Spasms due to high humidity

It is always going to be best to work directly with an acupuncturist if at all possible. One of the greatest strengths of Chinese Medicine is to treat each person as an individual rather than treating their specific condition - in other words it is a very flexible and adaptable medicine. Only practitioners, however, know how to best use the incredible range of possible treatment points and methods. If you do get a chance to see someone they will often recommend appropriate home treatments including useful acupressure points which may change over time as your wife improves. There is quite a lot of benefit from acupuncture with regards to MS symptoms. You may also want to read the Tong Ren Therapy for MS page which contains the points that we use, many of these particularly those listed as the "Sky Window" points (on the neck) are important and can be used with acupressure/massage as well as other methods. For a more complete description of why we focus our attention in these areas you could also read my article, "(MS Treatment) Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency and the Sky Window Theory in TCM".

There are two kinds of humidity, one is cold humidity, the other is humidity heat, they can follow the wind get into the skin holes to inside the muscle. human body&#39s temperature is controlled by central nerve system in brain, when cold wind into the skin, human body will higher body temperature, when heat wind into the skin, human body will lower body temperature by sweating, these are automatic active. But it is control by a limited of body control abitity, if the wind is too cold or too heat or too long time to stimulate human body and make body inside envirment too humidity, the muscle will get spasm.

Yes, acupuncture is essentially unlimited in what it can help with. Some people may combine it with Chinese herbal medicine and your traditional western treatments in more chronic/severe cases, but either way when properly applied it can help anyone with nearly any condition. As opposed to western medicine one of the principle differences between Chinese medicine and the west is that the medicine is not symptom based. In other words we do not chase after each individual symptom when treating a person. Instead Chinese Medicine focuses on an overall pattern and when this is chosen and treated correctly any number of symptoms (some the person has perhaps even yet to experience) will resolve.
