TCM& ancestral medicine holistic approach on chronic pain: Discussion on clinic cases
Introduction
: Grenada, WI, woman 50 years old (Mrs. Sheila) She had been treating herself for 22 years in the same hospital she
had been a nurse in before her car accident, in New York. She had 12 surgeries related to the accident in her right arm, for it was
frozen. She couldn’t even comb her hair and had constant pain in her limbs, head and shoulders.Another big issue was her insomnias
as she was under heavy medication for a period of 22 years. She arrived at the clinic carried by 2 male helpers, as she couldn’t walk.
Diagnose
: Having had multiple and frequent surgeries, a blockage was created in her meridian paths followed by rigid and tense
muscle structure, stiffness in the joints, restricted movements, stomach irritation, pulse slim and constipation. Sadness and anger
came with these symptoms. During consultation, the patient informed that she “would ONLY give the Holistic system 3 sessions to
see if they would work, as she was tired of trying and not having visible results”. We together achieved muscular pain relief as well
as we reduced stiffness in the joints and got rid of restrictions in movement; at the 2nd session of Acupuncture she started to have
less pain and even slept during the session 1 Researcher: Dianna Ruas Monday, October 21, 2019 and at the 3rd session of Holistic
treatment she started moving the limbs and walking by herself.
Prescription Method
: Start by balancing the energy of internal organs using Ear Acupuncture (She-Men, Occipital minor, sub-
cortex, kidney, shoulders & her articulations, clavicle, adrenal gland, neck), and Head acupuncture points, followed by deep tissue
massage/chiropractic/shiatsu and hot ginger compress at the back, and Chi Nei Tsang (intestinal) massage. She was prescribed Clay
baths at home and macrobiotic detox diet that included only the consumption of green vegetables, seasonal fruits, sea weed and
whole grain cereal.
Results
: After 2 sessions she started sleeping normally. After 5 sessions she started combing her hair and walking alone on the street
of Grenada, WI. We had 10 sessions and after that she was moving flawlessly and going back to NewYork to meet with her hospital
team and share the experience.
Conclusions
: Frequent surgery created a blockage in her meridian paths caused rigid and tense muscle structure and also stiffness in
the joints and restricted movements; the medications promoted stomach irritation, insomnia, and constipation. The Holistic approach
of Ancestral Medicine has achieved a fast and long lasting result.
Biography
Diana’s tryst with the beauty, spa and holistic world started years ago; when she began to equip herself with knowledge and skills as far
back as the late seventies. Born and brought up in Brazil, she always had an innate sense of her own destiny. This intuitive ability lead her to
develop varied skills in yoga, reflexology, crystal therapy, herb remedies, facial therapy, natural therapy, acupuncture, shiatsu, kinesiology and
the list goes on. She has been associated with important bodies in numerous capacities such as FENAMAM- BRAZIL (National federation of
alternative and natural medicine association), CIAMAM (international confederation of natural and alternative medicine Geneva – Switzerland
and Madrid). Her experience has led her to be a speaker and an educator at various European, Caribbean and Asian spa and health
conferences. She is the world pioneer in the Ruas Deep Tissue technique. Her travels led her to Cambodia where she was the Hospitality
consultant and trainer for the Canadian Embassy at Phnom Penh. She has lent her spa consultancy skills in setting up spas and operations
such as the Bliss spa- Cambodia, Madinat Makadi Serena spa- Egypt and most recently the Crown Spa Resort Hainan- Hainan Island, China.
Her expertise complements Lovina’s and with the same passionate intent, she is thus an integral part of Spa Guide-n-Light, Brazil. Together
they plan on not just conceptualizing and opening spas for their clients, but also aim to devise unique spa therapies for their client ventures.
