I know that numbness points to damp in this system.
Does itchy point to anything in particular in this system?

Itchiness is an indication for SI+ treatment, with the explanation that the blood moving and slight blood moistening
qualities of SI can help windy conditions.
BUT never forget “Sometimes channel, sometimes quality!
Toby mentioned a case of itchiness along the SI channel that was successfully treated with …K+!
Stay open to all possibilities and see what works. Please keep sharing cases, which we all learn from.

I read a case of Toby’s recently where itchy skin was cc.
Patient presented Kxs (narcissistic, varicosities), skin was dry and damp on the inside(LUxs)
He treated with SI+ and ST+. Itchiness resolves and skin was more moist.
great to hear reinforcement cases.

Thanks for the case Jeffrey. It is really important to consider the level of damp/dry with any surface symptom.

So would itchy eyes fall under the same category as itchy skin?
In the particular case that I am talking about the patient is Sp xs with lots of phlegm, post nasal drip, moderately
overweight, lots of trouble focusing and getting off the couch to accomplish anything, and very itchy and teary
eyes. She also has a heavy and dense body and is does not pay much attention to outside details. BUt she also is
quite thirsty for cold water and has yellow coating in the middle of her tongue.
So even with the large amount of phlegm there are sign of stomach heat which is drying…17/01/2024, 11:51Itchy eyes or skin – Qiological Community

I did a LI + treatment and we will see how that goes. BUt would you still tonify SI for itchy eyes even with its
moistening qualities in this case?

The eyelids and membranes, which are more surface structures, are the itchy parts of itchy eyes. So they are a
specialized area of the skin.
Adina_Kletzel:

Even though SI+ is water+ fire and slightly blood nourishing, the dynamic movement it provides is a very helpful
adjunct move out dampness. SI+ is often used with LI+ and ST+ treatments. Your patient has a level of damp that
could definitely benefit from SI+ movement.

Heat in her Stomach could be coming from stagnation of phlegm and fluids. See how she does with the drying LI+
treatment.
