“Finding Balance and Relief: East Asian Medicine for Peripheral Neuropathy”

Do you or someone close to you struggle with peripheral neuropathy? That unsettling combination of numbness, tingling, or pain in your hands and feet can really interfere with your daily life. If conventional treatments haven't offered much relief, there’s another way to approach this – one that looks at the body as a whole and works to restore balance. At Sagire, we use Classical East Asian Medicine (CEAM) to help ease symptoms and support the healing process naturally.  

How does CEAM view Peripheral Neuropathy?

In CEAM, peripheral neuropathy is often seen as a result of imbalances in your body’s vital energy (Qi) and blood flow. When the flow of Qi and blood is obstructed or insufficient, the nerves can’t function properly, leading to those familiar sensations of discomfort. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, we work to uncover the underlying cause of these imbalances and help you regain harmony within your body. 

Acupuncture: A Core Treatment

Acupuncture is a key therapy in CEAM, offering a natural way to relieve neuropathy symptoms and encourage nerve health. By carefully placing fine needles along energy pathways (meridians), we help improve circulation, regulate Qi flow, and reduce inflammation. Not only can acupuncture help ease pain, but research shows it may also boost endorphins—your body’s natural feel-good chemicals—giving you a much-needed sense of relief.

Herbal Medicine for Long-Term Support

In conjunction with acupuncture, herbal medicine is a powerful ally in treating neuropathy. With custom-blended herbal formulas, we can nourish your Qi, invigorate blood flow, and strengthen your nerves over time. These formulas are tailored specifically to your needs, offering a natural way to build resilience and promote long-term relief from neuropathy.

Diet and Lifestyle: Simple Changes for Better Health

What you eat and how you live also play important roles in your journey to better health. By adding nutrient-rich, whole foods to your diet—such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains—you give your body the fuel it needs to heal and regenerate. We also encourage avoiding processed or inflammatory foods, which can aggravate your symptoms. Additionally, techniques like mindfulness, meditation, and gentle movement can help manage stress, another factor that can influence your healing.

We know how challenging living with peripheral neuropathy can be, and our team is here to support you every step of the way. At Sagire, we combine the ancient wisdom of East Asian Medicine with modern understanding to create a personalised treatment plan just for you. Our goal is to address the root causes of your symptoms and guide you back to balance, comfort, and vitality.
