What is neural therapy?
Neural therapy (NT) is a way of treating the person through the integrating and regulating function of the nervous system (NS), especially the vegetative or autonomic nervous system.
The body and mind are inseparable in the human being, and the NS is one of the ways in which emotions are expressed in the body. All organs and tissues of the body have nerve fibers that allow their functions to be regulated and, at the same time, all nerve fibers are connected to each other forming a network. This nerve network that interrelates the areas of the body is plastic, changes and adapts to the stimuli and needs of each moment.
Any phenomenon that leaves an irritation in a nerve fiber can disturb its regulating function and, as a consequence, the tissues in its area of influence can be altered. An irritation in a nerve fiber also means an irritation in the network of which it is a part, so the alteration is in the entire network and its manifestations can be reflected and felt in other areas of the body, especially in those where there is already a genetic predisposition or due to previous conditions.
How does it act?
NT only aims to neutralize these irritations of the nervous tissue so that it, and the network to which it belongs, can find balance again and the organism recovers its self-healing mechanisms.
In our relationship with the patient, their life history is fundamental, since it suggests to us what experiences may have disturbed their NS from specific points. Scars from wounds or interventions, infections suffered, dental conditions and emotional shocks are examples of lived phenomena that can leave irritation in their nerve network.
The local anesthetic (LA), generally procaine, is the only substance that is used in this therapy, although, in our case, its purpose is not anesthetic, but diagnostic and therapeutic. Research and experience have shown that the application of LA in low concentration can neutralize the irritated focus of the nervous tissue, repolarizing its electrical potential and stabilizing its membrane.
Thus, the injection of LA in the irritated points of the NS can allow the recovery of its function and facilitate, in this way, the balance of the being, in its physical, mental and emotional dimensions.
NT must be applied by doctors, nurses or dentists, each in their professional field. This treatment system is complementary to your usual medical treatment.
