Varicose can happen as we age. Traditional Chinese Medicine thinks varicose is mainly due to coldness or blockage of veins. Thus our treatment intends to warm up the channels/meridians and resolve the blockage.
An 80 years old client having varicose veins visited us for her lower back and knee pain. She complaint that she could only stand for a duration of 10 mins.
Treatment:
- Acupuncture on Bladder 15 and 40, Spleen 10, CV12, ST36;
- Blood letting on the affected areas;
- Moxibustion on selected acupoints to warm up the channels.
After a few treatments, she can stand up for 30 mins continuously without pain. She feels that she has a lighter body (before she feels heavy legs and lower back). The swelling and tightness in the lower legs has been largely relieved.
