12-28-09神经痛的尝试
事情缘起与一个好友兼roommate K的运动过度,因为K他真的是一个非常sporty的人,27岁,一个星期7天至少有5天要2个小时以上的运动,常年如此。但是两个月前一次运动完以后回来,坐下来看电脑3个小时,起来的时候觉得脚底麻了。过了2天没有那么麻了,然后就是走路觉得好像脚底下垫了什么东西,反正是funny的感觉,如果用手按下去就只有前三个脚趾的脚尖有异常的感觉。然后去看医生,cat scan,脚底反射都做了。排除了骨折和神经瘤的可能性,医生也只是建议k物理治疗。他自己说就是觉得是运动性末梢神经损伤,症状是nerve pain, numbness, tingling等典型的症状。而这些所有的症状,在躺下来或者没有施加任何压力的时候是完全没有的,和正常一样。但是一旦站起来,给脚施加压力一段时间,比如运动起来,或者走很长的路就开始痛。虽然不是大的问题,但是足够bother到他不能享受到运动的乐趣。
k也很desperate,因为他实在没有其他什么办法,除了每天只是用红花油按摩,不运动对k来说实在是太难受了。做朋友的我当然义不容辞,一边帮他灌输芳疗可以做辅助,一边开始慢慢尝试帮助他的方法。我开始建议他泡脚,用热水泡。很热的水,里面前几天是用Lemon或者majorum加两三滴到热水里面,主要是消除水肿和安抚疼痛的肌肉。K试了几次居然说舒服,但是不知道是泡脚的作用还是精油。但是很愿意继续接受下一步的治疗。这个过程大概一个星期。
我然后就做了2个按摩油,基地都是sweet almond + St John's Wort(20%),一个里面是用Eucalytus+Ginger (1:1 for 1%),另一个是Clove+Thyme (2:1 for 1%)。两个每个用2,3天,交替在泡完脚以后用。主要是为了促进血液循环,减轻肌肉疼痛,安抚神经。k用了几次,虽然不算每天,但是觉得疼痛感减轻了。这个过程大概2,3个星期。
我现在一边让他继续泡脚和按摩。现在开始继续做功课了,书到用时方恨少啊!
我下一步的打算有几个方向,希望各位多提意见多批评,我替k谢谢大家了先. 按摩油里面尝试用
1. black pepper,cinnamon, clove, thyme, ginger, vetiver等促进血液循环,减轻疼痛的。
2. lavender, chamomile, majoram等减轻疼痛,放松安抚神经的。
3. helichrysum,geranium, peppermint修复滋养神经的。看书上说tumeric也很好,不过我没有这个油。
还是经验不足,有些油不敢用,希望大家多给意见。一个喜欢运动的人一两个月没有运动是一件非常难受的事情,我觉得K的精神气都少了很多了。谢谢!

1) Wat is K's ethnic group?
2) At this point of time, wat is his general health condition?
3) Any sign(s) of inflammation or odema?
before prescription or suggesting a blend, is good to know more about his blood pressure as well as some of
his body systems function, i.e. Cardiac (Heart), kidneys & renals & liver functions
From info given abv, I suspected that he might be suffering from a nerve pain call: sciatica nerve pain
学习芳香疗法也同时一起来学习e文吧

先谢谢乳香姥姥!我应该把这些问题先交代清楚的,也询问清楚的。不好意思,我的却离专业差的远,下次一定注意!
1) K是asian, cantonese+taiwanese的混血,1/4 korean.
2)k很健康, 血压,心脏,肾脏等非常正常。除了有先天性的高胆固醇,所以要常年吃降胆固醇药物,所以要定时检查肝功能,而目前为止完全正常。K没有颈椎,腰椎的病史。他爸爸有轻微的糖尿病。
3)我也曾问过K有没有任何炎症和水肿,而他说很奇怪,完全没有这些,也完全没有扭伤,瘀伤。脚麻木之前没有任何sign,当天的运动和往常一样。脚麻2个星期以后几乎完全消失,只感觉痛感,就是上述的感觉。
sciatica nerve pain makes perfect sense to me, could be caused by nerve compression.
对了,还有physician 帮他做过坐骨神经的反射诊断,k是完全正常的。

Prescribing a blend is as good as oral intake although it is adminster and inducing thru the skin
therefore precaution is neccessary.
他的状况与病历无明显关系
种族与配方也有很大的关系!因为黄种人皮肤比白种人厚!说罗嗦一点,白种人比黄种人容易得到忧郁症也比较小气
这个和松果体(Pineal gland)有直接关联 - 大家自己做做功课哈
因此配方与剂量必须要把这个考虑在内
猪猪你谦虚啦

Thank you F master! I don't have the guts to prescribe oral intake...yet, I am not a registered Aromatherapist afterall.
I heard about head lice differs in different ethnic groups, but I never thought about it, at least in this case. I am aware of Pineal gland has related to melatonin and serotonin, which is affected by sunlight, and of course, skin color. Is it the reason why the white suffer more from depression for lack of sunlight? Annnnd, sesquiterpenes could increase oxygen around pineal glands...therefore, we should be careful to treat different ethnic group when using sesquiterpenes-high essential oils? Are you suggesting using sesquiterpene-rich EO in this case? Like Melissa, Frankincense, and Helichrysum? But what is Pineal gland to do with this case?
Well.. excuse for my loads of questions here...
对了,还有physician 帮他做过坐骨神经的反射诊断,k是完全正常的。
it help with many ways including uplifting etc., for a start
