Jean:

 

(1) One way to treat sensitive scars uses a variant of " circling the dragon " ,

called " bridging the scar " . It uses needles, inserted subcutaneously in non-

scarred areas 2-5mm outside the edge of the scar, to under-run the scar

from several directions.

 

(2) Another very successful way is to locate the most sensitive areas within

the scar (using probe / match-stick pressure or VAS Pulse) and inject

intradermally with a dental syringe & needle 0.1ml Impletol (a procaine-

caffeine product, now off the market - see http://tinyurl.com/36msb8 ). As an

alternative, you can use any local anaesthetic, diluted down to 0.25-0.5%.

This is a form of Neural Therapy [ http://tinyurl.com/3274p5 ] and usually is

very successful.

 

Follow up Neural Therapy with 2-4 sessions of massage of the scar AND of

the Qi Channels involved. For example, for a sensitive scar on BL channel,

massage the three channels SI-BL-KI (SI upstream and KI downstream on

the Qi Circulation Pathway).

 

(3) I have used Low Level Laser on the SENSITIVE areas of scars with good

results.

I have not used creams for problematic scars, but the Ingredients in

" Scargo " or " ScarBan " Scar Massage Lotion (developed by Edgar Cayce)

include Camphor, Olive Oil, Peanut Oil, Lanolin, Yellow Beeswax.

 

Variants include other oils, such as castor oil / Cod Liver OIl plus herbs or

essential oils to Move Blood Stasis (Ruxiang-Olibanum, Moyao-Myrrha,

Sanleng-Sparganium, Danshen-Salvia, Ezhu-Zedoary, Jixuecao -Centella,

Sanqi-Notoginseng, Yujin-Curcuma, etc) + / - some DMSO.

 

Best regards,
