Good morning friends. Today's topic: GERD(gastroesophageal reflex disease) most commonly know for heart burns. I'm surprised that this was a rare case if look back into 80's & 90', half late this has become a common condition amongst all the age groups. I could see children below age 10 suffering from these issues. Before going into the treatment methods let's see what causes this and what are all the issues that create in our day to day lives. In general the cause for this issue is quite simple "life style". Nowadays stress has become a popular word used everywhere. In office there's stress, in travel there's stress, even in schools there's stress and if you really see there's stress in social media too. Our human body reacts to everything that you in this outside world. For an instance, when you are feeling happy your body produces a harmone called dopomine which gives a feel of fond, love & happiness likewise there are plenty of natural body essences & harmones that secret in every emotions that we come across and every in everything that we react to. This serious killer stress produces a harmone called CORTISOL that creates a lot many issues inside us.Thoughis not the only cause for GERD but this plays a vital role indeed. When this terror called as stress combines with imbalanced food practice, sleeplessness, less water intake and many more to say, it triggers this medical condition. It may seem to be common but becomes the root cause for so many diseases to us. Let me give you some useful tips & treatment points to get rid of this culprit. First and foremost avoid lactic intakes in the mornings like coffee/tea (with added milk), secondly never sleep without a meal that is take at least an apple before you go to sleep. And finally take your food 6 times rather taking 3 times a day, ie, break your meal into 6 times instead of taking 3 times. There are reasons for doing this, the acid secretion inside the tummy causes this issue mainly so keep your tummy busy 😀. There are so many things to discuss on this topic but I feel that I don't have to stretch this too far and bore you guys. Take yeast rich food in the mornings, something that can be shared with pleasure only with our mother tongue - namma paarambariya unavu "NEERAGARAM" or pazhaya soru. We all are well known to this amazing food medicine, please have this at least twice in a week to get rid of this deadly GERD. Thanks 🙏

28/11/2019

Dear friends, how many of you know a very common issue called plantar fasciitis... nothing but heel pain. Plantar fasciitis is most commonly caused by repetitive strain injury to the ligament of the sole of the foot. Such strain injury can be from excessive running or walking, inadequate foot gear, and jumping injury from landing or technically by tiny compression at the heel bone on plantar nerve that passes through the heel. A recent systematic review evaluating all clinical trials on acupuncture for plantar fasciitis concluded that acupuncture is an effective treatment for the condition. Simply by applying pressure on some selective pressure points, both in local and distal, a very good relief can be immediately felt by those who are suffering from this issue. I have attached herewith some pictures explaining about the location of those simple pressure points for your reference. Please make use of it. Thanks 🙏

Today's topic: SCIATICA. Nowadays it has become one of the quite common medical conditions amongst us. Many patients I have seen coming with a sciatic nerve compression or with severe shooting pain from the hip joint traveling right through the femor. They always complain that the pain is unbearable and they use to take stomach killing sedatives to temporarily escape from that terrible pain. I would like to bring it to here to discuss on effective treatment methods without any undesirable side effects.

TREATMENT IN TRADITIONAL MEDICAL ACUPUNCTURE AND SCIENCETIFIC HIJAMAH CUPPING THERAPY*

*QI, BOOLD AND BODY FLUIDS*
in the channels often affects the soft tissue of the lumbar, hips, and pelvis. This is what causes the muscle spasm and tension that triggers the intense shooting pain of acute sciatica.

Some common underlying imbalances are kidney qi vacuity, spleen qi vacuity with dampness, and liver qi stagnation. By treating the underlying imbalance, you can prevent the sciatica from returning.

*SPLEEN QI VACUITY*
with Dampness: For those with spleen qi vacuity with dampness, you will also have fatigue and weakness, but the back feels better with rest. Your body may feel very heavy and you may have poor digestion.

*LIVER QI STAGNATION*
Liver qi stagnation causes your muscles to be very tight and in spasm when you become angry or frustrated. Also, you may suffer from frequent headaches and, in women, painful me**es.

*HOW DOES CHINESE MEDICINE TREAT SCIATICA?*

It is best to approach sciatica using combination style treatment. An effective therapy many include acupuncture, Tui Na (Chinese medical massage,) cupping, electric stimulation, and stretching. The back, hip, and pelvis are very interconnected and the treatment should incorporate all of them. Overall, the treatment should relax and stretch the tendons and fascia while strengthening the muscles. This will help release the spastic muscles and strengthen them, allowing the back to naturally heal. It can even encourage an out of place disc to go back into place, depending on severity.

*ACUPUNCTURE AND HIJAMAH* will help to reprogram the muscles to stay relaxed. In effect, this is working to help the body heal itself. Chinese massage, or tui na, works to foster the acupuncture by releasing any extra tension in the fascia and connective tissue around the muscles. The technique called rolling is very important to deeply relax the muscles and improve circulation at the same time.

After the pain is gone, it is important for you to keep up you own back. Stretching is essential. Stretching will help keep the muscles healthy and relaxed. And it is the best way for you to maintain your own back. Also, doing tai chi, the Chinese exercise and meditation, is very effective to strengthen the lower back and relax it.

*ACUPUNCTURE AND HIJAMAH POINTS USED FOR SCIATIC PAIN*

Sciatica is not a medical diagnosis, rather it is a term used to describe the patient’s symptoms that involve a radiating pain, tingling, and numbness along the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve branches from the lower back through buttocks, legs and feet.

The sciatic nerve can get irritated or compressed by various underlying causes, including herniated disc (or bulging disc), spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, piriformis syndrome, spinal tumor or spinal infection.The response to the acupuncture treatment largely depends on the underlying cause of the sciatica.

When acupuncture is deemed applicable to treat this condition, an acupuncturist may determine the type of sciatica based on the patient’s body constitution. In addition, acupuncture needles may be administered specifically to the affected nerve root and its branches.

*SCIATICA ACUPUNCTURE AND HIJAMAH POINTS.*

The sciatic nerve forms as one thick nerve at the inferior border of Piriformis muscle (gluteus region), the specific treatment applied to this area is vitally important for both L5 and S1 impingement cases. However, standard acupuncture points in the region such as BL63 or BL64 are often insufficient to produce a desired effect. Therefore, experienced acupuncturists use one or more extra-acupuncture points, located either superior, inferior, medial, or lateral from the BL63 or BL64.

One to three points are chosen based on pain distributions, point palpation and findings from physical examinations such as deep tendon reflexes and muscle testing.

Other Sciatica Acupuncture Points: L5 Nerve Root Involvement (L4/L5)

BL25: Dachangshu In the lumbar region, at the same level as the inferior border of the spinous process of the fourth lumbar vertebra (L4), 1.5 Bcun lateral to the posterior median line.

BL26: Guanyuanshu In the lumbar region, at the same level as the inferior border of the spinous process of the fifth lumbar vertebra (L5), 1.5 B-cun lateral to the posterior median line.

ST40: Fenglong On the anterolateral aspect of the leg, lateral border of the tibialis anterior muscle, 8 B-cun superior to the prominence of the lateral malleolus.

BL58: Feiyang On the posterolateral aspect of the leg, between the inferior border of the lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscle and the calcaneal tendon, at the same level as 7 Bcun proximal to BL60.

GB35: Yangjiao On the fibular aspect of the leg, posterior to the fibula, 7 B-cun proximal to the prominence of the lateral malleolus.

ST42: Chongyang On the dorsum of the foot, at the joint of the base of the second metatarsal bone and the intermediate cuneiform bone, over the dorsalis pedis artery.

LR3: Taichong On the dorsum of the foot, between the first and second metatarsal bones, in the depression distal to the junction of the bases of the two bones, over the dorsalis pedis artery.

Sciatica Acupuncture Points: S1 Nerve Root Involvement (L5/S1)

BL26: Guanyuanshu In the lumbar region, at the same level as the inferior border of the spinous process of the fifth lumbar vertebra (L5), 1.5 B-cun lateral to the posterior median line.

BL27: Xiaochangshu In the sacral region, at the same level as the first posterior sacral foramen, and 1.5 B-cun lateral to the median sacral crest. Note: At the same level as BL31.

BL31: Shangliao In the sacral region, in the first posterior sacral foramen.

BL59: Fuyang On the posterolateral aspect of the leg, between the fibula and the calcaneal tendon, at the same level as 3 B-cun proximal to BL60.

GB41: Zulinqi On the dorsum of the foot, distal to the junction of the bases of the fourth and fifth metatarsal bones, in the depression lateral fifth extensor digitorum longous tendon.

GB 30 is also very important point for sciatica.
Method of puncture Prependicular 1.5 to 2.5 chun. Moxa is applicable

We add nerve and joint degeneration points of Dr.R.VOLL it's also very effective points for SCIATICA.

Hi friends, today we are gonna talk about diabetes mellitus which has become quite common among those who have crossed their thirties... Nowadays can easily see people taking medication in many forms for diabetes to live their normal lives, though this is not actually a disease/ailment but has been personified as a serious medical condition 🙄. I have given some inputs to you here to understand the cause for this particular medical condition which makes many of our lives into miserable state, though you maybe more aware of it but still thought it could be of mere helpful to you to revive the message. I have seen people around me, in office, in neighbourhood, in my travel and in my own family circle, that people carry a bag of tablets or a pack of medicine in the form of injection/supplements for insulin. I have observed that most of them are little disturbed or a little depressed for being customed to this practice of taking medication throughout the rest of their lives and the money they spend to relieve themselves from this condition, maybe temporarily, to restore their healthy living. Dear friends, there are simple and effective treatment that can show you better results to rejuvenate you back to your normal life. especially in acupuncture/acupressure therapy all you need is a little time and a cozy comfortable place to stay relaxed for while and apply pressure or specially designed needles on some specific points. Believe me that this simple treatment can gradually relieve you from those baggage of medicine that you carry everyday to get a temporary relief. Please checkout the attached file and I have plans to discuss more on this topic with methods and self healing treatment points hoping that it could be of help to all my friends here😊🙏.

*TO KNOW ABOUT LYMPH NODES -*

*HOW CAN YOU DIAGNOSE AND TREAT THROUGH TRADITIONAL MEDICAL ACUPUNCTURE AND SCIENTIFIC HIJAMAH (CUPPING THERAPY).*

Lymph nodes, also known as lymph glands, are oval-shaped masses of tissue in the body that serve an important role in protecting the body from infection and cancer. It plays a very good role on curing of cancer or infection of all types
Everyone has an extensive lymphatic system in their body, which consists of lymph nodes and lymph vessels.

The lymph vessels carry a clear fluid called lymph that is collected from tissues throughout the body. Lymph contains cell wastes like cancer cells, bacteria, and viruses. This fluid then drains into lymph nodes where it's filtered by infection-fighting cells within the lymph nodes. These infection-fighting cells, also called white blood cells, destroy these foreign or "bad" cancer and infection-related cells.

A sign that immune cells within a lymph node are fighting an infection or cancer is when they enlarge or become swollen. This is called lymphadenopathy, or adenopathy for short.
Lymph nodes are scattered throughout the body and located in groups, like in the armpit, groin, neck, pelvis and abdomen. In some areas like the neck, the lymph nodes are located superficially and may be palpated -- they feel like a pea or small bean. In other areas, like the abdomen or the chest, lymph nodes are located deeper and cannot be felt.
Enlarged or swollen lymph nodes can indicate infection, cancer, or another disease that affects the immune system. Most typically, swollen lymph nodes are related to a minor infection that the immune system is fighting. For example, one or more lymph nodes in the neck may become swollen and tender with an ear infection, sore throat, or tooth abscess.

Once the infection has cleared, swollen lymph nodes shrink back to their normal size.

Nodes that are immobile, hard, non-tender, and persistently enlarged are suspicious for cancer and should be evaluated by a physician or by naturopathy followed by Natural, Alternative and complimentary Therapies. If cancer cells are present in a lymph node, they either spread there from the primary tumor — like a breast tumor that spreads to lymph nodes in the armpit — or they originate in the lymph node, and this is called lymphoma. If a person is diagnosed with a solid tumor. whether or not certain lymph nodes are enlarged is an important part of cancer staging, which affects how that cancer is treated.

These type of disorder can be Cure or prevent thru the NAC health System By doing initial Detox and followed by Diet Fasting and primitive tradition Therapy stimulations. This system of medicine cure the process by Body intellectual Curing process , Hence No surgery or medicine need for the curing process, So no side effects.

Treating Pain with Chiropractic and Osteopathic Manipulation and Massage

Do When it comes to treating chronic pain, how you treat it depends on numerous factors, including the condition your pain is associated with as well as your other symptoms. Manipulation and massage are
*2 types of pain management.* techniques that can help you manage your pain.

*Manipulation is a type of* manual therapy, which means a licensed practitioner—a doctor of osteopathy or chiropractor—uses his or her hands or a small tool to manipulate your muscles and other soft tissues. This works out more than just the knots and kinks in your muscles, though—it’s a therapeutic approach to treating your pain.

*The 2 main types of* manipulation—osteopathic and chiropractic—are commonly used to treat.

*HEADACHE*

*LOW BACK PAIN.*

*NECK PAIN.*

*SPORTS INJURIES.*
Similarly, massage therapists use massage to reduce chronic aches and pains associated with a wide variety of conditions where the soft tissues are contributing to the pain.

*The 2 main goals of* manipulation and massage are to relieve pain and improve range of motion to help you increase your daily activities.

These treatments are generally safe and can be very effective. And any mild soreness or discomfort, such as fatigue and dizziness, typically goes away in less than 2 days. Osteopathic and chiropractic manipulation are some of the most popular complementary health practices in the US. In 2012, 8.4% (19.4 million) of adults reported using one of these treatments, according to a report from the National Health Statistics Survey.1

*Osteopathic Manipulation*
Osteopathic manipulation is performed by doctors who apply manual pressure or force to treat certain musculoskeletal disorders and to restore overall health in the body.

*This type of manipulation.*
uses various techniques to specifically address pain associated with your muscles and other soft tissues.

*Counterstrain technique.*
This technique helps improve comfort in certain positions and is good for treating muscles spasms and acute muscle pain.
Muscle energy technique: With the muscle energy technique, you’ll move in a specific position and direction against a counterforce applied by the doctor.
Soft tissue technique: With this approach, your doctor applies stretching, pressure, and traction to the muscles near the spine.
Thrust technique: This technique uses force to restore motion to a joint. The thrust technique is most known for the “cracking” and “popping” sounds your joints make when moved this way.
Although these osteopathic manipulation techniques can help address chronic pain, certain people should avoid osteopathic manipulation: those who have bone cancer or osteoporosis and those who’ve had a spinal fusion, for example.

*Chiropractic Manipulation*
Chiropractic manipulation—also known as spinal manipulation and chiropractic adjustment—is a very common treatment for low back pain and neck pain. It involves realigning the joints and moving them within or beyond their normal range of motion.

*This treatment is also* commonly used to reduce muscle spasms and alleviate pressure on your spinal nerves.

*Chiropractic manipulation involves a couple of key techniques.*

Low-velocity adjustments: This approach applies slow stretching, pulling, or pushing forces.
High-velocity adjustments: With this technique, the chiropractor applies firm pressure and moves the joint through its full range of motion and then delivers a quick manual thrust in a precise direction to increase joint mobility.

*MASSAGE CUPPING THERAPY .*
Message therapy is another popular complementary health practice in the US, where 6.9% (15.4 million) of adults have used massage therapy.

*According to the 2014.*
Massage therapy Consumer Survey Fact Sheet by the American Massage Therapy Association, the primary reason consumers received massage was for medical or health reasons including—pain relief (29%), soreness/stiffness (9%), and recovery from injury (11%).

*There are many massage cupping Therapy*
Techniques available—from Swedish massage to deep tissue massage. However, they each share common benefits.

Improve overall sense of well-being and quality of sleep
Increase blood flow to specific areas of the body
Promote relaxation
Reduce stress, depression, and anxiety
Relieve tense muscles
Manipulation and Massage on a Regular Basis
The number of osteopathic or chiropractic manipulation sessions or massages you need depends on the severity of your pain and other symptoms.

Your doctor, chiropractor, or massage therapist will let you know how many treatment sessions are right for you to help you manage your pain.
You may need to have these treatments on an ongoing basis in order for them to be effective.
