Heating the needle

Hint of edema...hence my decision to try this new technique. Also did just moxa on SP 9

Trying out a new technique whereby you run the moxa s tick up and down the needle to send the heat deep into the meridian.

One teacher said that if there's a strong deficiency in the point/meridian, you can put in a LOT of heat before it feels warm to the patient.

This one didn't seem too deficient since it felt warm pretty quickly.

Because I'm also on Jia Wei Xiao Yao San, my liver stagnation herbs, and SP is helps to spread Liver Qi (and since I haven't worked out in a week, I figured I needed to spread that stagnating Liver Qi).

And since I was using a lot of Kidney points when we learned them and I got all 'watery' and hated it, I didn't want to risk it!
