How I saved a tree with TCM

I moved into a house in 2013. There were two trees in the yard, about 9 yards apart. When the Spring came, one of the two trees showed buds like all other trees, but not his sister tree which I don’t know the name. I then did more for that one. I loosened the soil, fertilizer, even used a little bit manure from latrine and more watering of course. It didn’t work.

It was almost June and the tree just would not be having buds.  The weird thing about that is everything was the same, environment, species and age.  This tree had even better service. The question was why it would not absorb water like the other one. If it had absorbed water, it would be growing for sure. I invited a few seniors from the village, and they all said it was dead.
I finally wanted to try whether CM theory work for it. I actually had no confidence. I found a heavy casting iron pan and padded all over the tree with it, every branch and all over the trunk. In the end I simply hang it on a bigger broken branch. To be frank I didn’t expect much, only wanted to check whether I was right in diagnosis with CM theory.

To my surprise, a week later, I could see little buds all over the branches. Two weeks later, the tree was showing a vivid life. Big buds covered all the branches; they were not very big though. I then knew I saved a tree with CM theory. I took photos and a brief video before and after the padding. I misplaced it and shall upload when I locate them.
CM theory believes Metal generates Water and Metal restrain Wood. The restraining capability is like a blow to the head to wake it up. Also, the Qi of Metal that passed through the tree made it absorb the water. You put a small spoonful of Cinnamon in your mouth, and you will find what I mean here. You will feel a lot of saliva in your mouth. That is the ancient understanding of the phenomena that Spicy, Metal Qi, create water.

Trees don’t talk and would not understand the saying called placebo. It just reacted to a change of environment. When the environment changes for a right direction, it grew.

Did you know in China TCM doctors use acupuncture to save extinct trees?
