Japanese blend for hallucinations in Lewy Bodies Dementia
Created 06-02-2024 by "Student"
I have successfully been using Yokukansankachimpi (7grams daily-4 tablets 3x daily) to treat the hallucinations associated with Lewy Bodies Dementia since the beginning of February. The blend was effective within 2 days first lessening the horror off the hallucinations, then disappearing then or making them benign. After 3 months, the hallucinations are back. Not in their fury, but enough to interrupt REM sleep. i stopped then for 2 weeks and the horrorific hallucinations returned. i...

Eucommia bark
Created 04-20-2024 by "Bea"
Hi! I've recently started taking 1/2 table spoon of eucommia bark. I bought a small jar to improve/prevent any joint and muscle damage because of aging, sports/lack of movement, etc. I'm a woman in my late 30s. I have looked for information about eucommia bark online and I haven't found any negative comments. It also supports the liver. I wonder if taking it for several weeks/months is recommended or if it may be damaging in...

Lung puncture fear
Created 04-19-2024 by "Jenchance44"
I went for an acupuncture treatment yesterday and the acupuncturist forgot to take out a needle in my neck (I believe CV22). Since I felt something in my neck still, I instinctively reached up and touched it, possibly moving it/hitting it when I felt the needle was still in. She then removed it, but now I'm scared that I could have pushed it in deeper when I touched it. Is it possible I could have...

Jaw pain after first acupuncture session
Created 04-14-2024 by "Jleigh812"
I went for my first acupuncture treatment two weeks ago for ear issues/tinnitus. I received electro acupuncture which was painful for me. The acupuncture points used were in/below my ears. Since the session, my ear issues have improved significantly, however since the treatment I have had a clicking/painful jaw and some swollen lymph nodes in my neck/sore throat. Is this a normal response? Could it be that the treatment was too much for my first...

Hello everyone. This is my first post and I’m looking for help! I am working with my daughter to find help for my 16-year-old granddaughter who has an extreme case of panic disorder.

front neck voice muscle <-> rhomboid scapula? (ST 9 <-> UB 45ish)
Created 02-15-2024 by "Boingster"
Hey folks. This morning's qi gong had a long-awaited, seems to me, movement between what I think is ST 9 and UB 45, round thereabouts. I was experiencing a familiar strong 'yin' around ST 9, sat with it (stood, really), and after a while felt a 'yang' of what felt, for about 3/4 of a second, like heat moving out of UB 45, plus or minus 1, a well-known tense muscle attaching to the scapula....

Much appreciated on any help that can be given on this.
