pain in the finger

[Guest guest]

Hi evrybody

 

i have one paitient, she is a 77 year old woman, very healthy and

doing intense yoga evry day.

she is suffering from pain in the knuckle of the 4th finger, next to

the acu point HEART-8. there is no heat\cold sensation in the area

and no swelling,and no deformity as well

i treat here with acupuncture but i want to had herbal formula as

well.

 

my friend told me that internal herbal medicine are less good in

situations of pain in the fingers unless there is weakness of

internal

organs that can be connected to the pain in the finger and it will

be

better to use herbs on external way

what do you think?

Hi Avishay,

 

A couple of thought come to mind: first: what is her pattern and

differential diagnosis. Obviously, not being there it is impossible to

ascertain patterns, but the first thing that comes to mind in the case of all

post-menopausal women, is blood xu leading to blood stasis, especially since

there are no heat or cold signs. Second, the " Dui Yao " (pair herbs) Sang Zhi

and Gui Zhi are very effective for finger and arm pain. Interestingly, you'll

notice that they are twigs, look like fingers and complements each other

beautifully. Sang Zhi is acrid and cold, and Gui Zhi is acrid and warm.

Finally, (and again I hate to suggest medicines based on just symptoms, but)

there is a ready made formula in pill form which I have used quite effectively

for pain and wind damp symptoms in the upper extremities including fingers:

Feng Shi Xiao Tong Wan (translation: wind damp lessen pain pill).

 

Hatzlacha and hope I've been helpful,

 

Yehuda

located on a tendon which makes it " tendon BI " .

effectivness of internal herbal mediine in compare to external herbal

medicine when dealing with fingers pain.

Hi Avishay,

 

I think the key is realizing that medicine can't be compartmentalized: The

body needs to be nourished, connected and balanced bioenergetically (via

acupuncture), biomechanically or biostructurally (via tuina or other body work)

and biochemically or bionutritionally via (herbs and foods). Treating with just

one modality limits the body's healing ability. From my experience, there is no

question that the modalities exponentially (I've heard it even said

algorithmically) speed and sustain healing. Furthermore, even if there is no

evidence of blood stasis (purple tongue, choppy pulse) at that age I can't

believe that there isn't some degree of blood xu and for that matter yin xu,

especially with a female. Gently nourish while moving the blood, using the Dui

Yao I mentioned and I'll bet you'll both be pleasantly surprised, BE'H.

 

All the best,

 

Yehuda
