Bentosa or Cupping

Bentosa


An ancient treatment practiced in many cultures around the world known as "cupping" or "Ba Guan", uses the creation of a vacuum against the patient's skin to create a stimulating effect. Cupping is beneficial for stagnation of blood and energy (qi) in the body.

How does cupping work?

Ancient Chinese Medicine prescribes this technique in cases where "stagnation" must be treated, commonly in th elungs, when it is used to treat coughs, and tightness or congestion in the chest.

It draws stagnant qi from deep within to the surface to be released, so easing pain,. It is also sometimes used to treat muskuloskeletal pain. Often, it is used in conjuction with other techniques, like acupuncture and acupressure.

In addition to treating the stagnation - based illnessess, cupping has been reported to leave a long-term feeling of relaxation and invigoration. It does not harm you when performed by someone properly trained in the technique, and is perfectly safe to use in conjunction with other more mainstream forms of medicine. It is very popular in China and Korea and has a long history of use in acupuncture practice.

It leaves distinctive circular marks when done properly. the areas may feel as if they were sunburned for a short while.

Moxibustion

Moxibustion

Is a form of fire heat treatment that stimulates specific acupuncture points of the body.

The term is drived from the japanese "mogusa" meaning herb (mugwort) and the latin "bustion" meaning burning.

Benefits, theory and practice

Practitioners use moxa to warm regions and acupuncture points with the intention of stimulating circulation through the points and inducing a smoother flow of blood and qi. Research, for example at Mugwort has shown that mugwort acts as an emmenagogue, meaning that it stimulates blood-flow in the pelvic area and uterus. It is claimed that moxibustion militates against cold and dampness in the body and can serve to turn breech babies.

Moxibustion therapy in conjunction with acupuncture can be very effective for many diseases and conditions including back pain, muscle stiffness, headaches, migraines, tendonitis, arthritis, digestive disorders, anxiety, and female health problems such as menstrual cramps, irregular periods, and infertility.

Practitioners consider moxibustion to be especially effective in the treatment of chronic problems, "deficient conditions" (weakness), and gerontology,. Bian Que (fl. circa 500 BC), one of the most famous semi-legendary doctors of the Chinese antiquity and the first specialist in moxibustion, discussed the benefits of moxa over acupuncture in his classic work. He asserted that moxa could add new energy to the body and could treat both excess and deficient conditions.

New Method on Pain Management!

Dr. Isagani Leal M.D

The New Leader in Pain Management now in Philippines!

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is an emerging treatment modality for managing pain caused by various muskuloskeletal disorders. "extracorporeal" means "outside the body" and refers to non-invasive procedure in which sound waves are directed at the area where pain occurs. "ESWT is a non- invasive, no injection, result is appreciated immeadiately non-time consuming and simple procedure". According to Dr. Isagani LEal.

Indications:

• Tennis Elbow
• Golfer's Elbow
• Shoulder Tendinopathy/calcific tendinitis
• Trochanteric Bursitis
• Jumper's knee/Patellar tendinopathy
• Shin splints
• Achilles Tendinopathy
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Recalcitrant Diabetic wounds

How does it promote healing???

• Repeated shockwave to the affected area creates neo-vascularization (new blood flow) into the area. It is the new blood flow that promotes tissue healing.
• In chronic pain, the brain has "forgotten" about the pain and is doing nothing to heal the area. By having shockwave therapy, a new inflammation process is created and the brain can react to it by sending necessary body nutrients to the area to promote healing.

Advantages:

• Non invasive
• No anesthesia needed
• no injection
• no medication
• no surgery
• Fast treatment
• quick recovery and quick result
• out patient basis

Contraindications:

• Neurological and vascular disease of the foot
• history of rupture of the plantar fascial ligament
• open bone growth plates

• are a man with clinical conditions associated with bone loss.
• use medications that are known to cause bone loss, including corticosteroids such as Prednisone, various anti-seizure medications such as Dilantin and certain barbiturates, or high-dose thyroid replacement drugs.
• have type 1 (formerly called juvenile or insulin-dependent) diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease, or a family history of osteoporosis.
• have high bone turnover, which shows up in the form of excessive collagen in urine samples;.
• have a thyroid condition, such as hyperhyroidism.
• have a parathyroid condition, such as hyperparathyroidism.
• have experienced a fracture after only mild trauma.
• have had x-ray evidence of vertebral fracture or other signs of osteoporosis.
• also recommended for you and for everyone, early detection and prevention is the best treatment!

@ Charmgin Living Well, we use the Peripheral device equipment, used to measure bone density in the wrist, heel or finger.

Slim Thru E.S.W.T (Fat Shocker)

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (E.S.W.T) Fat Shocker

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy are using a build-in high pressure technique of ESWT fat shocker, because of the air pulse pressure receiving the impact, and also there are vibration coming through from the ESWT shocker, produces like the nEwton's third law of motion, law of receiprocal actions create shockwaves. ESWT aim at the fatty cell, through liquid as the medium, produce cavitations and let the fatty cell get vacuum vapour bubble, along with the negative pressure and the pulse frequency rise, the formation of the vacuum vapour bubbles increases at the same time, the vacuum vapour bubbles can be demolished automatically and eliminated by the shockwave which comes afterwards, and eventually metabolized by the lymphatic system. ESWT can breakdown the fat cell to make body slim, eliminates the cellulitis, tightly firming the loose skin, stimulates the growth of collagen, reduces the wrinkles, increases the skin elasticity, desalinates the post-natal striae gravidarum, stimulate metabolism, activate lymphatic system which are the remarkable effects.

Advantages:

• Non invasive procedure
• Can eliminate cellulite and also cure different kind of muscle pain or bone injuries
• Using bith Cavitation and Shock for eliminating the fat cell
• More tiny size vacuum vapour bubble that is much easier to self-demolished.

Cellulite is structured to be very weak in "vibration" and "shock" unlike the other cells of the human body. That is, it means that "vibration" and "shock" can be used in order to eliminate fat cells. In the obesity treatment using a supersonic wave based machine, "destruction of fat cell" can be done by Cavitation (Vibration). Using Shockwave in the obesity treatment however, destruction of fat cell can be done by both Cavitation (vibration) and shock (strong shock wave).

Acupuncture: Alternative Way of Healing

Acupuncture is a safe and effective natural therapy that is used to heal illness, prevent disease and improve well-being.

Tiny, hair-thin needles are inserted into specific points in the body, where they are gently stimulated to trigger the body's natural healing response.

Acupuncture is effective for controlling pain and can regulate the body's physiological functions to treat various internal dysfunction and disorders.

THEORY AND BENEFITS:

According to traditional acupuncture theory, there are twelve (12) energy channels called "meridians" running vertically along the length of the human body, each one linking to a specific organ.

Increasing the height while still young

In General, the growth curve of young people peaks during Puberty.

However, this is the same time that sex hormones start being secreted, and these hormones disturb the activity of hyaline cartilage and make it harden, which eventually leads to the stoppage of growth.

It is said that it takes about 2 years for the cartilage to harden after the body begins developing sex hormones.

Serving as a center of ossification or bone growth, hyaline cartilage is found lining the bones at joints and is also present inside bones. In clinics specializing in children's growth, the doctors check the x-rays of the cartilage to see if their young patients still have the possibility for further growth.

According to Oriental medicine, two organs_Kidneys and Spleen_play a major role in a child's growth.

In order for children to grow properly, the innate energy of their kidneys and the acquired energy of their spleen and stomach should work in harmony.

When either of them is deficient, growth can be delayed or disturb.

With this in mind, Oriental medical doctors suggest children take Herbal Medicines to invigorate the kidneys and increase the energy of the digestive organs. Most prescriptions promoting children's growth also focus on strengthening the muscles and bones and increasing energy, blood and "chong", an essential nutritious body material that includes Western medical concept of hormones.

@ Charmgin Living Well, one of our services include Children Height Growth Therapy, and Height Growth Analyzer that scan the Hyaline Cartilage and bone plate in order to detect if there is still a possibility for a child to grow more.

We also have Program to increase the height of child...program include Acupuncture,Herbal Medicines,Exercise....
