Bi Syndrome Impediment (blockage) Blockage of the channels
arising when wind, cold and dampness invade fleshy exterior and the
joints, and manifesting in signs such as joint pain, sinew and bone
pain, and heaviness or numbness in the limbs.
Slide 5
Primary Bi Syndrome Distinction is made between three pattern
types, each of which corresponds to a prevalence of one of three
evils. Wind Bi: characterized by wondering pain, indicating wind is
the dominant evil Cold Bi: associated with acute pain, exacerbated
by cold and relieved by warmth Damp Bi: characterized by heaviness,
stubborn numbness of skin, pain affected by damp weather Impediment
is readily complicated by qi vacuity, and blood vacuity.
Slide 6
Secondary Bi Syndrome Heat Bi: occurs when either heat toxins
pour into joints or when the three evils are contending internally,
characterized by hot red swollen painful, sometimes accompanied by
heat effusion and thirst Blood Bi: results from evil entering the
blood aspect in patients suffering from qi and blood vacuity, often
traceable to sleeping in drafts or sweating from exertion,
characterized by numbness, pain, faint rough pulse that is fine and
tight Qi Bi: pattern brought on by emotional stimulus Qi Vacuity
Bi: arising when vacuity of yang qi allows internal cold-damp to
become exuberant, characterized by inhibited movement, lack of
bodily warmth, some cases of numbness Blood Vacuity Bi: depriving
the limbs of nourishment, sometimes with contracted wind- damp
evil, characterized by numbness of skin, inability to lift limbs,
scallion-stalk pulse

Slide 8
Primary Points for Bi Syndrome Qi Vacuity Treatment: boost qi,
warm yang Acu Points: UB20, UB23, Du4(Ming Men) Blood Vacuity
Treatment: nourish blood, combine as necessary with boosting qi and
dispelling wind Acu Points: SP6, UB17, UB20 Heat Bi Treatment:
clear heat and dispel dampness, diffuse impediment and relieve pain

Prossage (Warming) Prossage Heat is specifically formulated for
deep tissue work, myofascial release and trigger point therapy.
Just put a few drops into the palm of your hand, rub your palms
together and apply to the targeted area - immediate warmth is
followed by lasting results. When you perform deep tissue work on
patients and clients, Prossage Heat makes it easier to spread and
mobilize the skin and fascia. The products proper viscosity and
controlled glide enables you to feel fascial restrictions and
effectively release them, restoring tissue to its normal resting
length, without sliding off the targeted area or causing
discomfort. Its thermal effect warms the area to encourage blood
flow. The result is a deeper, quicker, more efficient therapy.
