The Treatment of Bell’s Palsy with Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs

What is Bell’s Palsy?

Bell's palsy is a peripheral (affecting the peripheral rather than the central nervous system) facial paralysis that results from damage to the seventh cranial nerve, or "facial nerve". Due to paralysis of the facial nerve, symptoms can include inability to lift or close one eye, difficulty moving facial muscles on one side of the face, lacrimation (eye tearing) on the affected side, distortion of taste (especially on the first 2/3 of the tongue) and tingling around the lip area (all on the affected side). The condition has an abrupt onset and is idiopathic in nature (no known cause).

How you can tell if you have Bell's Palsyhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6EYCvxfkHo

Traditional Chinese Medicine's point of view

Bell's Palsy (Zhong Feng) is considered a Wind Attack or External Wind Stroke attack. The main pattern differentiation being a Wind invasion due to emptiness of the Channels (Maclean and Lyttleton 1998). In Chinese Medicine, Wind is said to be the carrier of 1,000 diseases. Wind is thought to take advantage of the deficiency (weakness) a patient is experiencing and enters the body attacking the sinews and vessels in the area of the face. This results in vital energy (Qi) and the blood to stagnate causing the inability of the facial muscles to

relax and therefore contract (Wolfe 2003). The principle of treatment is to expel Wind and promote the movement of Qi and blood by scattering the stagnation. 

Acupuncture for Bell's Palsy

According to Liu (1995), when acupuncture was initiated within three days post onset in 684 cases of facial nerve paralysis, 100 percent of the patients were cured or there was a marked improvement (5). Other studies (Gao, Chen, 1991) revealed that 80% of cases that were treated at more than 2 months post onset, and 83 percent of severe cases, were cured or had excellent effect (6). 

Chinese herbs and Bell's Palsy

The most important herbs for this disorder should include herbs to treat wind attack and anti-viral herbs such as Qin Jiao, Fang Feng, Xi Xin, Bai Shao, Di Long, Fu Ling, Gan Cao, Chuan Xiong, Pu Gong Ying, Dang Gui.

Variations on this formula are important to change as the patient's situation change. We can personalized a Chinese herbs supplement to suit your body type and current condition.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Bell's palsy is a physical and emotionally debilitating condition in which conventional medicine has limited understanding and efficacy. The exposure to external sources (stress, environment) cause the immune system to produce an inflammatory response. This inflammation can then obstruct the normal function of the nerves and vessels resulting in paralysis. Chinese medicine has treated conditions such as Bell's palsy for centuries. Chinese medicine and acupuncture on a regular basis can significantly improve results and help to resolve this condition.

The Countess Gets Acupuncture

On last week’s episode, Real Housewife of New York, Countess Lu Ann De Lessups was treated with acupuncture for her fertility problems. If you follow the show, and I do, you remember that after a painful divorce from her former husband, the Count, Lu Ann found love again in the arms of the raven-haired Jacques, a younger Frenchman. Throw out your old romance novels! Lately, Lu Ann has displayed

The very first time, Alex talked about men sexual health issue

 Many people thought Alex only knows cosmetic acupuncture, they don't know I also treat men issue.

Sometimes, Alex also receive male patients who come for impotence and premature ejaculation. It seem like what a man want is very different from a woman. Man basically want to be energetic at all time. 100 years ago, men have less health problems because they work in the field,more physical activities improve their strength and stamina .

Do you know in 475-221 BC,The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic book (Huang Di Nei Jing, 黃帝內經) mentioned a normal man will lose their sexual ability at 60 onward, that is the time for them to experience impotence. But nowadays, Alex noticed a lots of men have erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation even at the ages of 20 or 30. Alex feels so surprise to see many men actually aging faster than what we think it should be. At most Asian countries, people used to have more children in their family, for example Alex's mum has 7 brothers and sisters and Alex's dad has 6 brothers in their family. Now if you ask around, you will noticed many Infertile couples around us, the major problem is the husband has low sperm count and the wife has irregular menstrual period.

A couple of weeks ago, Alex met a 23 years old young man who unable to develop or maintain an erection. Through our conversation, Alex find out this young man has a habit of masturbation since the ages of 14. People always think it's not a big deal about masturbation issue. But this young man have it daily and sometimes he will have it 5 times a day, and now at the ages of 23, he has impotence. As we know the western health studies tells us that is alright to have as many masturbation as you like as long as you are happy with it and there are no scientific research can prove that "masturbation too much is harmful to our body". In another hand, the Chinese Medicine theory which has at least 2500 years of research on human body, those ancient doctors said that "1 drop of sperm fluid equal to 10 drop of bloods" and they advise a man must know how to control their sexual activity in order to have a longer life span. Only when Alex become one of the Chinese Medicine practitioner, Alex notices the Chinese Medicine theory has it point. 

Apart from the over masturbation issue, Alex wants to point on another factor that make young men suffering from impotence and premature ejaculation is the addiction of porn video. The moment when a man addicted to porn video, he will fall into his own fantasy world that only his porn video collections can boost his sex desires and help to achieve maximum erection. According to a USA psychology research: Porn video could be the main contribution for men to step in the low libido premature aging stage.

The research points out that today's Internet rapid development make people very easy access to pornography, therefore the long-term, over-stimulate the body's neuron chemicals not only raise sex desire rapidly, but also making the Dopamine response becomes dull and that make a man losing interest of having normal sex life or their sexual performance will deteriorate if without the help of pornography. A survey shows that long-term addiction of porn video among young men, will lead them to sexual premature aging stage.Among Alex's patients, those who has pornography addiction will experienced temporary loss of libido, insomnia, irritability, inattention, or having erection problems and premature ejaculation. They might need longer treatment period to recover.

According to Chinese Medicine theory, men's reproductive organ store the most essences in the body. Those essences has a big contribution in regulating the inner organs' function. As we know, human has desires and needs, every thing in a moderation is good for health. Same as sex, the desire and action must be well managed in order to have a healthy body and longer life. Just go to the farm and have a look, if a cow or pig mating every day, their body become weak and possible to die of over exhausted.

Alex's anti-aging research and studies has bring Alex to the men's health topic. In men's health, it is far more complicated to advise men to receive treatment. It could be the mentality or culture that make them believe men  have a strong body, they do not need to listen to their wife or doctor when they have a health condition. Normally we see more women seek for medical help when they are sick, but men usually hide their health problems without letting anyone know. Because of that, men generally have a shorter life span than women.

Of course nowadays, we are glad to see a certain among of men are getting more health conscious. Alex see male patients who ask for Chinese herbs supplement and even tell me about the sexual problem that bothering the love life between their wife. Can you imagine that? How sweet is the husband come and seek for help because of his really concern about their wife.

Let me tell you, a man's body are not as strong as we think. Every man experienced impotence or premature ejaculation in every stages of their life, it just that most of them feel ashamed to talk about it. Therefore, it is not a big deal to discuss your situation with doctor. Alex is here to share with you about the good new that we still have the ancient wisdom of Chinese Medicine for improving men's health. It has a lots of effective herbs formulations that tested for more than thousand of years. Chinese Medicine is a powerful yet effective treatment that treat men's sexual health problem from it root, you will not only treating impotence or premature ejaculation, but I can promise you to welcome a more healthier body. You will feel energetic, have better memory,better concentration, muscles more toned, body fat reduce, better sleep, wrinkles reduce, skin tone better and better digestion.  

Remember, impotence and premature ejaculation are the sign of aging and the messenger of under-lying diseases. Alex will share more with you in the future.

 The dangers of skin pigmentation
Do you know skin pigmentation is not just an "decoration" on your skin
that proved the sign of aging. People will just think it is ok to have
some dark spots on the face or body area, because their grandma also
don't bother about it.

The  UGLY TRUTH  about skin pigmentation ... ...
* Skin pigmentation is the messenger of diseases, it tell a story of unhealthy sign hidden in your body. For example, skin pigmentation patients often have pale complexion, tired look, irritability, loss of appetite, breast swelling, irregular menstruation, and other phenomena.*  Skin pigmentation always accompanied by a variety of complications, such as genital diseases, liver disease, chronic malnutrition. Not to mention, Melasma is a sign of endocrine disorders, will lead to breast tumor, uterine fibroids and other lesions.*  Skin pigmentation caused psychological harm to women. Skin problems give mentally stress to women, it will accompanied by a variety of symptoms inevitably to the women's daily life, work, study adverse effects.

Most skin pigmentation treatments at the market try to treat Melasma or Freckles from the surface of skin, but the cruel new is the more dark spots you have, the more money you'll need to pay. Although Laser treatment claimed to be able to deliver fast result, but we still observed there are many unsuccessful cases hiding under the carpet. People become frustrated because their skin become sensitive and turn worse after Laser treatment.

In Ho Modesty Consultancy, we use Chinese herbs to treat skin pigmentation from its roots. We are not only understand the formation of dark spots, but also understand the theories of breaking dark spots, repair damaged skin cells, restore the elasticity of skin, protect skin from sun damaged, increase immune system, regulate the hormones and activate whitening agent in skin.

A Well Known Therapist Recounts Her Experience With Acupuncture

Well known psychologist Laura S. Brown, wrote about her healing experience with acupuncture in the Psychology of Women Quarterly.

Help For Women With Uterine Fibroids

In my Chicago acupuncture practice I treat many women for various gynecological problems. A common one is uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids are noncancerous tumors of the uterus that often occur during child bearing years. For many women the fibroids are not problematic but for some they can be painful and cause bleeding. I recently came across this article, by Jill Blakeway, M.S., L.A.c.,

The Magnesium Connection

At Jing, we believe supplementation should be just that - a supplement to a healthy diet, not a replacement for poor nutritional planning.  We typically recommend targeted products for specific physical, mental, or lifestyle conditions. Magnesium has long been one of our favorite mineral supplements for inflammatory conditions including pain disorders and cardiovascular conditions, certain sleep and gastrointestinal disorders, and mental health imbalances such as anxiety.

Americans as a whole are deficient in this essential nutrient, largely from decreased amounts in soil content and dietary preference for sweet and starchy foods rather than green leafy vegetables and nuts.  Those of us who are lucky enough to live in "hard water" towns as a result of limestone rock will also receive magnesium from tap water. The NIH provides an excellent reference for ways to get magnesium into your diet: Dietary Supplement Fact Sheet 

Magnesium can be delivered orally, transdermally, and though epson salt soaks. The body will excrete excess, but it is important not to take it at the same time as bisphosphonate (osteoporosis) medications or potassium-sparing diuretics (such as spironolactone or triamterene), and to consult with your primary care provider if you have renal (kidney) impairment.

Here are a few of the Magnesium products we like:

Magnesium Citrate This formulation is naturally derived from limestone and produced by fermentation. This should not be confused with the over-the-counter liquid laxative used before certain surgical or diagnostic procedures!

Cal/Mag with CoFactors This powder is mixed with water and tastes like flat lemon soda. It contains the correct calcium, magnesium, and D ratio to promote correct absorption. We cannot stress enough that the best forms of magnesium and calcium are through diet, and, much as many dermatologists will chastise me for saying this, the best source for the potent anti-oxident Vitamin D is moderate, daily sun exposure.

Magnesium Glycinate this formulation is better for folks who have a tendency to GI upset or loose stools.

To read more about the benefits of magnesium and find more evidenced-based literature, take a look at this article from Acupuncture Today: Achieving Optimal Health Through Transdermal Magnesium Therapy

Pushing the Point: Integrating Acupressure and Chinese Medicine in Psychiatric Nursing Practice

Integrative therapies are all the rage, particularly in psychiatric and mental health settings. It is an honor to be accepted for a pre-conference session at the American Psychiatric Nurses Association's 26th annual conference in Pittsburgh this November. Check out the abstract! 

ABSTRACT: With the rising costs of care, decreased reimbursement for services, and shortage of mental health clinicians, patients and providers are increasingly researching and incorporating integrative therapies as part of a holistic care plan. A review of the literature revealed a growing evidence base for the integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapies with allopathic medicine. This has prompted nursing schools across the country to include education on TCM in their curriculums, encouraged hospitals and clinics to add TCM therapies to their list of psychiatric services, and resulted in development of new protocols for addiction, PTSD, and pain management. Acupressure, a component TCM, is a noninvasive, integrative modality that can help alleviate common symptoms such as stress, anxiety, depression, mental fatigue, and insomnia, while reducing barriers of cost, time, and deleterious medication side effects frequently found in PMH treatment. The session will review basic TCM theory and evidence base, describe the function and energetics of acupoints useful in a variety of Psychiatric/Mental Health settings, and provide a live demonstration of common techniques.

PRESENTATION SUMMARY: Part of the greater system of Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupressure is an effective yet underutilized modality for relieving common psycho-emotional symptoms. In both the inpatient and outpatient setting, TCM principles can be adopted to help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, mental fatigue, and insomnia. This session introduces basic evidenced-based acupressure theory and techniques through discussion and live demonstration.

OBJECTIVE 1: Describe the theory and benefits of using Traditional Oriental Medicine techniques in the psychiatric and mental health setting

OBJECTIVE 2: Identify the functions of ten commonly used acupoints that can be integrated into treatment plans of patients with psychiatric and mental health disorders

OBJECTIVE 3: Discuss methods for integrating TCM modalities with conventional PMH nursing practice.

About Alexander

<< ABOUT ME >>

How are you! I am Alexander Ho. I am a Chinese Medicine physician & acupuncturist .Thank for visiting my blog, Let me introduce myself.

I was born on 24 Dec 1979, Blood type is "O", I like reading very much. My hometown is Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. I graduated from The One Academy with a Diploma in Multimedia Design. Because I have a great interest in health & well-being field, I worked with Fitness First & True Fitness club for 4 years. At the same time, I studied Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture from  KL Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. For about 6 to 7 years of works and studies life, I finally become a Chinese Medicine physician & acupuncturist.

It wasn't easy for me to manage my career while taking Chinese Medicine course at the same time. Although I always busy, but I feel glad for using my time wisely on learning Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. After graduated, I used to work in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah for 1 year. It wasn't easy for me to persuade eldest people to be treated by me, because people in Sabah are more conservative and not easy to trust young physician like me. However, I managed to treat a few infertility patients by acupuncture in Sabah.

It was time for me to left my family again in year end of 2009. I decided to spend another 3 years to take another up grade course in my college. It was a difficult decision to look for a Chinese Medicine job in Kuala Lumpur, not only the paid is much lower than a sale promoter in shopping mall but also not many Chinese Medicine clinics like to hire a young physician like me. At that time, I was upset and I told myself," I never give up even if I have to depend on myself!" I was motivated by my father, he said," It's ok, your life will be meaningful when you really enjoy what you do! The process is much more important than the result!"

The first 2 years, I run a home based SOHO acupuncture office at Subang Jaya. Everyday is a war for me. From unstable income to all kind of problems in managing this small business, the beginning was really difficult, it took me tears and sweats to learn from mistakes. There were difficult time when I ordered too much unnecessary herbs and end up to owe too much money from suppliers, but I still want to thank God for those challenges, because it train me to become better in the future. I am happy to have a few sincere friends and classmates who always help me by giving advices, also patients who keep supporting me.

Now, I have an small acupuncture office in Kelana Jaya. Thank for a few of church brothers and sisters who provided an office for me. We Christians believed God always bless us and Jesus loves to see people helping each others! In order to increase patients' satisfaction, learning the new treatment skills has become my daily routine or you can called it a habit! From continuously learning, I finally discover the secret herbals formulation for combating skin pigmentation and wrinkles, besides that my special impotence and premature ejaculation supplements are very famous among the male clients as well! In this year, it is the harvest time to help more people to restore their health again! In my clinic, there's always something amaze you!

From now onward, I will be hard working, to make sure every patients' health goal will be achieved! I hope when you visit me in my clinic, you can always feel like visiting an old friend! And I hope you can learn more about the important of health from me. Because we all have one life only, therefore live healthier and meaningful.

Again! From now onward, I will continue to write more about myself so far as a Chinese Medicine physician......I hope you enjoy being my friend!

May God bless you!



Sincerely,
Alexander Ho

I invited a few friends of mine to "google" around the Internet and find out more information on how Chinese Medicine can treat skin pigmentation. There are a lot of research and studies in China shown Chinese Medicine really works for all kind of skin problems, including: freckles, Melasma, Ages spots and sun burn marks.
 

Ho Modesty Consultancy offers very reasonable treatment for skin pigmentation, the cost for treating skin pigmentation are much cheaper than beauty salon and plastic surgery clinic. In additional, their products are herbs based and no side effect at all. After detail diagnosis and consultation session, Alex prepared a custom made Chinese Medicine facial mask powder for me to do 1-2 times per week, and also prepared a personalized Chinese Medicine supplement for my skin condition.

After 2 months of treatments

As I mentioned I've tried so many treatment and products, this is not rare for me to tried again, because I am not the first time being "White rat" in the lab. After 1 week, I didn't feel anything on my face, but just felt my skin quite supple. On the second week, my skin tone looked more fair and white. I was starting to be impatience again, I was thinking if I was being fooled again. On the third week, I finally started to see the result. I was amazed and wondering how come my freckles and sun burn spots can become smaller in size and fade out gradually without peeling process? As you know, many skin pigmentation treatments force your skin to peel off in order to see "new born" skin.

For seeing such a little improvement, I was happy enough and I don't think I had been fooled again. I know more result will come very soon if I can wait patiently and continue the treatment!

Almost a month, my skin pigmentation had lighten a lot, my skin become more white. But now I am worried if the result will rebound as before treatment.

2 months later, I was happy to welcome a new face. Although it still have very little spots, but my skin become whiter, more supple and smooth! This could be the most confidence moment for me because I finally become more pretty! Therefore, I recommend you to try Chinese Medicine treatment if you want to get rid of Freckles, uneven skin tones, sun burn spots, ages spots, Melasma etc.I am really happy to put an end to the battle with freckle, but during this treatment period, the bitterness and hopelessness only can understand by my own. No one likes to spend so much money, efforts and time on treatment that not only bring harm but also not delivery result .I hope my testimonial can be very useful to you, I wish you will find a direct path to solve your skin problems. I sincerely hope you can become a beautiful woman like me!

Real testimonial : Discover the power of Chinese Medicine in permanently removed your unwanted Melasma / freckles / age spots!

Mdm Chou       Age : 42Suffering from skin pigmentation (Melasma & Freckles) for 16 years.

"I am 42 years old, my son goes to high school, realizing he is growing up but I am getting old. My face is not only developing a lot of dark spots and the skin tone become darker.I remember when I was young, my skin is delicate and white, everyone praise me for having a pretty face.
But after getting marry, my face began to appear a little bit of freckles, because I was young at that time, I wasn't really particularly about it, I just buy some pigmentation cream to apply at home, I discontinued after seeing minimum result. At the ages of 30 something, I really don't know what happened to my face. Those spots on my face are getting more and more visible, some area of the skin getting darker than before.

Couple years later, I had tired Intense pulsed light therapy (IPL) for 3 session and the result is worst. My skin become very sensitive, not only the pigmentation couldn't remove but the normal skin area aslo starting to grow new dark spots, my skin become terrible and hopeless. I totally regret for what I did to my skin. After that I refused to do anything to my face for several years. Guess what? , but the pigmentation area gradually become darken until I have to cover it by heavy make up powder.

 

I've heard from my friend who has received Chinese Medicine treatment for her skin pigmentation problem. She introduced me to try Chinese Medicine treatment. I was advised by the Chinese Medicine physician to be very patience because Chinese Medicine is unlike Western medicine. The theory of Chinese Medicine is to treat the inner organs as to restore your health back to the optimum level. In the progress of treating Melasma, freckles or age spots, I have to take 1 to 3 months to see the result.
 

After 1 month, my son noticed my face was very different, he asked," Mum, what did you do for your face? Your skin lighten up!" As for my son compliment, I quickly looked at the mirror, I was so happy because majority of my facial spots were faded.
 

And so another month, you can look at the latest photo of mine, I have a whiter and spot-less face now! My husband praises me for becoming beautiful again! Thank to Chinese Medicine treatment that help me to fight against Melasma & Freckles. The treatment is 100% safe and no side effect to your body. This is my testimonial, I hope you can create your own success story!
