AN A-Z OF DORSAL AND THORACIC PAIN: PALPITATIONS
Palpitations of the heart are, in my experience, most successfully treated by adjusting the upper dorsal spine (between the shoulder blades). Massaging the area is a good start and applying deep heat to relax the area is another. Then an adjustment is required when there is structural stress. It works very well.
Acupuncture is then employed to put chi energy into the pericardial meridian and reduce stress if this is the problem. It may be necessary to reduce excessive energy in the fire meridian.
Support the diet with whatever herbals or homoeopathics are specific to that person, and correct their vitamin/mineral balance. Reducing such stimulants as caffeine (tea, coffee and cola drinks) and nicotine are imperative.
Certain prescribed drugs can also cause palpitations. Check all medication with your doctor; he knows what’s what in drugs. Herbal hawthorn is recommended but see your herbalist.
Ella’s story-My first visit to Leonie was the turning point of my life. After twenty-eight years of poor health suffering palpitations, a misdiagnosis of a diseased gall bladder and an operation that nearly took my life with complications, it was said to be ‘nerves’. Then followed eight years of trying to get myself well again. All I wanted to do was sit in every chair I passed, the weariness was so great. I was told I was lucky to be as well as I was, considering all that had gone wrong. I kept complaining to the doctors that I felt ‘out of balance’.
Her first words to me were just that: ‘You are badly out of balance.’ Instantly I felt a great surge of relief that at last someone understood. After that first acupuncture treatment I instantly had the energy to go home and push a lawnmower around! I thought my husband had at last fixed the wheels! To realise that the improvement was in me and not the machine was miraculous. Now aged sixty, I have spent these past years of good health with plenty of energy, and little need for medical attention. I feel that orthodox medicine and natural healing work side by side quite comfortably.
