Tremors and Shaking



Tremors and Shaking are classed as Wind disorders in Traditional Medicine, so other medicines used for Wind diseases may also be applicable. Shaking with loss of sense was traditionally called Shaking Palsy and overlaps the modern diagnosis of Parkinsonism. Warming Pearl Powder was viewed as an especially effective medicine for Shaking Palsy.
