painful, but it is really, really annoying.
And you know, like it, it. It makes people really uncomfortable.
I get actually calls because I posted this, I get people reach out all over the world like literally.
Now in essentials from the Silver Sea. I discussed it right.
There's a passage, and it says, lacrimation due to intrusion of wind, or lacrimation, one facing the wind, like people who I, whose eyes tier when they are in the wind, they it's really interesting.
So they say. Hot tiers should be treated with Chuan cha chaos on, while tears caused by liver wind treated with song juice, on which is interesting liver deficiency is called something like surely boogons on tear checking liver supplementing
powder. Now, I believe all these formulas are in. I translated in the book, and then coal tiers are rush on, which is aconite, and Frankenstein's oof that would be a lot
But so but what I, my commentary, said, what's not discussed is the relationship of tearing, and they enter campus because all affirmation originates from the campus, and as a close relationship with the heart, the harder is associated with fire and governs blood and vessels
And so this is Tuan Ch Chateau.
On from the Yen hygiene way. So it's not the one that we think of for headaches, but it's right there for you to grab. Okay?
And then here's the song juice on which is a strange for me.
Very few formulas contain managing, and, by the way.
And then here's the tier checking liver supplementing formula which is very short and brief and very, very clear in its actions. Right?
We're nourishing the liver when machine blood and we're eliminating wind clearing liver heat
Eliminating, itching. So right, it's very easy to understand that and there's more.
There's case studies. There's other stuff in the in the actual book.
If you have it, but that is probably a good space to get you going, and Melissa's asking.
And you guys didn't take advantage of this annual.
But there is a forum, and you can ask questions, and you can ask questions in an ongoing way.
I'm not going to shut that down. I did shut down last year, just because it was gonna create a lot of clotter for you.
But but it was very, very active for a while, because it was a very large class.
But yes, I'm available for you for all that stuff, because what we what didn't happen, I had offered it to you was was the zoom round tables and I'm still more than willing to to for us to schedule one if that would be helpful to you we just have to decide on
That on a day
And so if that's in, you know, say it in the chat, if that's something that is interesting to you, otherwise I won't bother.
But it's a great place to bring all kinds of questions.
I mean those questions, range a lot of a lot of people like bring business questions like and I'm fine with that.
And then this case? Questions. Oh, Margot, yeah, we're gonna make sure that that you get all those Melissa.
Did you get your CEO certificates for each class cause we'll make sure you get those
I have to check. But I also have to do a couple of emails still.
Oh, well, that yeah, Margaret, did you do all your emails?
Okay. Then. Sorry for the delay, but we'll get that to you within the next day or 2.
Okay.
Okay, cool. I just wanted to ask double check it was like, I don't think I've received anything.
Yeah.
It's it's worth demo checking. It's double check. We better be organized, but it's, you know, not perfect
Yeah, that happens. Okay, cool.
Where people joining everything like you are. So I'm never above a little reminder or a prompt
Lucas. That was a really good question, and I hope that that short answer speed answer is a little bit helpful, but it'll it, you know.
At least there's something you can just drop right into and think about more.
And then if you actually have my book, I don't even know if there's any copies left to even buy anymore.
But then you could read the whole thing so oh, yeah.
No, that was great. Thank you. It it is the 6 Fishes article.
Is that like a link I can get? Or can I just like it?
Will that just pop up if I type it in a search engine?
Well, here, I'll just drop it in the chat, but it's oops. Wait a minute.
What I just do. I'm in the let me get rid of this Powerpoint.
I just got lost lost in layers. Yeah. And so the 6 fishes, you know, 6 fishes.com blog, you know, find it, but there it is.
And then either on China, or or 6 fishes, there's an excerpt of the chapter on Study, which we covered quite a lot of maybe conjunctive.
I don't remember, you know I for a while I was interested in just sharing that, content with a lot of people.
But what it actually what one of the things that's very awkward about it is, you know.
I'll get calls from people from Europe, and like I really can't help them like I can't get herbs.
We tried once. It was a disaster
You know, I just can't. So I don't know anybody knows how to start practicing and Copenhagen let me know, because my son is there.
That's why it's really important. I keep teaching so I can teach from Denmark.
So, anyway, actually, here's a question, are there other pediatric topics that you would like me to develop
And one of the code I've made to myself in terms of China.
Herb is
To like, really get my head around glycer rights are not my favorite thing, but I know that they're very popular, and expand the little fishes line or tonic.
One, a teething one, you know, so absolutely open to input practical input for that, because everybody's feedback like what you want matters.
And I'll be much. You send me out a survey
Just to say, like, Help us grow like, Help us! Help us!
Serve you in a way that's meaningful, cause, you know.
Cause. I have some plans to invest some money and some infrastructure.
We needed different to cockter, and like dye, here's like a question like Diana Herman is, gonna stop her decoction services it's a dir material tolerance.
I was like, All right. Well, is that an opportunity to people want that?
But you know you know our our thing is these concentrates which are so so beautiful and practical.
But you can't have everything like you just can't
You know and there's some herbs we we just are so impractical because they're not used very often.
I'm even thinking, just do it, and just make some things in a frickin instant pot, so I can make 16 ounces of something that I would.
But isn't hardly ever used, cause you can't do that otherwise you can't make a teeny, tiny amount of something like Oh, I don't know some weird or so
Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! What is the pfa PA?
Somebody just approached me about that. What is that?
Melissa.
It's the periodic fever app this
Yes! Oh, my God! Somebody from Copenhagen! Yes, I actually wrote a blog which, on my website, the treatment of recurrent fevers.
And this guy in debmark just right it. And it's it's home.
I'll find it, and I'll send you the link
Alright. Thank you.
Yeah, I knew that was like, literally in my, it had just happened
Oh, my God! This is! This is an incredible space of I guess I could have talked about it with fevers.
It didn't occur to me, but
And also like I've had like kids with 2 2 now, which not is not a lot.
But it just seemed more than usual to me, where they would also have this like leg, like leg pain.
Associated with the record fevers, and you know they've been through every diagnosis, and no one can really well, this one was the other kid was diagnosed with p.
Fapa, but the other one she she hasn't on a diagnosis, either in. Then it comes with these really bad leg pains
Okay. Well, first of all, I wanna preface the article.
I wrote a number of years ago. I'm not even sure that I feel the same way, or I probably would expand on it, based on clinical experience.
Since that time I wrote it. So that's number one.
But you know, of course, we we think about this always. The the hard center of it is that it's a shell youngstage disorder, right?
And so, therefore Chinese medicine is the only answer for these things.
I know something weird, like line has been ruled out.
I,
So with a lent pain, I guess I would differentiate the quality of it.
Whether it's spasmodic, whether it feels bond or muscle, and then based on that that would inform my pattern differentiation of that.
So I guess it was muscular spasms. Then maybe I'm gonna think that there's like a blood fever, and then maybe
That I would. Maybe I would move to something like like the the the Chihuahuas do you remember that Melissa or anybody it's it's Su Tom was out tri hotel, and it's free current fevers associated with menstruation, but like so I would
You know. That's sort of oh, where my thinking would go around that.
But you know, of course, there was like, you know. Then, thinking about it also, shifting the formula in that direction as an example like, I I haven't treated that.
Symptom, like I haven't treated that presentation with the leg pain, but that's sort of I would just be thinking about all the different things of pain, and how that how that fits in.
And then you know, I don't wanna hopefully look at their tongue.
I'm just, and if I could feel their abdomen I'd want to do that as well
And if it's more bone than then, you'd go more kidney or
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then, you know, I I think I would.
Honestly, I would take a deep dive into those formulas that deal with heat in the bones.
Hmm.
You know all these deficiency, like hidden tiger decoction like, I would really have to take that seriously and dive into that
But those are like deep, like steaming heat internally.
But does that explain pain? They don't. But I would you still have to go to the kidneys, and then you have to create a story that weaves in the kidneys because of the bones and fevers right?
And so you have to link that together. But for the most part, for things that come, and they go and come and they go.
You know the the place that you fall into is is that it's a shy young disorder, that's an easy way to start.
It's so easy that you could even just give them show trial.
Who tongue with nothing modified, or the ching.
How, whatever it is, you know, like make it would change with Artemisia Annual, because somebody's like you have to vent the heat a little bit, and it's gentle, and it's less.
They might taste a little bit better. So you know, one of those moves
Is how I would be thinking about it for starters. That is how I think about it for starters.
So I am actually hoping that I can consult with this kid, and then in May I'll literally bring herbs with me to Denmark for this child
Yeah, thank you. That's helpful to how to approach it.
Depending on what pattern
Okay, we have a little bit more time. If anybody has any other questions, or I just central crises
No. Al alright. Okay. Well, anyway, as always, really, it's my privilege to be here.
I'm grateful for you. Stay tuned back fans, and for all of you.
If you find this helpful, the best best thing is, I would love it if you share that with your all.
Of this is available on recording. And then, you know, new things are gonna happen.
Then I'll probably offer a couple of little free freebies.
Oh, I think I know post my silly, my silly suit on lecture cooking class.
I'm just making it free, because this sound quality was so bad.
But it's silly. So you know, if you want to watch it, you can.
But also, wanna you know, both have sort of a a space with some free content.
And then, hey, contact
