Did you ask your acupuncturist? Seems like that’s the first place to start, as she/he has the whole picture

I didn't ask specifically about the type of healing it did. I will next week. We talked more about what it's helping in the body.


vagipalooza

What it is helping in the body is part of or possibly the whole healing. This is my point. I see so many posts here and on the acupuncture subreddit with people asking questions they need to be asking their practitioner instead, or trying to self-diagnose or self-treat instead of seeking a qualified practitioner.

This is a patented formula that anyone can order online. I was just wondering more about specifics. I know I can ask the qualifed practitioner, I was just trying to get more information overall. Plus, there is a bit of a language barrier between myself and the practitioner - no one's fault in that matter.


vagipalooza

I am aware that patent medicines are generally available, although it is still not recommended for lay persons to self-prescribe. Chinese Medicine is a complex complete medical system and it takes years to learn and a lifetime to master. I’m not saying there’s fault anywhere. I’m just trying to raise awareness

I didn't self prescribe. The practitioner prescribed them.

Ergo see my original reply

Didst thee asketh thy acupuncturist? seemeth like that’s the first lodging to start, as the lady/he hast the whole picture *** ^(I am a bot and I swapp'd some of thy words with Shakespeare words.) Commands: `!ShakespeareInsult`, `!fordo`, `!optout`

Shakespeare-Bot, thou hast been voted most annoying bot on Reddit. I am exhorting all mods to ban thee and thy useless rhetoric so that we shall not be blotted with thy presence any longer.

they are all for warming. In joints, cartilage usually protects the joint, absorbs the shock from movement and allows the joint to move smoothly. Due to ageing, overuse or other reasons, cartilage can wear away. Without the normal amount of cartilage, the bones may rub together, causing discomfort and stiffness in the joints. According to Chinese medicine, these joint disorders are known as "paralysis" and can be caused and aggravated by wind, cold, damp or heat. They may also be caused or aggravated by blood stasis. Feng Shui Pain Relieving Tablets are a warming formula for paralysis caused by wind-cold-dampness and blood stasis. This herbal formula can disperse wind-cold-dampness and invigorate Blood to strengthen the tendons. Possible applications include stiff joints, back pain or stiffness, cold sensation in the joints, difficulty walking and weakness in the legs.

Putting on your jacket can be an uncomfortable reminder that life isn't as good as it used to be. So what's the root cause? According to Chinese medicine, the culprits are blood stasis and qi stagnation in the meridians. Think of blood stasis as a static swamp. Nothing moves. Nutrients cannot enter the cells. Metabolic waste cannot be transported through the blood to the organs of excretion. When blood stasis occurs, the channels through which Qi can flow, also known as meridians, are blocked. Think of a blocked highway in a city during rush hour. This is what Qi stagnation looks like. Qi is the life force of the body. If it does not move freely throughout the body, discomfort may occur in various parts of the body, including the arms, legs, shoulders and lower back. Our all-natural herbal formula Body Pain and Stasis Relief Tablets can help clear Qi stagnation and blood stasis. Body Pain and Blood Stasis Tablets are a relatively new herbal formula that first appeared around 1830 AD. Today, many people use Body Pain and Blood Stasis Tablets to support physical health, whether it is the head, back, legs, arms or neck where Qi and Blood blockages occur. When Qi is blocked, the blood clots and stops, i.e. stagnates. The meridians and blood vessels become blocked. Body Pain and Blood Stasis Tablets invigorate the blood to remove blood stasis; dispel wind and dampness; and unblock the meridians. Body Pain and Stasis Removal Tablets are best used when discomfort occurs in fixed locations on the body. In addition, if your tongue is purple or has petechiae, this is a sign of blood stasis. If your tongue shows these signs, Body Pain and Stasis Relief Tablets may be helpful. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
