    This document describes abdominal diagnosis techniques in Japanese Meridian Therapy. It outlines various patterns of imbalance that can be identified by feeling the abdomen for tension, resistance, pulsations and temperature changes. Liver deficiency heat is indicated by left subcostal tension and pulsations near the navel, while liver deficiency cold shows coldness in the chest and tense upper abdomen. Spleen deficiency conditions are identified by feelings of fullness, distension, and resistance in specific areas, with locations varying depending on if there is associated heat or cold. Kidney deficiency patterns show deficiencies along the CV line below the navel or whole lower abdomen protrusion in the cold pattern.

    Hari style Hara Diagnosis

    Japanese Meridian Therapy:


    Abdominal diagnosis
    Lecturer: T. Koei Kuwahara Lic. Ac.
    Four type (Hara) constitution
    Ki DX on the upper (Taifuku) Hara
    Ki DX on the lower (Shofuku) Hara
    Liver Deficiency Heat
    Left subcostal tension, Liver[shaku].
    Pulsations:side of the navel up to CV-9
    Irritable and will experience hot flashes in the
    upper body and have a cold lower body.
    Resistance and pressure pain extending from the
    superior aspect of the pubic bone through the
    superior portion of the inguinal area.
    Deficient heat will rise up, causing LU-1 and
    CV-17 to exhibit pressure pain and feel hot to
    the touch.
    Liver Deficiency Cold
    Coldness in the chest
    The whole of the upper abdomen will be tense
    and feel stiff on the surface, but will not show
    any resistance underneath.
    There will be a little resistance and pressure pain
    around ST-25 on both sides of the navel, but not
    enough to be a defining feature in this pattern of
    imbalance.
    Resistance/pressure pain in the ileocecal area.
    Tension in both lateral extremes of the abdomen,
    pressure on the superior portion of the inguinal
    area to the superior aspect of the pubic bone.
    lower abdomen will be soft, weak, and cold.
    Spleen Deficiency ST Ex. Heat
    The entire chest will feel very hot to the touch.
    The whole abdomen will be distended to such a
    degree that it will be difficult to press the
    abdomen in due to the strong resistance. The
    strongest resistance will be felt in the epigastric
    region around CV-14.
    The patient will feel fullness in the chest and
    abdomen.
    The lower abdomen along the CV line will feel
    slightly less resistant in most cases due to a
    deficiency of Kidney fluids caused by heat in
    the Stomach and Intestines.
    Spleen Deficiency ST Def. Heat
    Resistance and pressure pain in the epigastrium,
    centering on CV-12. A serious illness is
    indicated if the area of resistance extends out to
    CV-14.
    Stomach channels on both sides will be tense
    from ST-19 to below ST-25.
    the area around the navel may reveal pressure
    pain upon light pressure
    Pulsations may be felt at CV-9 in some patients.
    If they extend up as far as CV-14 the condition
    will be difficult to cure.
    Pressure pain on the LU-1 points, and from ST-
    25 on the left to the area of the sigmoid colon.
    Spleen Deficiency Cold
    In a severe cold pattern the whole abdomen
    will be depressed and will show absolutely
    no resistance. In extreme cases it is possible
    to feel the internal organs.
    When the cold pattern is relatively light a
    little resistance will be felt in the area
    centering on CV-12. If there happens to be
    phlegm retention at this time, then resistance
    and pressure pain will appear also at CV-14.
    However, the lower abdomen will be soft,
    weak, and cold.
    Spleen Deficiency LR Ex. Heat
    There will be edema (water retention) and
    pressure pain above and below the costal
    arch on both the left and right sides, but
    especially on the right. Below the costal
    arch there will be resistance that may extend
    from LR-14 to the area around CV-14.
    Such a condition is caused by Liver excess
    heat. If there is only resistance and no
    pressure pain, then the Liver excess was
    caused by blood stasis and not by heat.
    Resistance and pressure pain in the
    epigastric region centering on CV-12.
    Inguinal region there will be pressure pain
    Spleen Deficiency LR Ex.
    There is an area of tension like a rod extending from
    ST-19 in the subcostal area down to ST-25 at a
    width of ST-19 to LR-14. No pressure pain, and the
    tension will be mainly on the right side. In the Nan
    Jing is referred to as Lung accumulation.
    Resistance, pain in the area centered on CV-12.
    Resistance, indurations, and pressure pain extending
    from below ST-25 on the left, going under the navel,
    and over to below ST-25 on the right. New blood
    stasis will show signs mainly on the left while
    longstanding blood stasis will show signs extending
    from just below the navel to the area below ST-25
    on the right.
    Lung Deficiency LR Excess
    Subcostal tension on the right side, which
    corresponds to Lung accumulation.
    ST-19 on the right side will reveal
    pressure pain and resistance, which is
    caused by overeating. In patients who
    enjoy raw fish or a diet rich in meat.
    Resistance and pressure pain, the superior
    portion of the inguinal region and the area
    above the pubic bone
    Lower abdominal blood stasis just below
    and to the sides of the navel.
    Resistance and pressure pain in the
    ileocecal area.
    Kidney Deficiency Heat
    CV line will be deficient below the navel due to the
    KD deficiency. ST channel will feel tight on both the
    left and right sides, which is due to the spread of
    deficient-type heat from KD to ST channel .
    CV line below the navel may feel like it has a pencil-
    sized core.
    When heat will increase in the chest. If CV-17 reveals
    pressure pain and the whole chest feels hot to the
    touch, special care needs to be taken since this is a
    precursor to heart disease.
    Ki naturally rises to the upper warmer when there is
    KD deficiency, and so there may be resistance in the
    epigastric region
    Kidney Deficiency Cold
    The whole of the lower abdomen will be
    protruding yet will lack strength. The
    patient will be aware of intestinal
    movements.
    When palpating the abdomen of some
    patients who have very little flesh it may
    feel like their skin is directly attached to
    the internal organs, in which case the skin
    will of course be quite wrinkled.
    The whole abdomen will feel rather cold
    to the touch, which is caused by the lack
    of sufficient heat to create resistance.
