Healing Crisi with Sinew treatment

[Frederic Leclair]

Hello,

I treated for first time a patient with arm yin sinews (HT and PC), I also treated GI & SI sinews.

The patient had the next day what I would interpret as an healing crisis: he add lots of pain on his arm at end of day, cold hands, spasms and nervous spasm in forearm and hand. But the day after he was fine and felt better than he felt for many days
(he’s doing grape harvest on his lands and works from 6h am to lightning most of days…he’s exhausted). He was able to get back to work and I have not yet seen him since.

Was that an healing crisis? How do sinew create those (I thought only divergent treatment could do these…)?
Why I never experienced any before? Is it related to having treated Shou Yin sinews ?

Thanks

Hi Frederic,

Healing crises can happen any time with any treatment if the patient is ready for it. All you need to do is make sure that the patient has enough Yang, Yin (fluids) and open routes of elimination. Spasms can be a sign of wind releasing through the Sinew channels, but cold hands might have been a sign of Yang deficiency, particularly if he is overworked and sleep-deprived. If he felt better afterwards it suggests that you did the right job. Well done!
