Seizure Relief with Tui Na and Chinese Herbs
Did you know that sometimes just one Tui Na adjustment can provide relief from a lifetime of seizures? Sometimes more, regular Tui Na is required, and properly tailored herbal formulas can support the process.
Two of Dr. Wu’s patients are incredible case studies that demonstrate this:
Barbara suffered immensely from nightly seizures for almost 2 years prior to meeting Dr. Wu. She wanted to avoid prescription medication but the seizures continued. Dr. Wu treated Barbara with Tui Na and when he unblocked C2 on her neck, the Qi was able to flow again and her seizures stopped and have never returned.
Jeffrey is another patient of Dr. Wu’s. He was born with an issue in his C2 vertebra and was on medication for 24 years prior to meeting Rich and Dr. Wu.
Rich treated Jeffrey with Tui Na, specifically focusing on the occipital ridge, C1 and C2, Sky Window, and spinal decompression.
Jeffrey also took an herbal formula called Tian Ma Gou Teng Yin and took this while reducing his medications. This formula brings down the yang energy, since when there is excessive Yang energy going to the head, it can be a cause of seizures. Abalone Shell is one of this formula's main ingredients, and it can extinguish wind and stop tremors. The actions of this formula include:
Calming the Liver
Extinguishing Wind
Clearing Heat
Invigorating the Blood
Tonifying the Liver and Kidneys
Concurrently, Jeffrey practiced a more balanced diet and moved his body more.
Jeffrey no longer experiences any seizures or vertigo!
