More “C” conditions Classical Chinese Medicine can treat include…
Candida…yeast in the body. Usually a combination of Classical Chinese modalities will help resolve this sometimes stubborn condition. Dietary changes to include the elimination of sugar and gluten along with some other problematic grains, essential oils to help resolve the condition of dampness (which allows the candida to live and thrive), and also acupuncture to support the overall change of internal terrain that needs to occur once candida is present.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome…CTS is a primary reason many people first seek care with an Acupuncturist. I have a special treatment I like to do which often resolves the condition very quickly. Depending on the length of time CTS has been presenting for, there are several approaches to healing this annoying and painful symptom. Of course, lifestyle changes, proper stretching, taking breaks from the computer or stressful job are important too. Lots of people who come for CTS and get great results, often stay on and we work together to address other health concerns they are having.
Cognitive Delays…CCM has a very special sub set of pathways called the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. They work on the deepest energetic level of the body, called the Constitution or the Jing. It is at this level that we can make improvements in the developmental trajectory of young children. Very often there is a blockage and the 8xtras are indicated for this important work. We can work to correct congenital, genetic and developmental issues when tapping into these very sacred and special meridians.
Cold and Flu…Seeing an acupuncturist right at the onset of a cold or flu can stop the symptoms immediately and or lessen the severity and duration of the episode. There are lots of ways to stay well in the cold and flu season but if you do get hit, call right away and start feeling better immediately. We have special techniques to literally pull the pathogenic factor (the bacteria or virus) out of the body, boost your immune system, and get you back on your feet in no time!
If you’re interested in getting started working with any of these conditions or if there’s something else concerning you that I haven’t mentioned yet and you’d like to know more about, please drop me a line….
