Stimulating Healing Through Injury

The procedure called prolotherapy is, perhaps, one of the most unique of all types of healing methods. In most cases, adding any type of injury or irritation to a wound or injury will worsen the condition. In this type of therapy, the goal is to stimulate healing by introducing irritation or further injury to the area. The treatment encourages the body’s natural immune system to work at repairing the injury, presumably faster than what is occurring currently.

How It Works

Modern uses of this procedure focus specifically on the use of a irritation solution. Although in the past, the Romans inserted hot needles into the body in areas that were specifically vulnerable to encourage healing, prolotherapy has evolved. Rather, practitioners will add a sugar solution to the affected area using a needle. This solution helps to heal the ligaments and tendons in the area. Once the solution is in place, it will irritate and cause inflammation in the area. This encourages the body to increase blood flow to the area, and with the blood flow come nutrients to help speed the recovery of the injury.

The process of using prolotherapy can take time. Most practitioners recommend at least four to six treatments to see results. In some cases, it can take more than that. The key is to give the body time to tackle the underlying problem to get the results you are after. This particular therapy is dependent on the body’s ability and willingness to heal itself.

Should You Use It?

For many types of injuries to the tendons and ligaments, this procedure can be helpful. The first step is to find a qualified practitioner with the experience to administer prolotherapy. Doing that and being patient enough to allow the treatments to work may help you to get the results and healing that you want to have. Chronic pain alleviation is possible, experts say.

The Lower Dan Tien

The lower dan tien is a part of your body which relates to fire, to the Earth and to the energy which your parents gave you. It concerns the bottom three chakras primarily, and is often used in Tai Chi as a means of treating certain bodily ailments. One thing which you have to remember with the lower dan tien, however, is that it must be kept in balance with the upper dan tien, or you will become too Earthbound. While this is a very practical state, it is to be avoided when you can, as it can lead to a lot of unnecessary limitations in your life. Of course, your lower dan tien should never be ignored, for the same reason.

Keeping your lower dan tien healthy nourishes your bodily systems such as your liver, kidneys and intestines. While it is not polite to talk about your “inner flow” as it were, these less photogenic processes are essential to keeping you alive and healthy. All the meditation in the world will not stave off the pain, if your health is truly suffering. And as well, being grounded to the Earth (as only the lower dan tien can) and your family’s heritage will also keep you humble, and allow you to grow outward from the roots which your parents have so generously supplied you with.

But at the same time, it is always necessary to keep balance in mind. We will talk about the upper dan tien in another article, but for now let it be known that one can not live a life properly if one is only grounded. While it has been said that he who has imagination but not learning has wings but not feet, wings are just as necessary if you wish to see above the tiny rocks which trip up the foolish. You must have both the ability to stand firm and to soar above, to be your very best.

The Power of Qui

Image via Wikipedia

If you have ever studied Eastern medicine, you have most likely heard a lot of things about qui, which is also sometimes called chi. Qui is the life energy which allows us to experience, to move around with free will, and to continue onward as both physical and spiritual beings in this world. Without qui, no living thing would be alive at all. And when your qui begins to lower with age or with illness, your body becomes more frail and weak, and your ability to heal and to ward off illnesses also diminishes. Truly qui is what allows us to do everything else that we do in this world. So how do you cultivate your qui to be as strong as it possibly can be?

Unfortunately, the amount of qui you have when you are born is the ultimate amount that you are going to have as you go throughout life. While your storage of qui in both your upper and lower dan tien can be strengthened and cleared up, so that the energy flows more easily, ultimately adding more qui to you is questionable on its best day. While some martial artists insist that we all draw energy out of our environments, none have ever been able to become immortal through the constant exchange of life energy. When such a thing happens, that would be truly impressive.

However, for those of us who do not want to invest the time which would undoubtedly be needed in order to cultivate an immortal’s endless stockpile of qui for a rainy day, the best we can do is to practice tai chi, so that we can make the qui which we do have work as well for us as we possibly can. After all, what good is a life’s energy if you have no capability to put it to a constructive use? Use your qui wisely, and cultivate the most powerful flow of it you can.

The Constructive use of Chi

When you harness your chi and use it for something, the only moral compass is obviously going to be your own. If you choose to use your chi in a fight against a person or creature, then only you can decide if it is right for you to cause them serious bodily harm or even kill them. Just keep in mind that whether or not you believe that what you do is right, the law might not be keen to agree with your personal assessment of the situation. What you do is ultimately going to come back to you in some form or another. So knowing this, it behooves you to be extra responsible when you channel your qui. Ideally, it should only be used for your health and to help other people.

Unfortunately, some people do not think in those kinds of terms. They can understand the way to channel their qui, but they are still stuck in the competitive plane of thinking about the world. To a person who thinks that way, anything that they want has got to come from someone else, and anything else that someone else possesses must have been taken from another. For these types of people, using their qui to “take back” what is theirs (at least in their opinion) might seem perfectly acceptable to them. This is a perverse use of life energy.

If the use of qui does more harm to the world than good, it is destructive in nature. To try and assign the labels of “good” and “bad” would be inappropriate and crude, but destruction has a nasty tendency to come back to those who dish it out. However, with the constructive use of your qui, you have the potential to have healing and abundance come back to you at a level you may never have even thought was possible. Wouldn’t you rather have healing and wealth coming to you than pain and harm?

The Element of Fire

CDU Traditional Chinese Medicine
Image via Wikipedia

Fire is a great element to counterbalance the others with. While fire is often regarded as a destructive force, in traditional Chinese medicine it is regarded in a much more positive light. Hailing from the south, it is associated in this context with growth and its self repairing continuation of a life force. Through the process of generation, it is said that wood generates fire, just as germination generates growth. While no one element can exist all on its own, fire is definitely a good element to keep close tabs on. After all, just as too much fire can be destructive, too much growth can burn away too many of an area’s resources. Fire’s representative color in Chinese medicine is red.

The element of fire works most closely with the heart and the small intestine. Since growth is continuous throughout life, just as is the beating of the heart and the flowing of waste through the small intestine, it works out very well. Working for the tissues of the body, the element of fire is mostly experienced through taste, and is bitter in nature. From the fire, the next logical element to be produced is Earth, just as literal fire produces ashes from its consumption of the wood which fuels it. Fire’s energy represents growth between the beginning and the transformation that every living thing will inevitably go through.

It is through this growth process that fire provides all of the energy that it is so well known for having. In keeping the middle warm, it allows us to go from the delicate early stage of wood to the more mature, robust stage of Earth, keeping the cycle moving onward. Fire’s ultimate extension could be compared to childhood, and its emphasis on growing before the ultimate changes which transform children into adults really begin to take hold. In this way, fire is an extremely important element in its ability to help out in one’s growth.
