Some more comments from recent clients and details of how I went about helping them:
Client with stress and also migraines and pms at period time: "I am feeling much better and feel that I've turned a corner with the migraines and stress management. I virtually have no pms symptoms this month. Thank you for all the help and support with this, it has been amazing and very insightful."
Client with marked shoulder pain for 9 months with no relief from numerous other treatments (comment after his second treatment): "just a quick text to say shoulder feels an awful lot better today. 80% less pain than normal."
Client with sudden hearing loss mentioned in a previous post: "The ear is doing great"
The treatment in all of these cases was heavily informed by Chinese Medicine Pulse Diagnosis, which I have invested a lot of time in learning from Dr Jimmy Chang - one of the most well regarded pulse diagnosis masters worldwide. A correct understanding of the pulse, through how it feels in various points near the wrist, can allow a practitioner to quickly understand dis-harmonies in the client's system and devise a treatment plan to bring balance and a return to health.
The use of moxibustion (moxa) - the burning of mugwort herb near the body in order to allow the correct flow of energy and blood - was crucial in the last two cases.
In the shoulder pain case this helped open up the client's spine (which pulse diagnosis showed was blocked), bringing energy up to his shoulder (in a healthy body energy will travel up the spine and be distributed to different parts of the body). In my opinion the pain was caused because energy and hence blood flow to his shoulder was very poor, leading to weakness and cold getting in to the joint. This meant that his shoulder couldn't manage regular gym sessions and sporting activities and got painful. The use of moxa helped clear the coldness and promote the correct flow of energy and blood to his shoulder.
In the hearing loss case, the client's pulse showed that there was a weakness, and again cold, in his spleen. The use of moxa again opened up his spine and allowed a healthy flow of energy to his spleen producing instant and prolonged improvement in his hearing.
