Alleviating The Symptoms Of HCV Through Acupressure Therapy
A lot of people would love to offer their opinions and insights regarding the way they deal with the sometimes painful and uncomfortable symptoms of Hepatitis C. One very helpful treatment that has been shown to provide meaningful relief is an ancient healing modality called acupressure that relies on direct application of pressure on selected pressure points on the body to generate a desired outcome.
Having been practiced in China more than 5,000 year ago, acupressure was used to stimulate energy and alleviate pain in the body. Soon, medical scientists were able to observe that obstructions in the flow energy in the body were causing illness and pain and, by using certain acupressure procedures, they were able to lessen or completely heal many of the side effects of these conditions.
Acupressure has been shown to work against some of the symptoms of Hepatitis C (as well as side effects caused by conventional interferon therapy). These symptoms include nausea, headache, fatigue nausea and other flu-like symptoms. The most common manifesting symptom of HCV cited is fatigue; acupressure therapy targeting specific pressure points can activate the movement of energy in the body, which lowers the level of fatigue significantly. Besides helping alleviate those symptoms, acupressure also has shown to be effective in the process of detoxification. It also boosts blood circulation and helps in the removal of toxins in the body while stimulating energy flow within the body.
More and more people suffering from Hepatitis C these days are favoring alternative forms of treatment in lieu of conventional pharmaceutical therapies. Acupressure is an alternative type of therapy that has proven to work in relieving the painful and uncomfortable symptoms associated with HCV. It is a very useful form of treatment for those suffering from Hepatitis C, more so for people who are currently into conventional treatment. It requires no tools or equipment and is easy to learn (provided one learns from a qualified practitioner).

Acupressure Treatment To Relieve Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) Pain
If you have symptoms of facial pain, clicking of the lower jaw, and sometimes your jaw join would be locked, even have migraine, these are the symptoms of TMJ. We have certain acupressure points that can gradually relieve those symptoms.
What causes these TMJ symptoms?
One big reason is stress. When you are stressed out, you are not sleeping in a very deep sleep, so you may clench your jaws and this can cause misalignment of the jaw. Also, if you have osteoporosis and are taking Fosamax for your condition, it can cause inflammation of the joint and that can also lead to arthritis.
In Chinese medicine, when you grind your teeth at night, you might have a parasite in your gut. If this is the case, you need to check if you have parasites in your body and use herbs or other medications to treat the parasites. That will stop the tooth grinding while you are asleep. All of these causes can lead to muscle tightness around the joint or a misalignment of the joint.
How can we prevent TMJ?
First, you got to avoid excessive chewing gum or excessive yawning. You also need to reduce your stress with acupuncture or herbal teas. By doing acupuncture in Austin, we can instantly relax the muscles around the temporomandibular joint and one of the points I want to show you is called the Stomach 7 (St 7). If you find the angle of the lower jaw, you need to go straight upwards and then you will be able to feel the indentation at the same level of the lower border of the ear one and a half cun in front of your earlobe.
When you find the indentation, type the press that. That will instantly help relieve the muscle tension. So before you go to sleep, if you press the point for a minute, so when you clench your teeth, you will not experience any type of pain in your jaw. That will help relax the muscles around the jaw joint, so you won’t have the joint misaligned when you’re in a deep sleep.
