How do I know what to ask for

[Guest guest]

Hi Karalyn,

 

Good question. First, let me say that while chronic conditions such as yours

generally have some emotional aspects it is also possible to have physical

aspects that need work on the physical plane whether or not the underlying

issue is emotional or has emotional components. I say that because although

the chakras are clearly involved it is not necessarily true that your

emotional problem is that you have such a large fear of moving forward that

it is the reason you have this problem. From my experience by the time an

autoimmune disease manifests to the level it can be called that there are

several factors which have been in play and regardless of the emotional,

mental and spiritual aspects that are there these people often have

imbalances caused by diet, overwork, stress, lack of sleep, etc., that has

gone on for a long time and which must also be treated. That said I would say

there are generally two main schools of Oriental Medicine known as TCM

(Traditional ) and 5 Element. My suggestion in your case

would be to get the names of people from either friends, the local health

food store or the NCCAOM website and call them and discuss you situation and

ask about there approach to healthcare and unspecific autoimmune diseases. A

good Oriental diagnosis should be very enlightening as to why you have this

particular problem and the combinations of acupuncture and herbal medicine

should definitely help you!!!

 

If you let us know where you are located it may be that someone here can help

you or refer you to a practitioner.

 

Best,

Hello. For a long time I have wanted to get acupuncture for a rare

condition called Erythema Nodosum which is a form of pannicultis.

basically it is an immune deficiency that makes the lymph nodes in my

legs swell up and become quite painful. There is no known cause and I

believe it has something to do with the emotions and somebdoy told me

that in relation to chakras and the legs, it is a fear of moving

forward (which I am not sure about as this does not sound like me).

Anyhow I want to finally get acupuncture but I want to make sure I go

the right kind of practioner. Can anybody help me as far as what to

ask for when I get there, if there are different kinds of theories to

this treatment to enure I go the right person and anything else that

may be of assistance.

 

Thank you

Hi, cause the reason of Erythema Nodosum is complicated. Maybe is infection,

maybe is immune related diseases. Western medicine may give you antibiotic

and hormone. But that has side effects behind it and can't cure the disease.

 

Depend my 28 years integrative medical experience in clinic, I think Chinese

herbal medicine practice for you is stronger than single using acupuncture.

The best way is to use Chinese medical tea, that you need to cook it by

yourself.

 

You can ask your acupuncturist or Chinese herbalist who has license to

practice acupuncture and who has NCCAOM certificate on both acupuncture and

Chinese Herbology, this is a basic requirement.

 

You also need to ask the practitioner who has integrative medical clinical

experience or not. Because if you need to use Western medicine, during you

using medications the Chinese medicine using will be different.

 

You can through the NCCAOM, Yellow page to find one near you, and ask the

practitioner who hold certification, license and integrative medical clinical

experience.

 

Good Luck!

Thank you to those that replied. You have been very helpful. I live

in Australia and there is an area close to me that has many

traditional chinese therapists so I should not have a problem finding

somebody who can help with this treatment.

 

Thanks again
