Okay, so I believe I may have pinpointed the meridian I am having difficulty/congestion in: Large intestine. I have also two bad teeth, with cavities that have rendered these teeth unsalvageable. A week ago, the dentist removed the decay, and put in cement. He also put me on a round of antibiotics, which I'm strictly against but have decided it would be in my best interest to take and finish the rx. I haven't taken antibiotics in half a decade, whatever. I plan on replenishing my gut with probiotics from different formats, kefir, kombucha, etc. I had to go to the dentist because the nerve pain from the teeth was becoming unbearable and going into my ear, and my throat on the right side is sore, but not like a sore throat from a cold. It is very possible that bacteria drained into my throat and my body is fighting it off. Regardless of the details, the hows and whys, I think all of my symptoms are and have been indicative of congestion in this particular meridian zone. I also have stiffness and mild pain on the right side of my neck. Believe me, once I finish these bastard antibiotics, I'm going to dive into natural options and am considering doing kambo mastes style to clear this zone. I think some e.o. applications for the meantime would be good.
Part of me wants to access the meridian point directly from the neck. I'll let you know how this progresses. Wish me luck on my personal exploration of the meridian zones and points. I feel this is my personal work, to heal this part of my body that has been sending me signals that is needs attention.
I took a look here
http://theamt.com/meridian_chart_and_map_of_meridians_meridian_points_acupoints.htm and found the zone with points exactly where I am having sensations/issues.
If someone has any suggestion for essential oils, I'm all ears. I've got a variety in house, my brother and I collect different ones for different purposes. I'm going to guess anything with antibiotic properties/relaxing will be good in this case.
I do want to invest in one of those acu-check devices, my brother was elated when he heard they exist. My sister was asking if there was any sacrament that could be used to help actually see the meridians. My guess is Kambo might let you see it if you're fortunate; also spirit tryptamine plants would probably be revealing as well. I've heard some blind people can just feel them. Makes sense.
