NEUROSIS TREATMENT BY TRADITIONAL MEDICINE THERAPIES

For centuries, in traditional medicine, acupuncture and medicinal herbs have been used
in the treatment of nervous system disorders as well of those disorders of psychogenic nature
as is the case of neurosis. The World Health Organisation has confirmed the efficiency of
acupuncture in regulating the activity of the human psychic and in relieving the nervous
system of the tension accumulated from stress, an over strained mind or psychic traumas.

Neurosis is a term used in defining a

number of pathological manifestations of
the nervous system, manifestations that
disturb the psychic balance and trigger a
number of neurotic behaviors, as a result of
over strain or psychic traumas. Neuroses
are born from a psychic conflict caused by
events occurred in the patient’s past. They
express the individual’s inadaptation to the
life conditions at that time (social, family
and professional background; incapacity to
meet the society’s requirements, incapacity
to achieve the objectives that he set for
himself, etc.).

From an organic point of view, neurosis generates a psychic tension with a negative
impact upon the whole body (it disturbs the inter-organic relationships, the metabolic changes
and the bodily functions). The patient is aware of the deterioration of his psychic condition;
he tries to find solutions to restore the psycho-affective balance.

The specific types of neurosis are differentiated depending on the manifestations. Thus,
the following types will be distinguished:

 anxiety neurosis (or psychasthenia; it has such symptoms as fear or continuous

inquietude, insomnias, fear of death, suffocation, perspiration, vertigoes, quivering
with extremities growing cold, abdominal cramps, sensation of heart arrest, fear of
sickness, photo phobia);

  asthenic neurosis (or neurasthenia; sleep disorders, fatigue and weakness at wakening,
insomnias, cephalgia, vertigo, lump in the throat, suffocation fits or breathing
disorders, continuous fatigue – asthenia and lack of energy, concentration and memory
disorders, neuralgias, numbness and tingling in the limbs, irritability fits, nervousness,
emotional hypersensitivity and low tolerance to noise);

 hysterical neurosis (manifested by hysterical episodes or fits, triggered under strong

stress, ones that are similar to the epileptic attacks. Yet the patient is semi-conscious;
he reacts to painful stimuli; he remembers the hysterical episode and his pupils react to
luminous stimuli);

 visceral-vegetative neurosis (or cardiac neurosis); it comprises such cardiac

manifestations as palpitations, tachycardia, precordial pains, superficial
breathing, asthenia, dyspnea, abdominal bloating and constipation)

Treatment

The fact that they are aware of their condition and that they wish to recover their inner
balance is an advantage for the patients suffering from neurosis in getting healthy. In the
treatment, it is very important to stimulate the oxygenation of the cerebral area responsible for
the processes of self-evaluation and building of self-appreciation. By improving the respective
oxygenation processes, the patient’s psychic will be relaxed and the disturbed cerebral
functions will be restored within optimum parameters.

The Tibetan acupuncture techniques employed, acupuncture and medicinal herbs, will
also treat the existing organic disorders. The medical psychological counselling sessions help
the patient reassess his own forces, build objectives that he can attain by his own abilities,
find his own limitations and ways to go beyond them, make for himself a realistic picture of
the reality he lives in and find solutions to the problems he faces. By rebuilding his self image
and the way he relates to the exterior, the patient will regain confidence in himself and in his
capacity to evolve so as to feel accomplished and content with his own person.
