I think a charley horse could fall into several diagnostic baskets: hyperactivity of the muscle (Ht excess), blood deficiency (SJ excess), over consolidation (Kid excess), dehydrated muscles (LI/Lu/St excess), and a channel imbalance if the cramp follows a particular trajectory.

@toby Toby ...maybe I haven't been listening but I think this is the first time I have heard the understanding or association of blood deficiency as SJ excess.

@turiyahill Hi Turiya, Hope you're doing well. Liv excess = blood excess

@toby And thanks for this as well .....

@toby Hi Toby, does this also imply blood stasis?

@kulsoomkshah Hi Kulsoom, Liver excess does not necessarily lead to blood stasis. Kid excess is the most likely patho-dynamic for blood stasis. T

Thanks 🙂
