Tui Na Therapy

While in China I had the opportunity to do some advanced Tui na training in the Orthopedics’ department at Wangjing TCM Hospital in Beijing. Chinese massage is called Tui na and literally means push and grasp in Chinese.  Tui na is taught in hospitals, medical schools and is widely practiced in Chinese households. As I observed - it is an essential part of China’s primary healthcare.  This is a typical treatment room in Wangjing hospital - not a lot of privacy in a 15x15 room packed with patients, the director (left), assistants, med students and four visiting acupuncturists. Despite the tight quarters patients and doctors happily chatted and visited during the treatment.

Tui na is related to acupuncture in its use of meridian pathways to restore the balance of yin and yang, stimulate qi and blood flow, remove blockages, reduce inflammation and pain. It is useful in treating injuries, joint and muscle problems and internal disorders. In the above photo cervical and lumbar spondalosisare being treated.

An interesting side note: many Chinese tui na practitioners (outside of the hospital setting) are blind, relying on their fingers and senses to guide them. In this picture I had just received a tui na treatment with cupping therapy (the reddish circles) from a blind therapist. It was intense, vigorous and I felt great the next day.

Home Remedies for Tendonitis and BursitisĀ 

1/12/2015

While this article mentions NSAID's and icing - I always recommend  Crane Valley Herbal Liniments for bursitis and tendinitis. 

Whether it’s a painful shoulder, knee or elbow, tendonitis and bursitis are troublesome conditions that can affect just about anyone. The pain can come gradually, building up over time. Or it can feel sudden and severe.

If you feel concerned or unsure about the cause of pain, see your doctor. But in many cases, it’s sensible to give rest and home remedies time to work.

Tendonitis and bursitis are usually caused by repetitive activities. These include gardening, shoveling, painting, or playing tennis or golf.

What’s happening when these conditions strike is a strain to the tendons that connect bone to muscle (tendonitis) or inflammation to the bursa, fluid-filled sacs that reduce friction in the joints (bursitis). Since every joint has a bursa, these two conditions often go hand-in-hand.Read full article here

In the West, acupuncture is still sometimes dismissed — even as more western doctors are incorporating the practice into their treatment plans. Nonetheless, acupuncture is becoming increasingly recognized as an effective treatment for relieving pain, easing stress and even combating insomnia. And in the right hands, acupuncture can also be used to treat a wide array of other symptoms and disorders — as it has been in China and many other countries for centuries.

Herbs are not only great in meals for spice and added flavor but are key to the nutritional density in the foods you eat. Herbs can protect you against diseases, clear toxins from your body, and provide you with vitamins and minerals.

Here are some examples of such, from a list of nine assembled by Planet Green:

Basil

Basil provides Vitamins A, C, and K, along with iron, manganese, magnesium, and potassium. Loaded with flavonoids, basil helps prevent cell damage from radiation and oxygen.

Turmeric Produces 'Remarkable' Recovery in Alzheimer's Patients

11/24/2014

0 Comments

 
Turmeric has been used in India for over 5,000 years, which is likely why still today both rural and urban populations have some of the lowest prevalence rates of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in the world. A recent study on patients with AD found that less than a gram of turmeric daily, taken for three months, resulted in 'remarkable improvements.'
