Side effects from Treatment

by @ 4:06 am. Filed under General, Acupuncture, Medicinals & Herbs, Ask a Practitioner, Education

My name is Balu, practising color therapy too along with Acupuncture and flower therapy. I have noticed that from the medicines colours are emiting. Suppose a patient is in need of red, if he is given with sufficient red, he is releived from the disorder/pain. If the patient is given with the white, he receives the deficient colour and the other colors too, which enhances one or two colors more excess. That means he is inviting the other problem what he has not faced earlier. This is called side effects from all medicines not only from allopathy but also from other alternatives. Kindly probe this article and kindly provide me the feed back. In flower therapy the remedies emit one, two or three colours and not white. That is why the remedy selected by dowsing to the patient is more superior to any remedy.

Aura and Acupuncture

by @ 10:30 pm. Filed under General, Acupuncture, Ask a Practitioner

I am a practising acupuncturist cum flower therapist. I have been in this field for the last 3 years. During 2006 I have learnt about positive energy and negative energy in any matter. With the help of Aura Scanner I have seen negative energy in the places of Pain in the body and where the internal organ itself is in disorder. To eliminate the negative energy we are needling the ashi points. After removing the needle the places of pain or disorder do not show any negative energy whereas the needles removed show that they carry the nagative energy. That is why we are advised to use the needle once only. Can anybody tell where is the point to receive the postive energy? In Acupuncture alone the negative energy are removed, in all other therapies the negative energies are controlled. The silent negatives at any time erupt and do harm the persons who had taken the other therapies.

aka Candida Balanitis

by @ 6:35 pm. Filed under General, Ask a Practitioner, Education

Hi there,

Firstly, have loved this site - and now with added blog features is even better. I will definitely add you to my links once my site is up and running….

…But to my case study:
33 yo Male with a very red, inflamed foreskin, no visible discharge, but it is difficult and somewhat uncomfortable to pull back. He says there is occasionally an itchy sensation.

Apparently he is free of STD’s (he had check up 2 years ago and is monogamous).

He does suffer from Spleen weakness generally (Spleen qi xu), and has had chronic back pain since New Years. He is still a bit achy and gets tired so needs to lie flat on his back. That problem was the back muscles around lower sacrolumbar region (not Kidneys, nor spinal - although he does have a history of back complaints). He treated it with two acupuncture sessions, herbs, and massage of thousand flower oil, with application of salonpas patches. His lower abdomen has become more distended - it is not bloated as such, coz its quite flabby - looks like a beer-belly, except he doesn’t drink beer. His diet is very healthy (organics, wholefoods, mainly gluten-free), but the only diference he thought was that his intake of dairy had increased in the last two weeks (drinking glasses of milk, ice cream, cheese…).

There is yellowish coating on the back of his tongue, but not excessive in amount. Rest of the tongue looks normal (for him), but some indication of heat in the Upper Jiao also (red spots on tip of tongue). Teeth marks on side and cracks in middle - but these are always present (his chronic spleen qi issue)

Pulse is quite good. The only thing I could tell was a bit thready, but definitely not wiry.

He’s a little tired, with the back ache and a bit sick of not feeling ‘harmonious’ within himself since he hurt his back New Years Eve (he just got up from a chair and ‘bing!’ he was sore….)

What do people think?
My feeling is Damp-heat in the Lower Jiao. What points could we use to get rid of that inflammation? What herbs? Diet? etc….
