A member asked:
What are some illnesses that can be better treated with eastern medicine (acupressure, accupuncture, etc.) than western medicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sx without diagnosis: Acupuncture is often helpful for treatment of symptoms even in the absence of clear diagnoses. It can also be used to treat constellations of symptoms which are classified in traditional chinese medicine but which are not recognized in western medicine.
