OT: Cure for Tic Disorder (mild tourette's syndrome)

[Turboner]

just wanted to ask a question to the chinese posters here, can chinese medicine cure tic disorders? Currently there is no known cure in western medicine.

What are Tics?
Tic disorders cause rapid, uncontrollable movements or sounds that a person makes for no apparent reason. They are involuntary actions and often tend to happen in sudden bouts. Usually occurring on a daily basis, tics are almost always an unwelcome experience for the sufferer.

People with tics may succeed in suppressing them for a short time, but most often not long- term. They are as difficult to suppress as the urge to sneeze! Like the sneeze, it can be very uncomfortable to suppress a tic, and many people describe a feeling of relief afterwards.

Examples of tic disorders include:

Eye blinking or darting
Head jerking
Finger flexing
Sticking tongue out
Touching the nose
Touching other people
Smelling objects
Obscene gestures
Flapping the arms
Jumping or twirling about
Throat clearing
Yelping
Sniffing
Tongue clicking
Uttering words or phrases out of context
Coprolalia (vocalizing socially unacceptable words)


Sorry for the post, just kinda desperate to get rid of it

I'm not chinese, but my girl is in medicine. She says that you should visit a neurologist, who will prescribe you a psych medicine. You may also have narcolepsy.

i had a coworker who had the tics..... she (chinese) would boil water and put in these flower petals i think and it would sort of become a tea..... it would sort of calm down her nervous system or just calm her down period to the point where her tics, atleast her verbal ones, would stop.....amazing stuff i drank it once for migranes i had and it worked after like 45 min-1hr
