Effective Traditional Chinese Medicine Remedies for Sciatica Relief - Traditional Chinese Medicine

Sciatica

---

I'm sorry! It has been over ten days since my last inquiry, and I have not seen any relevant responses.
I am unsure if my previous upload was unsuccessful, which may have caused you not to receive my questions.
Therefore, I must ask again.
Thank you for taking the time to respond.
I recently came across an article on a website regarding the treatment of "sciatica," as I am currently suffering from it.
However, I am uncertain about the authenticity of its efficacy (unable to consult the poster), so I hesitate to proceed as described.
If the claims are true, I kindly ask you to answer the following questions as best as you can.
If it is not appropriate to publish on the website, please send the answers directly to my email.
1.
Is there any documentation of the treatment in "Traditional Chinese Medicine case studies"?
2.
Is it harmful to health to apply copper and aluminum coins to the skin?
3.
If copper and aluminum coins are unavailable, can other items (such as magnets) be used as substitutes, or can acupuncture be performed directly? Would acupuncture yield quicker results?
4.
According to the article, is there a time limit for the application? How many hours or at what intervals?
5.
What precautions should be taken during the treatment period?
6.
I have learned that the Shenmai and Houxi points are part of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
If there are other ailments in the body, can the remaining six meridians be treated in a similar manner?
Here is the content of the article: "Without spending a dime, I cured my sciatica in May 1977.
During a demonstration of egg oil production held at the Hsinchu City Community Education Center, Mr.
Wei Xiwen shared health knowledge.
He mentioned that sciatica could be treated without medication through physical therapy.
At that time, I was suffering from this condition.
It is amusing to think that I did not even know what was wrong with me.
Later, I consulted an acupuncturist and learned that I indeed had sciatica.
The pain had already radiated down to my calf, making it difficult to walk or sit without experiencing sharp pain.
I wanted to try acupuncture but was struggling to find the time.
Suddenly, I recalled Mr.
Wei's physical therapy method, which was not time-restricted, so why not give it a try? I then asked Dr.
Zhou for more details.
After a week of treatment, I was surprisingly healed.
In the following days, I experienced mild pain a few times, but each time I tried the method, I was cured.
It has been several years since I last suffered from it.
This is truly an economical and practical self-treatment method.
On one occasion, I went to buy Henan vinegar in front of the Xinfeng train station.
I noticed the shopkeeper, Mrs.
Yang, was moving with difficulty.
Upon inquiry, I learned she had been suffering from sciatica and had developed bone spurs.
She had undergone acupuncture treatment for a long time with no effect.
I then demonstrated the physical therapy method to her.
A few months later, I returned to buy vinegar and asked how her treatment was going.
She replied that she had not tried it, as she did not believe that such a simple and cost-free method could alleviate her pain.
I emphasized that this method was based on my personal healing experience and cost nothing, so why not give it a try? I then provided further explanation of the treatment.
A few months later, when I returned to buy vinegar, Mrs.
Yang greeted me with a smile and told me that the method truly worked; she was completely healed.

As a result, my confidence grew, and I began to promote this "cost-free method that cured my sciatica." Recently, a friend's son asked, "Uncle Yu, can your method really cure sciatica? Our teacher has this condition and has developed bone spurs; we don't know what to do." I shared Mrs.
Yang's healing story as proof and assured him that it could be cured, encouraging him to teach his teacher to give it a try.
Not long after, my friend's son told me, "Uncle Yu, your method really works! Our teacher's condition has completely improved.
Wow! It's truly miraculous!"
Now, I will explain the method: First, prepare a one-dollar copper coin and a ten-cent aluminum coin (circulated from 1944 to 1963) and some adhesive tape.
Place the aluminum coin on the Houxi point, located below the heart line on the palm side.
Place the copper coin on the Shenmai point, located below the outer ankle bone on the foot.
Secure both coins with adhesive tape.
If the pain is on the left side, apply them to the right hand and right foot; if the pain is on the right side, apply them to the left hand and left foot.
The application should last for at least half an hour to several hours, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, until healed.
This method should not interfere with daily activities, such as watching TV during breaks or even while sitting at a desk.
Some people may not have time and can apply it while sleeping, removing it upon waking the next day.
Of course, you must wear socks and gloves to prevent them from falling off.
Patients should try it quickly to see the results.
As I write this, I found Dr.
Zhou's instructions from that year for reference and discovered that the instructions stated: "Place the copper coin on the Houxi point and the aluminum coin on the Shenmai point." This implies that I may have mistakenly swapped the two coins.
However, I inadvertently cured my condition.
This is truly incredible, and I hope Dr.
Zhou and Mr.
Wei can provide further clarification on this matter.
Note: The copper and aluminum coins are placed on different acupoints to create a flow of positive and negative electric currents; reversing them would yield the same effect." (Source: Natural Health)
