Can acupuncture treat pemphigus vulgaris?

I do not think so: Pemphigus vulgaris (pv) is a serious chronic blistering condition that affects the skin and mucosal membranes. Although, acupuncture may help with some of the symptoms, the treatment of pv is exclusively medical. Therefore, the answer is no: pv cannot be treated with acupuncture.

Energy Moving Tx: Although acupuncture will not cure pemphigus vulgaris; major energy moving treatments using meridians can benefit skin health overall & in that way are likely to be beneficial.
