Since you asked, I’ll kick it off …

Been pondering a while what the function of scratching an itch is. It occurred to me that, since itching according to Chinese medicine is a sign of Heat, that scratching may function to release Heat. Then there’s the overdoing aspect, scratching till an itch gets irritated, raw or even bleeds. But excesses tend to be excessive, eh?

How do you see the Itchy Scratchy relationship, Barre?
