tingling and muscle spasms

[Guest guest]

I often find gua sha or spooning very effective means of relieving

and /or identifying muscle spasms. This is also a technique you can

do on yourself or have an unqualified person do for you. Just apply

some oil to the area and using something with a smooth edge like a

ceramic Chinese soup spoon stroke across the skin of the affected

area. You don't have to use too much pressure - adjust to comfort of

patient. Often the problem area will become obvious with a

dark 'bruise' emerging - then put a needle into the darkest spots

and usually pain is relieved. Keep warm after treatment.

This should be easy for students to do on each other.

Good luck

Sue
