Pain makes us stop and think about our body. Many pain killers numb and can unsteady a person - "don't operate heavy machinery", have other side effects such as digestive imbalances and more. In Chinese Medicine we treat pain and the person so they stay grounded in their body, mind and spirit with clarity as their stagnation is cleared. Chinese and Ayurvedic herbs that treat pain aim at removing stagnation, bringing nourishment to the area and relaxation. Pain is a signal to stop and pay attention to your body. It can mean different things, from an injury at the area to a referred pain from an organ function problem. It is important to stop the action that led to the pain and seek out treatment that can help you understand where the pain is coming from and what you need to strengthen in your system to help relieve the pain and prevent it from reoccurring. From a repeated strain showing that there is a possible Liver Blood Deficiency leading to weak tendons to muscle weakness showing a possible Spleen Qi Deficiency, Chinese Medicines allow us to fine tune the body as it heals at many different levels. This may include hands on treatments such as Acupuncture or herbal oils to nutrition and lifestyle adjustments. When we heal at multiple levels our mind, body and spirit smile.

Be well.
