Huh??????????????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
TUNG PREGNANCY
TUNG PREGNANCY
I used the Pt. Numbers by Dr. Wei Chi young and Dr. Maher. MY pinyin is
horrible ALL BOOKS can be purchased through Evergreen Herbs.
You can use your TCM with Tung if you want, just relax and breathe.
I usually about 5-15 pts, you can use less, its fine. You wont do well if you
use too few points when you are learning. Dont you think a GREAT outcome
is more important than holding strongly to an ideology of 2-5 pts? Breathe.
Please read my Tung Document attachment, it will tell you all about theory,
we just dont have time in 2 hours. Theory is a 96 hour class, then a lifetime of
continued study.
BUY A BOOK! What book? Pick one that you will like!
TUNG PREGNANCY
GENERAL IMAGING, 80-20
A great way to treat distally. Typically, I never do, treat the groin
area or the breast area or the low back area.
You need to ask for 3 cycles then you can give up on me. Western
meds will ask for YEARS to get them pregnant. Use herbs and
acupuncture IF POSSIBLE.
TUNG PREGNANCY
TUNG PREGNANCY
WOMEN
80-20 rule

What do these point treat? You can think in terms of Chinese
medicine, but Id suggest you speak in Western Language to your

eclampsia, endometriosis, fallopian tube issues, frigidity, habitual

then 3 cun above 88.12, and 3 cun below 88.12
TUNG PREGNANCY
44.10-11-12, Dr. Wei Chi young
A much easier way to find these points.
44.10 flex elbow, go 12 up from crease, or 3 above 44.09, its between bicep
muscles.
TUNG PREGNANCY
Herbally? Do your differentiation OF COURSEbut a nice way to start for 3090 days is the blossom series for women
And men? Give them blood movers and yang tonics. We want more
testosterone and more blood flow. Almost all yang tonics are great for sperm
production, DNA of sperm, motility, morphology, etc.
Morning Sickness
88.01-2-3 Tong Guan, Shan, Tian
88.01 5 cun superior from medial border of patella
88.2-3 is 2 more up and 2 more up
If they have pain? Do what Dr. Tan does, 1-2-3 and treat it. It will probably
come back because, duh, they have the child in them.
11.15 gynecology
11.13 phoenix next
77.12 3 emperors
88.10 3 sisters (I dont like these, they are too high up on the leg) I substitute
3 upper yellows- 88.12-13-14 (Dr. Wei Chi Young)
Those 4 Dao Mas, are used I bet 80-90% of time for over 75 different fertility
issues
TUNG PREGNANCY
MEN
TUNG PREGNANCY
Less than 2% of all men are treated
MEN are responsible for 40% of infertility
HUGE MARKET for any practitioner to expand their practice
90% of all men will come in for pain. You need to be GOOD/GREAT at
treating pain. Once you fix that, then they will almost ALWAYS open up to
you, I have this issue or that issue
TUNG PREGNANCY
Two top things you see in your clinic:
From your TCM point of view
Need to lower stress/increase circulation
Liver qi, move qi move blood
Side note, if you penis isnt working? It means your heart is in
trouble. Canary in the coal mine.
Increase hormones, adrenals/thyroid
Kidney yin and yang, really focus on thyroid and adrenal function
TUNG PREGNANCY
HERBS
Look at Evergreen Vitality, and Vital Essence, Kidney Yang Tonic, Kidney
Yin Tonic, Imperial Tonic, Vibrant, Circulation SJ etc.
Kidney yang/qi/yin all that? The Chinese didnt separate the kidneys
from the adrenal glands. Its the adrenals.
TUNG PREGNANCY
Stress, adrenals, cortisol, desire
6603-4, 1010.22 biyi, 77.18-19-21
77.27
22.08-09 on SI Channel,
Look at Calm ES with Circulation SJ. Calms shen, moves blood. (dont be
scared about Circulation SJj) If you prefer Jia Wei Xiao Yao San, Yi Gan
Jian, Chai Hu Long Gu Mu Li Tang, Ban Xia Hou Pou Tang, etc etc
All these are or should your base, 50% of your formula then modify.
1010.01-5-6-8 stress on the DU channel, with Ear Shen men, Ear pt zero,
An Mian
Very nice head tx for men, when they are stressed about the whole thing
FINAL THOUGHTS
FINAL THOUGHTS
You can add these in with your TCM points if you feel safer
You dont have to listen to me
These point are used 80% on all pregnancy cases (pre/during/post)
Use ANY teacher, as a guide.
These points can be used on woman AND men.
You must WALK THE PATH
Infertility is not easy
YOU MUST LEARN YOUR OWN TRUTH
You will be usually, working in conjunction with other providers
You will need 2-3 cycles before you can make an opinion
Dont just treat the woman, look at the man as well
Thank you!
