Moxibustion can have good effects on recovery of damaged bone(s) — another case

Before reading the following article , we would like to state that we do not devalue any known effective therapies or medicines for helping patients’ conditions and rehabilitation. We just try to relay information about a powerful ancient Chinese natural remedy to people who would benefit and may like to try this complimentary therapy.


We have listed a few of our clients’ testimonials regarding their injuries healed with moxibustion self- treatment as outlined on a previous article. This is an additional case.
A lady who is 77 years old had a fracture in her right wrist this Summer. She decided to try the moxibustion self-treatment after the plaster had been removed. There was pain and swelling in her wrist at that time.

Here is a photo taken before the moxibustion self-treatment started.



Within four weeks, the pain in her wrist went away completely. The swelling came down quite a bit. Here is a photo taken at that time.

 

19 days after the second photo taken, the swelling was less again. She went back to see the surgeon at the local hospital on the day she took the photo below. They did x-Ray and physical examination on her wrist. Everything was fine, so the surgeon discharged her. 
The photo below was taken on the day after she had left the hospital. (19 days after the second photo was taken.)


In general, functional recovery for stable fractures without complications can be six months and 1-2 years for complex fractures. Sometimes, even for younger people, some can still experience pain, stiffness, swelling, limited movements in related joints months after a fracture, let alone in a older person. Her wrist was pain free within four weeks after getting the cast off. In fact, she would have recovered even faster if she could have had the moxibustion self-treatment when she had the cast.

According to the cases we have known, moxibustion self- treatment is worth trying when people have bone damage. The faster they can recover from the fractures,  the better for them to go back to their normal life, the less pain they would have to go through. It should be more economical, including time saving, for them too. People would not need to go anywhere and rely on anyone else or any devices for their damaged bone(s) rehabilitation so much as they would normally have to. Like this lady, her GP wanted to see her and thought that she may need to be referred to a physio for some treatment. However, she has been discharged by the surgeon at the hospital before her appointment with her GP!!! 

When people can recover faster from their fractures or any other injuries or operations by having moxibustion home therapy safely, it would save medical resources for the whole society as well!

If any person who is unfortunate to have a fracture or recovering from a fracture and would like to try moxibustion treatment at home as well, if you want to discuss your case with us and get further instructions of how to do the self-treatment, please contact us. 

The earlier you start it, the faster your fracture could heal and the less suffering you would need to experience and the sooner would you enjoy your normal life again!

You are welcome to sharing your story of trying this ancient Chinese magic remedy on this platform. Your successful experience would be helpful for other people who need this therapy in future.

Please note: The ways of doing moxibustion self-treatment with and without having a cast on can be very different. It’s important to consult a practitioner/doctor of traditional Chinese medicine experienced in helping people’s conditions with moxibustion therapy and get proper instruction before starting this home therapy. We are happy to tell anyone who would like to turn to us about the details of how to carry it out. 

WANT A FASTER RECOVERY FROM POST OPERATION? MOXIBUSTION – WORTH TRYING

Moxibustion can be very good to help speed up the healing of post operations, both internally and externally. 

In one of my previous blogs, I mentioned one of the healing effects of moxibustion is: Promoting micro circulation which would disperse bruises and promote the healing of fractures, Wounds, incisions, hematoma, seroma, etc.

Would like to show the two photos from one of our clients who has only had two sessions of moxibustion treatment between 12 and 19 days after the operation, Laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This patient only started his moxibustion treatment 12 days after the operation and only got a chance to do the treatments twice within 7 days. There are bruises left on the patient’s right arm where the needle were kept during the operation. 

1. Photo taken 3 days after the first session of moxibustion treatment, 15 days post operation.

  

2. Photo taken 5 days after the second session of  moxibustion treatment, 21 days post operation.

 
  

The bruise went away quickly after the patient had done moxibustion treatment. When the incisions and bruises on the skin can recover better and faster, the wounds inwards should recover better and faster at the same time as well. It should be really worthwhile trying this natural ancient Chinese therapy so that patients would suffer less overall post operations. 

Different acupuncture points may be involved with this moxibustion healing therapy due to different operations. But, there are some general points can be used for the overall recovery. It would be better to consult a practitioner of TCM who has the  experience with this therapy to design a specific treatment plan for each individual.

Would like to see more people trying this therapy and get benefits post operation. 

Please note: It’s not recommended to apply this treatment near the area where the stents, pace makers,  meshes, artificial joints, or any other artificial devices etc inside your system.

Aijiu - Moxibustion & Skin conditions

Aijiu, known as moxibustion in English, can be good for some skin condiditons.

Here are some reports from our clients.

1. Ring warm 

I contracted ringworm on my right forearm and was advised it would be difficult to cure even with the ointment prescribed. I chose to use moxibustion and instead and ten minutes treatment each day for ten days was all that was required for an effective cure.

2. A wart

 I have used moxa rolls very successfully for many different complaints with inflammatory arthritis, bruising joint injuries and has even cured ringworm. So, when I noticed that I had a wart, I thought why not try it for this too? I treated it several times a week and after a period of about eight weeks, it finally disappeared. So now I call the moxa rolls my magic wand!

3. Thrush

I would like to state that I had excellent results from the moxibustion treatment I received for thrush. It was very effective in treating this condition. I opted to try this treatment following the success and recommendation from a friend who had the same problem.

Thanks to Wei

4. Severe Acne

I have been suffering from severe acne for 20 years. Some of the lumps burst and bleed every now and then. There is puss come out sometimes. They are painful.

One of the lumps in my left hip kept bleeding and I had to wear plasters everyday for two years. The lumps under my armpits bleed every now and then for 5-6 years.

I came to Wei, a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, for some herbal treatments, including moxibustion treatment which Wei suggested me to do at home on daily basis. The bleeding is much improved within 3 weeks so that I do not need to wear plasters everyday.

Would like to continue the treatment to see more improvement.
