You might be shocked to know that there are over 3.7 million people diagnosed with different forms of fibromyalgia in the US. If you suffer from this read on to learn about an ancient self help technique. Through out the years I’ve treated a number of fibromyalgia patients using Chinese medicine in my clinic. The symptoms of fibromyalgia can vary, depending on the weather, stress, physical activity or even the time of day. They include: Many people have asked me if acupuncture treats fibromyalgia. Now a recent study at the Mayo Clinic proves that acupuncture does indeed treat this malady successfully. In fact, doctors and researchers were amazed that acupuncture treats far beyond just the symptoms of pain. It addresses the fatigue and anxiety associated with fibromyalgia. This is totally in sync with what Oriental medicine has been teaching for thousands of years. Practitioners of traditional Oriental medicine treat the Three Treasures…Shen, Qi and Jing. Shen is consciousness and spirit. Qi is the vital life energy that animates your body. Jing is the material substance of your body. So that is why acupuncture is successful…it treats the physical, mental and emotional levels. |
