What can chinese medicine do about pain?

Acupuncture is designed to reduce pain by stimulating peripheral nerves that send messages to the brain to release endorphins, that block pain and leave you feeling relaxed. It is known to effectively relieve both acute and chronic pain and heal any damaged tissue as well. There are also specific herbs used in Chinese Medicine combined with acupuncture that can improve blood circulation, relieve stagnation, and reduce inflammation present in the body.

Supplements & Clinical research

Blood stagnation and stagnant qi can be leading causes of pain. Herbal ANG is an example of an extra-strength formula recommended in adjunct with other formulas that is safe and effective when relieving severe pain.

Herbal ANG can be very effective when treating both internal and external injuries. The underlying cause of the pain must first be identified however, before treatment so that pain does not continue and further treatment will not be needed. This herb will begin to show effectiveness within 30 minutes and can also be used along with an acupuncture.

More supplements exist to treat pain, however the source and magnitude of pain should be identified first to know which herb will treat best.

Things To Think About

Pain can be inflicted by many things, it is important to pay attention to your daily habits, symptoms, and environment to narrow down what exactly might be causing you pain.

Nutrition

You should eat certain foods depending on how your pain is characterized.

You will need to avoid cold foods if your pain is characterized as cold: raw foods, fruits, and vegetables. The same is when your pain is characterized as warm/hot: avoid spicy foods, peppers, onions, etc.

Certain pain can also be inflamed by greasy foods as well as diary products. So, if you are suffering from long-lasting pain that has not been relieved by previous treatment and you notice that your diet consists of lots of dairy products, greasy food, cold food, or hot food, try limiting consumption of these products and monitor your pain before you make decisions about future treatments.
