Kidney Stones & Chinese Herbs & Acupuncture

Do you suffer from recurrent kidney stones?

If you do, the Stone Formula, formulated by Dr Mok, might be just the formula for you to keep recurrences to a minimum or to help you through an acute bout of kidney stones.

Kidney stones can form when the urine contains too much of certain substances. These substances can create small crystals that become stones.  Kidney stones may not produce symptoms until they begin to move down the tubes (ureters) through which urine empties into the bladder. When this happens, the stones can block the flow of urine out of the kidneys. This causes swelling of the kidney or kidneys, causing pain. The pain is usually severe.

The main symptom of kidney stones is severe pain that starts suddenly and may go away suddenly.  The pain may be felt in the belly area or side of the back.  The pain may move to groin area or testicles.  Other symptoms can include abnormal urine color, blood in the urine, chills, fever, nausea, and/or vomiting. continue reading »

Parkinson’s Disease And Traditional Chinese Medicine

From a western medicine perspective, Parkinson’s Disease is one of a group of motor system disorders that are caused by the loss of dopamine producing brain cells. The general symptoms include tremor, slowed motion (bradykinesia) which makes voluntary movements such as walking difficult, loss of automatic movements such as swinging your arms while you walk, and a “frozen” facial feature many times with unblinking eyes.

Associated conditions such as depression, insomnia, urinary issues, constipation and/or sexual issues may also be seen.  Western treatment focuses on medication, surgery, and/or physical therapy.

From a Chinese medicine perspective, syndromes in which patients suffer from spontaneous shaking, or from other muscular manifestations such as paralysis or tonic spasm, are thought to be the result of yin deficiency of the kidney and liver leading to generation of “internal wind.” continue reading »
