Observed Signs & Pattern Match

Each finding mapped to its TCVM significance

✓
Reactive Behavior
Classic Liver Qi Stagnation with Liver Yang rising. In TCVM, irritability, bossiness, and reactivity are hallmark signs of Wood-constitution dogs with this pattern.
→ Phlegm-Fire pattern
✓
Onset at 27 Months
Adult-onset epilepsy is consistent with Excess patterns (Phlegm-Fire) emerging in young adulthood. Earlier onset (under 18 months) would point more toward Kidney Jing Deficiency.
→ Excess pattern (not Jing Deficiency)
✓
Barometric Sensitivity
Weather-triggered seizures strongly suggest Internal Wind — a defining feature of Liver-pattern epilepsy. "Wind" in TCVM is classically aggravated by atmospheric Wind/pressure changes.
→ Liver Wind / Phlegm-Fire
✓
Healthy Coat
Rules out Liver Blood Deficiency as a primary pattern. Blood Deficiency would manifest as dull, dry, brittle coat with dandruff. Theo's healthy coat indicates Blood is still well-nourished.
→ Excludes Blood Deficiency
⚠
Brittle Nails
Without an accompanying dull coat, this likely reflects early/mild Liver Yin involvement rather than Blood Deficiency. Yin nourishes nails and may show signs before coat. Could also be local nail issues or nutrition-related.
→ Watch for emerging Yin Deficiency
PRIMARY PATTERN
Liver Qi Stagnation with Internal Profusion of Phlegm-Fire
High Confidence Match

Theo's profile fits this Excess pattern very strongly. Wood-constitution dogs with reactive behavior, weather-sensitive seizures, and healthy nourishment status (good coat) are the classic presentation. The Chrisman 2015 paper in AJTCVM describes exactly this picture.

Watch for emergence of: Mild Liver Yin Deficiency. The brittle nails are an early signal. Watch for night-time seizure clustering, dry eyes, or warm ears developing over time. Periodic re-assessment with your TCVM vet (every 6–12 months) is recommended.

Confirm With Your TCVM Vet

Tongue and pulse diagnosis is needed to confirm. Check these signs over the next few days and bring observations to your appointment.

📋 Signs that confirm Phlegm-Fire (check what applies)
If 5 or more are checked, the Phlegm-Fire diagnosis is essentially confirmed.
⚠ Signs to watch for (emerging Yin Deficiency)
If 2 or more emerge over time, the pattern may be shifting — book a TCVM re-assessment.

Food Therapy for Phlegm-Fire

Cooling and phlegm-resolving foods to support Theo's pattern

✓
Foods to Add / Favor
  • Cooling proteins: turkey, duck, sardines, deep ocean fish, clams

  • Liver-cooling vegetables: dandelion greens, celery, broccoli, asparagus, spinach, bok choy, Chinese cabbage
  • Cooling fruits: watermelon, banana, lemon (small amounts)
  • Other: tofu, mushrooms, seaweed, alfalfa sprouts, cucumbers
✗
Foods to Avoid / Reduce
  • Warming proteins: lamb, chicken, venison, beef (will aggravate Heat)
  • Phlegm-generating: dairy, fatty foods, processed grains
  • Heating spices: ginger, cinnamon, garlic in large amounts
  • Stimulants: any caffeinated foods, sugar, processed treats
  • Greasy foods: create dampness/phlegm
Questions to Ask Your Vet

Bring this list to your next appointment

  1. Based on tongue and pulse, do you confirm Liver Qi Stagnation with Phlegm-Fire as Theo's primary pattern?
  2. Are there any signs of emerging Yin Deficiency that we should address now?
  3. Should we add LIV-3, GV-14, GB-34, PC-6, and ST-40 to the acupressure protocol given the Phlegm-Fire pattern?
  4. Would you recommend Long Dan Xie Gan + Di Tan Tang per the Chrisman 2015 protocol?
  5. How should we adjust food therapy — any concerns about the cooling foods conflicting with current diet?
  6. What's the appropriate re-assessment interval to watch for pattern shifts? (Typically 6–12 months)
  7. Any concerns about herbal interactions with current medications/supplements?
  8. Should we consider aqua-acupuncture with B-12 as the Chrisman paper describes for additional benefit?

🚨 During an Active Seizure

GV-26 (upper lip midline) and GV-20 (lumbosacral dip) are the two points to apply during a seizure. Press GV-26 firmly with your fingernail. Keep your dog safe from injury first.

KID-1 (plantar hindpaw) can be added simultaneously with GV-26 for synergistic effect — this combination is documented in veterinary literature for emergency resuscitation.

What the Tiers Mean
Tier 1
Primary Seizure Points

The most powerful anti-convulsant points. Used during and immediately after a seizure. GV-20 and GV-26 are the two to reach for first in any emergency. These should be in every session.

Tier 2
Wind-Extinguishing & Neurological Points

Address the root mechanism of seizures in TCVM theory — "internal wind" stirred by Liver imbalance. These calm the nervous system, benefit the brain, and reduce seizure frequency over time.

Tier 3
Shen-Calming Points

Shen means mind or spirit. These points reduce post-ictal anxiety, restlessness, and confusion. Best used after the dog is stable — they help the nervous system settle and recover.

Tier 4
Organ Support Points

Target the underlying organ imbalances that drive epilepsy — Liver, Kidney, and Heart. Selected based on your dog's specific TCVM pattern (e.g. Liver Blood Deficiency vs Kidney Jing Deficiency).

Tier 5
Phlegm, Damp & Channel-Opening Points

Clear phlegm-fire (a key driver in the most common epilepsy pattern), resolve dampness, and open blocked channels. ST-40 is the single most important phlegm point in all of TCVM.

Tier 6
Constitutional Support Points

Build overall Qi, Blood, and vitality between seizure episodes. These strengthen the dog's baseline health and resilience. ST-36 is the master tonification point of the entire body.

Classical
Classical Veterinary Acupoints

Points documented specifically in traditional veterinary medicine — not found in human acupuncture charts. Historically the most cited points for epilepsy in animals. Da-feng-men is the #1 classical seizure point.

These four points come from traditional veterinary medicine — they are not found in standard human acupuncture charts. They are historically documented specifically for neurological and seizure conditions in animals.

Location Details & TCVM Actions ▾
How to Find It
  1. Find GV-20 — the obvious soft dip at the lumbosacral junction (where back meets tail)
  2. Long-hui is either at that SAME dip or one finger-width FORWARD (toward the head)
  3. In some dogs you can feel two distinct dips — one slightly cranial to the other
  4. Press the entire lumbosacral dip and one finger-width cranial to cover both
Think of it as The lumbosacral dip and just above it — treat the whole zone with GV-20
Location Summary
Clinical LocationOn the dorsal midline at the lumbosacral junction; some texts place it at L6–L7 (slightly cranial to GV-20 at L7–S1). Treat both spaces.
What You'll Feel
In some dogs you'll feel two distinct soft dips — L6–L7 (Long-hui) and L7–S1 (GV-20). Both are therapeutic for epilepsy.

Location Details & TCVM Actions ▾
How to Find It
  1. Find GB-20 — the two soft spots on either side of the midline where skull meets neck muscles
  2. An-shen sits in the same general zone as GB-20, either at that same spot or slightly between GB-20 and GV-17/Nao-shu
  3. It is bilateral — one on each side
  4. Gently press the entire soft region at the base of the skull on both sides — you'll cover all of GB-20, An-shen, and the surrounding calming zone
Think of it as The two soft spots at the back of the skull, one on each side — in the neck-skull groove
Location Summary
Clinical LocationBilateral, at or between GB-20 and GV-17/Nao-shu, in the musculature at the occiput. Approximately 1–2 cun lateral to the midline at the occipital base.
What You'll Feel
Soft muscular tissue in a groove between skull and neck muscles. Most dogs respond visibly here — lowering the head, sighing, or leaning into the pressure.

What the Tiers Mean
Tier 1
Primary Seizure Points

The most powerful anti-convulsant points. Used during and immediately after a seizure. GV-20 and GV-26 are the two to reach for first in any emergency. These should be in every session.

Tier 2
Wind-Extinguishing & Neurological Points

Address the root mechanism of seizures in TCVM theory — "internal wind" stirred by Liver imbalance. These calm the nervous system, benefit the brain, and reduce seizure frequency over time.

Tier 3
Shen-Calming Points

Shen means mind or spirit. These points reduce post-ictal anxiety, restlessness, and confusion. Best used after the dog is stable — they help the nervous system settle and recover.

Tier 4
Organ Support Points

Target the underlying organ imbalances that drive epilepsy — Liver, Kidney, and Heart. Selected based on your dog's specific TCVM pattern (e.g. Liver Blood Deficiency vs Kidney Jing Deficiency).

Tier 5
Phlegm, Damp & Channel-Opening Points

Clear phlegm-fire (a key driver in the most common epilepsy pattern), resolve dampness, and open blocked channels. ST-40 is the single most important phlegm point in all of TCVM.

Tier 6
Constitutional Support Points

Build overall Qi, Blood, and vitality between seizure episodes. These strengthen the dog's baseline health and resilience. ST-36 is the master tonification point of the entire body.

Classical
Classical Veterinary Acupoints

Points documented specifically in traditional veterinary medicine — not found in human acupuncture charts. Historically the most cited points for epilepsy in animals. Da-feng-men is the #1 classical seizure point.

In TCVM, idiopathic epilepsy is understood as a manifestation of one of five common underlying patterns. Identifying your dog's pattern guides which acupoints, herbs, and supportive care will be most effective. These patterns can also shift over time — many dogs start with an excess pattern (Phlegm-Fire) and progress to a deficiency pattern as the disease and medications take their toll.

📋 How to Use This Tab

Each pattern below lists the signs to look for in plain language. Match what you observe in your dog (between seizures, during seizures, in their general behavior, energy, and physical features) to identify the most likely pattern. Most dogs show a mix — note which features dominate. Always confirm with your TCVM veterinarian — they will use tongue and pulse diagnosis to refine the identification.

1
Liver Qi Stagnation with Internal Profusion of Phlegm-Fire
The most common acute / excess pattern
Excess Pattern Acute / Active Most Common
Behavior & Triggers
  • Stress-triggered seizures — episodes follow excitement, fear, or emotional upset
  • Irritable, aggressive, or anxious between episodes
  • Easily wound up; reactive to noise, strangers, or other dogs
  • Restless, especially in the evening
Physical Signs
  • Red tongue with yellow greasy coating
  • Wiry or slippery pulse
  • Rattling or noisy breathing; possible chest congestion
  • Excessive salivation during or after seizures
  • Possible vomiting or loose stool with mucus
  • Strong body odor; bad breath
  • Often warm to the touch; seeks cool surfaces
Quick test: Is your dog often "wired"? Do seizures happen after stressful events? Do you see thick saliva, a red tongue, or hot ears? → Likely this pattern.
2
Kidney Jing Deficiency
Congenital / developmental or geriatric pattern
Deficiency Pattern Constitutional
Behavior & Onset
  • Very early onset (under 1 year — suggests congenital tendency) or geriatric onset (older dog declining)
  • Genetic / breed predisposition (epilepsy in parents or siblings)
  • Fearful, low confidence, low vitality
  • Easily exhausted; little stamina
  • Slow to learn; cognitive decline in older dogs
Physical Signs
  • Weakness in the hind end — wobbly, knuckling, dragging back legs
  • Poor bone or teeth quality; small stature for breed
  • Pale or slightly purple tongue
  • Deep, weak pulse, especially at the rear/Kidney position
  • Poor coat quality; sparse fur on the spine
  • Cold-seeking; avoids cold floors, prefers warm spots
  • Premature gray on muzzle in young dogs
Quick test: Did seizures start very young or very old? Is your dog physically weak, especially in the rear? Is there a family history? → Likely this pattern.
3
Liver and Kidney Yin Deficiencies
Combined deficiency — common in middle-aged to older dogs
Deficiency Pattern Chronic With Heat
Behavior & Timing
  • Seizures more frequent at night or in the late afternoon
  • Restless at night; pants without exertion
  • Often middle-aged to older dogs
  • Anxious, mildly hyperactive (not aggressive like Phlegm-Fire)
  • Irritability under heat or in warm weather
Physical Signs
  • Dry coat and skin; reduced shedding
  • Dry eyes; reduced tear production
  • Thin tongue with possible cracks; little or no coating
  • Thin, rapid pulse
  • Warm ears, paws, or belly; seeks cool surfaces
  • Increased thirst with small frequent drinks
  • Constipation with dry hard stool
  • Muscle wasting (especially over hips)
Quick test: Do seizures cluster at night? Is your dog dry (coat, eyes) and warm (ears, paws), with a thin tongue? → Likely this pattern.
4
Liver Blood Deficiency
Milder deficiency pattern — common in fatigue-triggered cases
Deficiency Pattern Milder
Behavior & Triggers
  • Seizures triggered by fatigue or overexertion — after long walks, hard play, hot days
  • Timid; startles easily at sudden noises or movement
  • Poor sleep quality; restless dreams (twitches, vocalizes in sleep)
  • Lower energy overall; tires faster than expected
  • Mild anxiety, especially when separated
Physical Signs
  • Pale gums and pale mucous membranes
  • Dull, dry coat; flaky skin
  • Muscle tremors or twitching between seizures (especially in face, legs)
  • Pale, thin tongue
  • Thin, choppy pulse
  • Possible underlying anemia (low red blood cell count)
  • Dry, brittle nails or whiskers
  • Light-colored stool
Quick test: Are seizures triggered by tiredness? Is your dog timid, pale, dull-coated, and showing twitches? → Likely this pattern.
5
Liver Blood, Liver Yin, and Kidney Yin Deficiencies
The most complex / depleted pattern — chronic, long-standing epilepsy
Deficiency Pattern Chronic Most Complex
Behavior & History
  • Long-standing epilepsy that has progressed over years
  • Combined features of patterns 3 and 4 above
  • Reduced quality of life between episodes
  • Slow recovery after each seizure (longer post-ictal phase)
  • Often on multiple anti-seizure medications already
  • Withdrawal; less interest in play, food, or family
Physical Signs
  • Significant muscle wasting and weight loss
  • Severe dryness — coat, eyes, mouth, mucous membranes
  • Very pale or pale-lavender tongue, no coating, possible deep cracks
  • Very thin, rapid pulse; may feel faint or floating
  • Generalized weakness; difficulty rising
  • Heat signs combined with weakness (burnout pattern)
  • Brittle nails, sparse coat, prominent bones
  • Cognitive decline; disorientation
Quick test: Has your dog had epilepsy for years and now shows signs of both Yin and Blood deficiency, with significant wasting? → Likely this pattern.

Pattern Evolution Over Time

It is common in TCVM theory for a dog's pattern to shift over the course of their epilepsy:

Early
Phlegm-Fire
Excess pattern in young / robust dogs
→
Middle
Liver Blood Deficiency
Frequent seizures + medications begin to deplete Blood
→
Later
Liver + Kidney Yin Deficiency
Heat signs emerge as Yin is consumed
→
Advanced
Combined Blood + Yin
Full systemic depletion in long-standing cases

This means the points and herbs that worked early on may need to evolve as your dog's pattern shifts. Periodic re-assessment with your TCVM vet (every 6–12 months) is recommended.

How to Apply Acupressure at Home

Practical guidance for safe and effective home acupressure sessions

🚨 During an Active Seizure — Do This

1. Keep your dog safe from injury first — clear the area, do not restrain forcefully

2. Press GV-26 (upper lip center groove) firmly with your fingernail — 10 to 30 seconds

3. Add KID-1 (sole of back paw) simultaneously if possible — documented synergistic effect

4. Once stable, apply gentle pressure to GV-20 (lumbosacral dip)

5. Post-seizure: use An-shen (both sides base of skull) to calm the Shen

What Is a "Cun"?

A cun is a body-relative measurement. For your dog, use the width of their 3rd toe (widest part) as roughly 1 cun. It automatically scales to the dog's size — a larger dog has a larger cun.

What to Feel For

A slight dip, softness, or subtle "give" in the tissue. Some dogs twitch a muscle, flicker the skin, turn to look at you, or show a brief behavioral response when you find the right spot.

Pressure Technique

Use gentle but firm circular pressure with your fingertip or thumb. Hold each point for 30–60 seconds. For Da-feng-men (skull-neck gap), use light pressure only — it is a sensitive area.

Good Response Signs

Your dog sighs, yawns, licks their lips, softens their eyes, lowers their head, or relaxes into the pressure. All of these are positive Shen-calming responses.

Session Structure

Work in a calm, quiet environment. A TCVM vet would select 6–10 points per session, not all 27 at once. Focus on Tier 1–2 points as the core, then add pattern-specific points based on your dog's presentation.

Bilateral Points

Points marked "bilateral" (GB-20, BL-17, BL-18, BL-23, BL-15, An-shen) have one on each side of the spine. Apply to both sides — do not skip one side.

Frequency

Between seizures: a gentle session 2–3 times per week. Post-seizure: calming points (An-shen, HT-7, PC-6) once your dog is stable. Never apply vigorous pressure during or immediately after a cluster.

⚠ Important Limits

Acupressure supports but does not replace anti-epileptic medications. Always consult your TCVM veterinarian before starting — they can mark points on your dog and confirm your technique in person.

Da-feng-men Caution

The skull-neck junction point is powerful but sensitive. Use only light to moderate circular pressure here — never heavy or forceful. This is a neurologically significant area.
