Alopecia

I first met Markus Grasser when he offered me shiatsu for a wrist injury I had suffered using power tools. I had been prescribed anti-inflammatorys and painkillers from a doctor and was told to expect to wait 3 to 4 weeks for it to recover. I was more than happily surprised when 2 days after the treatment by Markus, I had the full use of my wrist again and was pain free.

A while later I asked him for a consultation about the hair loss problem I’d had for 20 years, alopaecia areata. I had lost I’d say 70% of my scalp hair. We discussed lifestyle and diet, and changes were recommended as well as a series of Chinese herbs. Markus explained the course of treatment prescribed to me in some depth, and assisted me in identifying and transforming the ways in which I was literally exhausting my system. I undertook to take the herbs twice a day, and adopt a wiser dietary regime, and vigorous scalp massage, and I received shiatsu from a student of Markus.

What I can say today, is that after a year or so of taking the herbs etc. my hair coverage on my scalp is probably 80%. I’ve learned to listen to my body’s needs more and take far better care of my health. I’ve slowed my pace down, I don’t experience the constant pressure of rushing constantly that I used to experience. I still get the same amount done, but without exhausting myself in the process. I think the course of treatment inspired me and assisted me in being willing to take responsibility for nourishing myself as best I can.

I’m deeply grateful to Markus, I found it easy to be open and honest with him, I felt cared for and encouraged by him along the way, and I would recommend him to anyone who wanted to make some healthy changes in their lives with the support of a man dedicated to uplifting the quality of people's lives.
