Acupuncture has helped reduce my seizures

Sat, 04/01/2006 - 22:19
I've been receiving acupuncture once a week for the last month and it has made a great difference in the frequency and severity of my Simple Partial Seizures. I just wanted to share this and see if anybody else out there has tried it and if it has worked for them.

A growing number of people with epilepsy are finding that this ancient treatment helps control seizures. Acupuncture, which as been part of China's medical heritage for over 3,000 years, was introduced into the United States and Canada in the 1970's. Since that time, it's become one of the most frequently requested of the complementary therapies (to be used in conjunction with conventional medicine or other treatments.)

Well i haven't had acupuncture personally, but my mom has. She had high blood pressure, but in about 2 weeks, after one acupuncture appointment, her blood pressure went back to completely normal levels. She also had other health issues that were completely resolved because of acupuncture. I know she would absolutely recommend it. Supposedly, it is not painful, and can actually be relaxing. I also encourage it because it helped my mom to improve her health. Best wishes to you and your health!
