Look at these points used in leech therapy for regulating hypertension. Not shown are points behind the ear– the same area acupuncturists use to bring down high blood pressure. The other points are located at bottom of neck and top of shoulders in the back, also around the tail bone.
Spring 2014 I began having leech therapy treatments by Andrew Plucinski of SilesianHolisticCenter in Greenpoint Brooklyn, NYC. Phone 646 460 4212. The treatment protocol began with detox treatments for liver, pancreas, kidney, nervous system, heart and this treatment shown in 2 videos is for brain and emotional health. The treatment can benefit people who suffer from hypertension, migraine, nervous anxiety, depression, poor memory, and mood swings. It involves placing 2 live leeches on the bone behind each ear. The leeches exude saliva containing many beneficial enzymes that thin the blood, kill infection and enhance blood pressure and circulation, reduce pain and release endorphins to enhance mood. https://www.dropbox.com/s/wxv3q7xhf32ku8c/2014-05-01%2015.44.20.mov https://www.dropbox.com/s/igq2oxlqvg8trki/2014-05-01%2015.56.05.mov
Hypertension, gout, low back pain, stones — all sorts of problems develop over time when the kidneys cannot eliminate acids, toxins and medicines. Stress, poor diet, pollution, and overwork all weaken the kidneys. Leech treatment detoxifies the body in order to bring organ functioning up to optimal levels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID0LTKMjphs Andrew Plucinski www.SilesianHolisticCenter.com explains leech treatment for kidneys
JOHNS HOPKINS Advice to avoid Stroke It’s clear that strokes are a major cause of disability and death throughout the world. But many of the prime risk factors for stroke are within your power to change. A large international study published in the Lancet underscored how far prevention efforts could go. Collecting data from stroke patients and healthy individuals in 22 countries, it found that 10 largely modifiable risk factors account for 90 percent of the risk of stroke worldwide. Here are the Big 10:
I love learning about medicinal herbs valued for centuries. Every medical tradition has used nigella sativa (black cumin seeds) from Ayurvedic and Chinese herbalists to the ancient Egyptians and Greeks. I recently found a bottle of the oil in a Lebanese food shop, but you can find it in Indian groceries and online. I take a tsp. of the spicy oil alone or with hot tea an hour before meals once or twice daily. It feels cleansing, healing, strengthening for immunity. The Greeks used it for liver and digestive problems. It improves asthma. Islamic physicians have said it cures everything but death itself. Here is what Sloane Kettering hospital website reports about current anti-cancer research using black cumin seed oil followed here by information on this extremely valuable herbal medicine reported by daydaily.com.
Above is Large Intestine 4 (LI 4) often used for head or tooth pain or in combination with other acupoints for various anti-inflammatory treatments. As early as the 1950s, publications in China reported that acupuncture effectively reduced BP in hypertensive patients. In 1975, it was found that acupuncture produced a significant reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure BP in 24 out of 28 patients with essential hypertension. A number of acupoints are effective in reducing BP, including pericardium 5, 6 (P 5, 6), stomach 36 (ST 36), large intestine 4, 11 (LI 4, 11), bladder 18, 20 (BL 18, 20), and gallbladder 34 (GB 34). ((My comment: Note the location of these points: at he inner wrists, mid-back, down the arms to hands, around the elbows, knees, and ankles bringing inflammation (congested qi) downward. The same principle applies to massage treatments.)) Here is summary of the clinical study recently done at Department of Anesthesiology, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California Los Angeles,CA., and Department of Medicine, University of California in Irvine, CA.
A man has been lost in the Sahara desert for days. His burning skin is parched red, his eyes are swollen nearly shut. His mouth feels cracked and sandy and his throat hurts from thirst. He has tried to cover his head with his shirt.. He tries to drink his sweat but there is none. He sees a mirage in the distance, a green place with a water fall. His head swims. He approaches. There on the baked sand is a bottle of water. He reads the label: “The European Union has banned any claims that water can help prevent dehydration. Drink this at your own risk. Producers of bottled water have been forbidden by law from making health claims and face a two year jail sentence for ignoring the edict.” He throws the bottle of water away and dies of thirst. Critics have claimed the EU was at odds with both science and common sense. Conservative MEP Roger Helmer said: “This is stupidity writ large. The euro is burning, the EU is falling apart and yet here they are: highly-paid, highly-pensioned officials worrying about the obvious qualities of water and trying to deny us the right to say what is patently true.”
WebMD: Oct. 10, 2011 — Millions of Americans with restless legs syndrome (RLS) may have an increased risk for high blood pressure, one of the biggest risk factors for heart disease. In a new study, middle-aged women with the most frequent RLS episodes were 41% more likely to have high blood pressure than women without the disorder, and the prevalence of high blood pressure increased with RLS symptom frequency. The findings strongly suggest that restless legs syndrome increases the risk for high blood pressure, but more research is needed. . .Restless legs syndrome (RLS) may affect 3 – 15% of the general population. It is more common in women than in men, and its frequency increases with age. The disorder affects an estimated 10 – 28% of adults older than age 65. A traditional Chinese herbal approach for restless leg syndrome includes herbs that help reduce cholesterol and improve overall circulation.
WebMD Health News: May 5, 2011 “For those at risk, common activities such as drinking coffee, having sex, or blowing the nose could trigger a stroke, according to new research from the Netherlands”. . . Does that mean that healthy people in the Netherlands are walking around sleepy, horny, and snotty? Fooey! There is a better way to prevent stroke: A heart health diet and Asian herbs that protect blood vessels, lower blood pressure, and reduce stress. People who have an untreated brain aneurysm, resulting from a weakness in the wall of a blood vessel in the brain, are at risk. An aneurysm causes a blood vessel wall to balloon. If it ruptures, it leads to a stroke known as a subarachnoid hemorrhage, which involves bleeding between a membrane that covers the brain and the brain. While 2% of the population has this brain aneurysm, few rupture, according to researcher Monique H.M. Vlak, MD, a neurologist at the University Medical Center in Utrecht, Netherlands. The study is published in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association.
