        I’ve just finished the pain module and was looking for additional help.

        Post op knee replacement …. what module or webinars in the school would I look for, for more information about how the body recovers from orthopedic surgeries. Does this type of pain respond to topical sprays?

        Do we still treat the symptoms like any other pain and insomnia cases? (for example Rest Easy or Paneaway or both?) Would an anti-inflammatory help with the morning tightness?  Thank you 🙂

          Hello I have been trying to attach a picture.  It would show you points to work in your ear to help your pain.  I am not the best with computers but I am very good with auricular therapy. It works very well for things like knee surgery. I am working with Dr. Patrick to put a course online for auricular therapy. look online for ear acupuncture points for the knee. rub the points in your ear. you can use a ballpoint pen if you want. don’t use needles 🙂 just rub them with something like a pen or even just your fingers. I think you will find that it helps. if you have question ask and I will try to help Jed

              Jed, Tell me what points you’re wanting and I’ll put up a picture. :0)

              By the way, everyone, Jed Adamson is a remarkable naturopath. He’s trained me on several important modalities. I’m hoping the auricular therapy school will be up soon.

              Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

                Anti-inflammatory herbs like those in the Joint upport formula are helpful. I’d also use hops topically.

                  My husband is having rotator cuff surgery in 2 days and I am looking for advise for pain control as well.  Looking forward to seeing what the suggestions are.
