" It helped tremendously. Though the real route to my healing process was the detox teas that the Chinese dr gave me. She does acupuncture and Chinese herbs. "

" through my experience,
i've went through 1 month of nearly 2 days once accupuncture.
the treatment uses electricity on pulse basis for 30minutes on every session...

it works for me for like 6months.. but later on, i found the effect seems to cease its effect later on..

but if u have a mild version, do try it.
i would recommend you to try this blood cup suction method of treatment.
it seems to be progressing on my side :)

hope it helps for you.. "

" I think I'm too squeamish to do the blood cup thing, but thanks for the suggestion. I read it and I just can't see myself doing that :( I have moderate eczema, so maybe the accu-puncture will not help me. I can try. To get relief for even a few months would be helpful. "
