Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

I just want to know some exercises to cure my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

Matthew's reply: Hi, while exercise may help you, it won't target the root cause of your OCD. If you're looking for a non-drug solution, Chinese herbal medicine may be your answer.

Chinese herbal medicine will address underlying emotional imbalances, such as anxiety, fear, anger and frustration, which are common in OCD, as well as physical imbalances. Acupuncture may also help you - acupuncture and herbal medicine are often used together.

To find out which herbal medicines are best for you though you'll need to consult a qualified Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner, such as a herbalist or acupuncturist (acupuncturists are often also trained in Chinese herbal medicine). In TCM, everyone is considered a unique individual, so even if two people have the same medical condition - in this case Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - it is highly unlikely they will receive the same treatment.

If you have general questions about Chinese herbal medicine or acupuncture I'll be happy to help but, as mentioned, for specific advice on your particular condition you really need a face-to-face consultation with a TCM practitioner.

All the best,

Matthew
