In her book, The I Ching and You, Diana Ffarington Hook writes that asking questions relating to health are always difficult to answer. However she says that it is possible to diagnose correctly and that one should ask, What is Wrong? And then, What is the Cure? She says to look at what body parts the trigram refers to which will give you an idea of where the problem is or where the cure may be effected. The cause and the cure are not necessarily in the same place and that you may get an indication of the problem by studying the position of the moving line(s).
The charts below are useful for questions about health, describing the attributes associated with the lines and trigrams.

This a work in process. Am currently working on hexagram 52.
Hi Adele,
I really love reading your posts. This type of medical treatment is often so quickly discarded and labeled as “hocus pocus”. As with everything in life an open mind is required. I’m a strong believer in what you teach so keep up the excellent work.
Great site by the way and hello from the UK!
Thanks
James
James, thank you for commenting. So glad to see you here.
The Yi seems to encourage drinking , as in hexagram 5 , Hsu .
Is this not detrimental to our health ?
Everything in moderation.
Is that absolutely everything ?
Sometimes you just gotta get drunk
The way you pose your question to the I Ching seems to be vital in the response you receive.When I am frivolous in my questions, I usually get hexagram 4,a real bummer. When I am sincere and genuine in what I’m asking, the Ching yields true nuggets of insights.It plays with you, teases you, challenges you.
I agree. Sometimes friends of family members as me to do an I Ching reading for/with them. A large part of this experience is getting them to focus on the question and be very specific.
