If someone came to you complaining of severe irritability, being uncivil and cross which is worse when the get angry and when they are spoken to. Colicky pains in the abdomen and diarrhea from anger. Cheeks get red, especially one cheek. Sensitive to noise. Worse at night, from noise, from coffee. You would think to give cham correct? What if during the interview you discovered the pt drinks four cups of cham tea a day and has done so for the past three yrs. What would you do?

Hi Barb,
I'd advise the patient to stop the cham tea for a while - and observe if the symptoms disappeared on their own first. Otherwise, how would you know if it was the cham that brought it on or not? Hence, if it was the cham - and you didn't removed the maintaining cause - you would then be prescribing on something that is not really a dis-ease.
That was what I thought
