HEXAGRAM 42, LINE 3: BAD TOOTH! I CHING FOR HEALTH

 

Hexagram 42, Increase - I Ching

HEXAGRAM 42, LINE 3: BAD TOOTH! I CHING FOR HEALTH

FULL TRADITIONAL TEXT

The I Ching can be used successfully for health problems. I had a toothache in my lower rear molar. I have been having problems with gum infections for years, so I thought this might be the cause. The dentist, however, found a cavity and duly filled it. I thought that was the end of the matter, but no, the pain returned. The dentist now said it was a gum infection. I tried antibiotics, which only worked while I took them. I cleaned, flossed, and used mouthwash after each meal, but to no avail. Then I had an idea. I had noticed the dentist used saline to clean the teeth, so I thought I would try. I made a batch up and flushed my mouth with it several times a day. This made a noticeable improvement, but it was still not quite good enough. Then I added a little hydrogen peroxide to the solution. This worked very well, and I have had no trouble since.

 Six in the third place means:
        One is enriched through unfortunate events.
        No blame, if you are sincere
        And walk in the middle,
        And report with a seal to the prince.

A time of blessing and enrichment has such powerful effects that even events 
ordinarily unfortunate must turn out to the advantage of those affected by 
them. These persons become free of error, and by acting in harmony with 
truth they gain such inner authority that they exert influence as if sanctioned 
by the letter and seal.

This was not the first time I had this oracle, and so I knew it was worse than it sounds. The first time I had it, things did not work out well at all. HEX 42 LINE 3: BAD BUSINESS

This time, because I had a better idea of what to expect, it worked out pretty much in line with the traditional text. This was a complex situation that needed to be unraveled carefully to get the truth. I had to find the true cause to find the correct solution, and this took several stages. In the end, I found the way. The first time I failed, I did not recognize the problem fully and take steps to deal with it early on before it became serious.
