Diabetes

Acupuncture is an ancient art that Chinese people have been using for thousands of years in treating all kinds of health related problems. Although in US, acupuncture is best known for its ability in reducing pain, the technique is actually very effective in managing problems associated with many severe diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. It does not conflict with modern medical treatment of any conditions. Therefore, every member of our society should be made aware of such a wonderful technique!

For diabetes, acupuncture can directly lower the level of blood sugar. In particular, acupuncture is very effective in handling issues related to the complications of diabetes such as neuropathy. I had a patient, for example, who had to kick wall every morning so as to feel where his feet were. This is because he virtually lost sensation of his feet due to severe neuropathy. With one single treatment by acupuncture, when he walked out of my clinic, he knew where his feet were.

Other examples include none healing skin sores in diabetic patients. Acupuncture can help to quickly heal the sores by promoting circulations around the lesions. The terminal stages of diabetic complication often involve amputation of legs of patients. However, if acupuncture treatment is employed early enough, it is very likely that the legs of patients can be saved.

Acupuncture is superbly effective for relaxation. It is very useful in alleviating common problems associated with severe diseases such as anxiety and depression!! It achieves so without using drugs and with virtually no side effects such as addiction.

Last but not the least, acupuncture is very effective in weight management. Obesity, as a national pandemic, plays a very important role in the process of diabetes.
