I have a patient currently in the office who has shingles in the neck and head around the GB channel. Pulses are L1 and 3 dropped w/ L2 floating wiry big; R 1 and 3 dropped R2 floating wiry big. Both R and L guans are equal. Seems like DCHT to me, but my notes state that CHGZGJT is standard for this kind of viral issue.

Generally speaking, think CHGZGJT for a herpes flare. If there is slight wiry faint tension pattern, I would go for it knowing it will be shaoyin later. If it truly is all faint and no wiry and/or CHGZGJT has been tried and didn’t work, then I would think GZJHQT for the sores. Maybe plus FZ. If the numbness is more of an issue, then HQGZWWT.

Also, his pain is almost gone. If there was still fluids in the lesions, then it was very difficult to tell visually.

I think that if your CHGZGJT was successful, then you can follow up with GCXXT, especially if the lesions caused any tissue damage.

Wiry bilateral guans is the base pulse for all XXT formulas.
