Chinese Medicine and the Management of Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

The first book to fully explore the range of treatment options available for hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome using Chinese Medicine, with strategies for pain management, psycho-emotional challenges, disruption of gut health and chronic inflammation.

---

Hypermobility syndromes are more common, complex and varied than most practitioners realise. Every hypermobile patient is unique, and therefore challenging to treat using a pre-set paradigm or protocol. The hEDS population can be underserved by Western medicine and there is much that Chinese medicine can do for this community.

This book is one of the first of its kind - a Chinese Medicine text focusing specifically on hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Presenting existing bio-medical narratives before providing an in-depth exploration of the Chinese Medicine paradigms, this guide gives an overview of comprehensive treatment scenarios and addresses issues faced by EDS patients including pain management, psycho-emotional challenges, disruption of gut health, and chronic inflammation, including post-Lyme syndrome.
