WHAT CAN ACUPUNCTURE DO FOR HEADACHES?
According to the National Headache Foundation, over 45 million Americans
suffer from chronic headaches, and 28 million suffer from migraines and
sinus headaches.
Several clinical studies have shown acupuncture treatment is an effective
option for treating chronic headaches. This is because acupuncture not
only concentrates on the pain itself, it also tries to get rid of the
origin that causes the pain in the first place.
It is quite often that headaches that do not respond to conventional treatment,
become relieved with just a few sessions of acupuncture treatment.

that have characteristics of purging the body of toxic phlegm are prescribed
with other blood regulating herbs to cleanse the body of these toxins.
