Anxiety and Palpitation

Roxanne comes to see Min for her anxiety and heart palpitation two months ago. She is 38 of age, married and has a caring husband and 2 lovely children.  She had a miscarriage 2 years ago, and slowly builds up a lot of fare and insomnia. She has been diagnosed stomach ulcer and taking laxidiun ever since.  

Stomach is an Earth organ according the Five Elements theory. Ulcer is caused from a form of toxic Fire. Fire then, burns the heart and showing all those anxiety, palpitation and heart burn symptoms.

With no delate, Min uses the Five Elements theory, withdraw the woods to reduce fire and treat her stomach ulcer with diet education, lifestyle education and herbal medicine.  There is problem was not expected, that Roxanne has been trouble with anxiety for so long and she was so much worry about accepting new medicines and even scare to walk out the door by herself. She refuses to take any thing in this stage. Min needs to take step by step to leading her overcome the fare. Min was given her acupuncture to relax her emotion as well as relaxes her stomach cramp, given her herbal teabags to slowly introducing the herbal medicine.

Continue with mild herbal treatment and diet the right food, Roxanne will be recovered fully in a near future.
