Sinus Relief with Traditional Chinese Medicine

 

Feeling the heaviness of humid weather? For those suffering from sinus, this humidity brings with it the all too familiar symptoms of facial pain, breathing difficulties, head pressure, stuffy noses and foggy thinking. If this is you, feel please don’t despair.


Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can relieve the symptoms of sinus and sinusitis by prescribing treatments of acupuncture, acupressure or Chinese herbs or it can be a combination of all three depending on the diagnosis.

According to TCM theory, sinus is caused by a number of imbalances in the body.  and the task of your TCM practitioner is to discover the source of the discomfort and come up with an individualised plan to treat the disease. To do this your practitioner will consider many things such as the colour of the nasal discharge, the coating of your tongue and the rate of your pulse when diagnosing the cause.

When this is done your practitioner will then prescribe a course of acupuncture (small painless disposable needles which will stimulate points on your temples, nose and forehead). This will enable the sinuses to drain naturally and alleviate the pain associated with the blockage. Acupressure can also be combined with acupuncture if the practitioner needs to stimulate further movement of mucus pressure.

The section below explains how the condition of the liver channel is connected with uterine fibroids.  Your liver regulates the blood in your body – in other words we say in Traditional Chinese Medicine theory that the liver has been given the function of storing blood in the body, regulating blood flow and preventing blood overflow.   I.               Storage of Blood Blood from the liver glorifies and nourishes the body’s meridians (channels which flow through the body) and it also nourishes your fingers/toes nails and eyes. If blood stored in your liver failed to nourish the meridians, it would result in symptoms including numbness, pins and needles, tendon twitch, muscle spasms, and convulse of limbs. Similarly if the eyes do not receive proper nourishment from the liver blood, patients will experience dry, sore eyes or even blurred vision. If your nails do not get enough blood supply, they will be...

Tongue Diagnosis in Care Cure Acupuncture Clinics

When visiting our clinic for a consultation, you will be asked to stick out your tongue so our practitioner can diagnose your condition. This can seem like a very strange request, and you’re usually left to wonder what they saw there. This article helps clarify what your practitioner sees on your tongue by clearly explaining the basics of tongue analysis, and will also show you how you can use that information to make dietary choices to benefit your overall well-being. Basically, your tongue is a reflection of what’s happening inside your body. Natural medicine tries to find balance in your whole body. Along with your pulse and symptom presentation, your tongue is an easily accessible way to find out what your inner landscape looks like, and can help you know what will bring you further into, or out of balance.

Acupuncture and Herbs to treat Sinus Infections Sinusitis  or  sinus infection  is inflammation of the air cavities within the passages of the nose. Tiny holes that connect your nasal passages to your sinuses get blocked. It can be caused by a number of factors including colds and flu viruses, infection, polyps, allergies and irritants. If your sinuses can’t drain properly it causes inflammation and swelling around the nasal area. This can directly affect your breathing, cause pain, irritation, headaches and affect your day to day living. The combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbs is a highly effective way to treat both the symptoms and the root cause of your sinusitis. Our practitioners stimulate the small channels that connect the sinuses to the nasal passages. Stimulating these congestion points increases blood flow to your sinuses and loosens mucus . This allows the mucus to drain into the nose from the sinuses and allows air to flow into the...
