TREATMENT OF NEURALGIA BY TRADITIONAL MEDICINE

THERAPIES

Neuralgia is a neurological disease,

caused by inflammation, degeneration,
compression, irritation or damage to a
sensitive nerve. These processes are caused
by internal factors (such as inflammatory
processes, tumors, etc.) or external (viral
infections, exposure to cold, etc.). It is
manifested by stabbings of acute pain with
calm intervals during which prevails a
painful sensation and/or burnings. The
episodes of pain stabbings may last from
several seconds to several minutes, for
several days or even for weeks.

Depending on the affected nerve branch and on the innervated areas, there can be
distinguished several forms:

 trigeminal neuralgia or tic doulereux (the most frequent form of neuralgia; the pain
is located on one side of the face, in the lips, toothgums, cheeks, upper eyelids and
upper jaw; it is caused by damage to the trigeminal nerve);

 glossopharyngeal neuralgia (similar to the trigeminal neuralgia; intense

and paroxysmal pain; the pain iradiates from throat or ear to the posterior paryngeal or
amygdalian wall, triggered by the inflammation of the tympanic branch of
the glossopharyngeal nerve; there may be associated cardiac manifestations:
bradycardia, hypotension and syncopes);

 postherpetic neuralgia (triggered by infection with zoster herpetic virus; it is caused

by an incomplete healing of the affected nerve branch);

 occipital neuralgia or Arnold neuralgia (constant pains and painful stabbings in the
occipital area, originating from the back of the ear, with iradiation towards the scalp;
triggered by local inflammatory process);

 intercostal neuralgia (the pain is located in intercostal space);

  sciatic neuralgia (it affects the sciatic nerve; the pains start from the lumbar area and
they iradiate along one or both lower limbs; they become more acute at bending,
sudden movements, elevation, coughing or sneezing)

Treatment

In the first stage of the treatment, we try to alleviate the neuralgic pains in order to
help the patient put his activities back to normal. The therapies involved will stimulate the
secretion of endorphine, a neurotransmitter with strong analgetic properties. The action of the
endorphins in the body is similar to that of morphine or codeine. The alleviation of pain will
relax the activity of the nervous system and will normalize the functions of the organs (the
pain stabbings strain and influence the activity of all the organs in a negative way). The
structure of the affected nerve branch is restored by means of certain herbs with regenerating,
tonifying and revitalising action. The process that caused the alteration of the nerve branch is
arrested; depending on the nature of this process, an appropiate treatment method will be
established. Where the neuralgia occurs as an effect of other disease – as is the case of the
neuralgias caused by the compression of the nerves by tumors – the triggering factors will be
treated.

WHY HUMAN DISEASES OCCUR ? CEREBRAL ATROPHY

The diseases are a result of our life style
and of the stress this puts on the human
body every day. Under this pressure, the
organ most affected by the residue
deposits will collapse by falling ill. Thus,
the direct connection between the brain
and the sick organ is broken. The sick
organ starts working chaotically, as its
activity is no longer coordinated by the
brain properly.
The acupuncture procedures and the
hidroalcoholic herb extracts are used in special
treatment plans that are designed in accordance
with the patient's health condition and the
evolution of the disease from its onset to the
beginning of the treatment. The treatment
schemes are adjusted during the treatment,
depending on the patient's evolution and his
body's reaction to the applied therapies.
The regeneration of the atrophied cerebral area
is possible when the brain tissue is partially
affected by the degenerative process. In this
particular situation, the degenerated areas are
dysfunctional, but to an extent that allows the
restoration of the vascularisation and the
recovery of the optimum oxygenation level.
The treatment procedures also restore the local
metabolic functions.
