Flashback to Tokyo discussing the treatment principles of “Kyo” (deficiency) and “Jitsu” (excess). My ankles had swollen to giant doughnuts in the damp weather, giving the appearance of excess. However, Taniuchi sensei categorised it as Kyo based on the fact that there was no pain or extreme suffering from the symptom. It’s a spectrum not an absolute but getting it right makes a big difference in how we choose to treat the condition.
