Question Details
First AAHHA Moment
by Augerdvm - February 11, 2010
So I'm nearing the end of the Intro module of the IVAS herb course and am reading your article on Zang Fu Pathology....
I'm at the triple burner Obstruction section and it hits me.....
For years, on a weekly basis, I see ferrets with "Adrenal Associated Endocrinopathy" .... they present with enlarged adrenal glands, splenomegaly (+/- hepatomegaly), hindend weakness ( this is sometimes the first sign), alopecia or genital engorgement, abdominal enlargement, urinary incontinence, increased aggression, in addition to a high percentage that have concommitant insulinoma or lymphoma.... It was like reading a recipe book for Triple Burner obstruction.
I am currently treating these guys from a western perspective ( GnrH antagonist implant) , but was thinking that for the early cases they would benefit from a Bupleurum combination herb.....
Am I on track here ( please don't dim my light lmao). If so which herb combination would you recommend.

Thanks Steve

Hi Steve,

In the absence of a specific need from a western point of view, I always try the formula if it seems otherwise a good fit. The basic formula to go with here is Minor Bupleurum. There are many twists on the formula, but if it's halfway right, there should be halfway results.

I'd go with it and please let us know what happens.

Steve
