You can move your muscles at will when you hold the cup in front of you, write with a pencil, or take a walk. This is possible because nerves transmit commands from the brain to muscles. However, while there are parts of the body that we can control, there are also parts that we cannot control. This is the area controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
The area controlled by the autonomic nervous system cannot be moved consciously, but moves automatically and unconsciously. For example, physical reactions that we took for granted, such as automatically digesting food, beating the heart while sleeping, breathing without conscious awareness, and reflexively blinking when dust enters, are actually autonomous. This is achieved thanks to nerves.
The autonomic nervous system can be seen as playing the most important role in allowing the human body to always maintain a stable state. But what if something goes wrong with the autonomic nervous system? Problems such as indigestion, irregular heartbeat, difficulty breathing, cold sweat, and abnormal sensation in the limbs may occur.
Q. What are the symptoms of dysautonomia?
A. Autonomic nerves are distributed throughout the body. So, the aspects that appear are very diverse and there are many types. When the balance of the autonomic nervous system begins to break down, symptoms are likely to appear in places that were not normally healthy. If dysautonomia becomes severe, not only physical symptoms but also various mental aspects may appear.
Aspects that appear in the body include △arrhythmia △orthostatic hypotension △hyperventilation △facial flushing △itching △skin troubles △tinnitus △hair loss △neck/shoulder/arm stiffness △chronic fatigue △cold sweat △sleep disorders △dizziness △headache △lack of appetite There are △diarrhea, △indigestion, △excessive sweating and cold hands and feet, and mental manifestations include △anxiety, △nervousness, △depression, △nervousness and sensitivity, △severe mood swings, △chest tightness, and △increased tantrums.
Q. What is the cause of dysautonomia?
A. Before explaining the causes of dysautonomia, we need to know more about our bodies. The autonomic nervous system is connected to the internal organs in our body. In Oriental medicine, the internal organs are referred to as the five organs and six organs. When a specific organ malfunctions or its function declines, metabolism is not performed properly and toxins are created. These toxins continuously stimulate the autonomic nervous system, disrupting the balance of the autonomic nervous system. If this process continues, dysautonomia will appear.
Q. How can I treat dysautonomia?
A. Usually people think that all they need to do is get rid of the symptoms of dysautonomia, but this is like playing a game of whack-a-mole. If you catch one symptom, another symptom will appear, and if you catch a symptom, another symptom will appear. If you only try to deal with the symptoms while leaving the cause alone, it will never end. In addition, you must be careful because taking chemical drugs for a long time can cause toxins to accumulate in your body, worsen your health, and delay autonomic recovery.
Rather than chasing each symptom, Oriental medicine treatment helps the nerves to revive on their own by finding and resolving the cause of weakened autonomic nerves. Therefore, in cases where energy is weak and recovery is poor, oriental medicine treatment often results in a good outcome with less recurrence. However, even though oriental medicine has many advantages, if the cause is not identified or a method that is not appropriate for the current body condition is used, there may be cases where the intended effect is not achieved.
Therefore, it is recommended to undergo a systematic examination to check the cause of dysautonomia and physical condition before treatment. In addition to oriental medical pulse, tongue diagnosis, and abdominal examination, tests related to the autonomic nerves, such as autonomic nerves, brain function, vascular health tests, and infrared thermography, are performed, and the individual’s physical condition, disease progression, and constitution are comprehensively analyzed to provide 1:1 treatment. If treatment is customized, better results can be expected. If your daily life is uncomfortable due to autonomic problems, it is a danger signal sent by your body, so do not ignore it and seek treatment.
