ACUPUNCTURE & CHINESE HERBS
Gillian Price MBAcC MRCHM
Arthritis, Rheumatism
Many people suffer with the odd joint pain – knees, thumbs,
shoulders, hips etc. Often it can be the site of an old injury or strain
from long term overuse.
Many others suffer greatly from severe pain, stiffness and joint
deformity.
In Chinese Medicine these conditions are called Bi Syndrome.
Bi means, literally, blockage or obstruction.
The theory is that blockages occur in the meridians for various
reasons causing pain and interfering with the nourishment of joints
and muscles.
Often there is an underlying weakness of some aspect of Qi
(energy) which allows the condition to progress.
Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs can be very effective at removing
the blockages, and their causes, thereby reducing pain.
It can also strengthen the body’s defences to slow the progression
of the disorder.
