Liver Qi Stagnation and Spleen Deficiency

Yah the points are helping me but i have bought a package of only five treatments and cannot go any further, the good thing about Acupuncture is it is extremely powerful and helpful but it is too expensive in most parts of the world.

I am using your suggested points for acupressure and they are helpful, the one thing, that is probabily associated with spleen deficiency, when i get up in the morning i am very stiff, heavy eyes, tired, drowsy, not really feeling like doing anythig, stiff jaws, but it gets better after 4 ,5 hours but then half of the day is over, can you please guide me with it like, can i do something before going to bad or just after getting up, some kind of massage, some exercise that help me getup fresh and alert.

And tiredness accompanied with heavy face, that is more irritating than anything else, can i do some kind of face massage, i do shaol lin temple massage but it is not that helpful to my facial stiffnenss, or some face points that can help me relax my face. I had a critical head surgery at my early age, my acupuncturist says that stiffness may be the result of that surgery. I can manage it if do some points in the morning or before going to bed that help me relax my face.

I have done with 5 acupuncture treatments now. First three treatments were the same points as i mentioned above then in the 4th session she left li4 and added sp6 and sp3 point and in the last session she used lv3,li4,st36,kd3 and the point in between the eye brows. The overall effects are good, feeling better, i can see my tongues health a lot better.

The problem is i still feel that uncomfortable feeling in the chest that is upper part of the chest she did niddle that area of the chest but the feeling is still there. This feeling does go away by the acupressure, but come back immediately after taking some sweet foods, soft drinks, pizza, fast food (Lots of foods create this problem) . I try to avoid these foods as much i can. How should i manage this, the feeling is like sometimes heaviness, sometimes shakiness in the chest. What i am thinking is, just do acupressure and avoid those foods for 6 months and see how it effects me. Or is there any other way dealing with this. I try to desolve these feelings through imagination and visualization, they go away for a little while and come back again. These feelings can be termed as Depression + Panic and all in the upper chest.

What can i do in a long run to help myself, one thing i can understand is if i go for acupuncutre now, it will be like a hit and try thing and will take too long and i will have to find some more experienced acupunturist then what i have found now who can think above stress and pains.

And one more thing, even chomamile tea created problem for me, after taking one cup daily for 3 4 days i start having these uncomfortable feelings in my chest, uncomfortable feelings around my face like stiffness.

What can i do to make the acupressure effects last longer and avoid such kind of food reactions.

You can look if you want for a cupping therapist , there must be one in Dubai

Hello Zafarcs,

Your chest symptoms, the heaviness after acidic foods, wine and coffee look like the annoying stomach ulcer I had. I had it for years on and off, but I treated it finally with Oil of Oregano to kill the bacteria H. Pylori.

I took 4 drops of oil in a glass of water twice a day for 3 days and it was gone.

I would take yogurt and green powders and FOS after that to recover my intestinal flora. Mastic gum also kills h. Pylori, according to a scientific study published in the Lancet. A man I know had a really bad bleeding ulcer that no antibiotics could help and he cured himself with mastic gum. I would not take antibs - some can mess up your kidneys and are not always helpful with H. Pylori.

P.S. . The sun is very strong in Dubai and if you cover yourself completly to protect from the burning sun, you may be lacking in vitamin D and calcium. Vitamin D is very important beyond calcium -- much research on D is coming out right now about the immune system and D. Spleen is an important part of the immune system.

I wish you best health, regards,

Elena

you have several symptoms, but the main symptom is facial and jaw stiffness, it means you have very slightly wind stroke symptoms, the wind stroke have 2 kinds, one the outside wind, the other is inside wind, the outside wind is easy to treat by acupunture or tuina, the inside wind is your some small blood vessals been blocked, so it need herb formula to sooth your blood circle system, please check your blood and blood pressure first, then we can find it out.

Honestly Elena I never researched the difference between the American and the Egyptian licorice, I simply purchase the Egyptian kind because the supplier I get a discount from only sells this one.

If you start drinking the kombucha tea, a quick advice for you: do it gradually, do not drink more than one cup/day for at least a week - perhaps two weeks when you start out. This tea is strong and the body needs to adjust to it gradually. Even after the one or two weeks it is recommended that you drink no more than two-three cups at the most a day but when you do, your digestion will go through some major changes, mine improved a lot - of course I have been consuming it for about two years now.

Let me know if you have any more questions on this.
