Something Stinks, and its Not Acupuncture

Acupuncture continues to dominate the health care news lately... A new article on US News and World Report indicates that acupuncture might be helpful in treating patients that have lost their sense of smell after an infection. The name of the condition is post-viral olfactory dysfunction (PVOD), according to the article. The unfortunate part about this study is that it is very small, with only 15 participants. The upside is that if you are suffering from olfactory sensory loss (a loss of smell), then acupuncture could very well help you.

The first step would be to perform an accurate analysis of your "Chi" through the use of a computerized system. We use the Acugraph. The next step would be to treat acupuncture points that create balance for YOU, and acupuncture points related to the sense of smell.

The other positive thing about this approach to PVOD is that there are no side affects. The article in US News and World Report states that there is no medication approved for the treatment of PVOD. For that, we can all be thankful...
