Vocal folds not fully closing

The situation is illustrated on the image, when vocal folds doesn't fully close at singing
like they normally do:




From the image, the region of the gap has maximum width in the area controlled by energy 
of Dampness, according to the vocal coreds mapping:

The zone of Dampness has points in
6 Qi and Triorigin, already marked by the
corresponding colours which are the same
as for zones, i.e.
--- pink - Burn
--- red - Heat
--- green - Wind
--- yellow - Dampness
--- brown - Dryness
--- blue - Cold





Triorigin points:
--- lower green - Neito
--- red - Hetero
--- blue - Gomo
--- upper green - Neitro


So to tone up the folds in the local area one can try sedation of certain Gomo-point: Dampness,
or Dryness points (Cold control), or them both, and tone up Wind or/andHeat (Burn control), depending on the situation and symptomes.
This gets more simple in Triorigin: 1 Gomo-point for the Gomo-group of energies and 1 Hetero point for Hetero-group; besides, the controlling Neitro and Neito points may be used for sedation/tone up (the most generalized and powerful action) so the scheme is:

Gomo sedate, Hetero tone up, Neitro, Neito control

There can be treatment for the whole vocal folds as well (image with points in earlier post), depending
on the case.

Non-specialists can do moxibustion for the whole zone of Dampness, which will already raise
tonus in the area and may solve the problem without detailed treatment on points.

The same for applying the stimulating "anticancer" remedy described earlier.
