Guest guest Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Hi Rebekka, PTSD and the whole spectrum of Heart shock and traumas are becoming epidemic and is considered to be one of the blocks to healing. Dr. Leon Hammer speaks of this block often. Some of the major findings are a rough vibration over the entire pulse and an elevated rate (how high depending on the maturity/strength of the individual and the nature of the trauma). With the obvious nature of this child's trauma I would be expecting these two pathognomonic signs to be prominent. The herbal treatment is essentially to modify Sheng Mai San (using xi yang shen in place of or with ren shen, and other herbs to stabilize the Heart and Kidneys (as trauma also depletes Kidney yang (Kiiko's trauma treatment addresses this with her acupuncture protocol)). In addition to the Sheng Mai San, we concurrently prescribe Yunnan Bai Yao. For a 5 year old, there is a specific dosage range as this is a strong invigorating formula and must be used with care. (if you need the dosages, let me know) I have used these with little kids with car accident traumas, birth trauma, etc. and it is very safe and effective. Hope this helps. Good luck.
