Having said that, it does sound like your patient is indeed Kidney deficient causing some disturbance in the yangming meridian, next stop is morning sickness. I suggest using tonifying tonetskyu moxibustion, 5 - 9 cones every other day, perhaps Sp6 but also try Ki.3, GV.3 and ST. 36. Also check out ST.6, 9, 25 and 30, needle if indicated by sensitivity. I hope that helps, please let me know how it goes. Kind Regards and all the best, Alan PS. $10 per month is pretty reasonable for membership of http://www.worldacupuncture.com and helps compensate for the time and effort I put in supporting awesome colleagues such as yourself. If you cannot afford it, no dramas. Lotsa :-) Hi Tash,
