Twenty Seven year old Phillip came to the clinic complaining of seasonal allergy and asthma, stuffy nose with itchy eyes. He also had difficulty in inhalation. Other than the use of an inhaler every morning, Phillip doesn't use any other medication. He is generally healthy without any significant medical history.
Points around his naval, upon palpation, showed tightness. His right SCM mucles also showed tightness. Behind the SCM muscles, some swollen and congested lymphatic glands could be palpated on both sides of the neck. The mid point on his hair line above his forehead also showed soreness upon palpation. All points along his spine, especially C7 and T7
were sensitive upon palpation. His pulse was fast with 85 beats per minute. His stomach qi was without movement.
Acupuncture treatments included twenty minutes on his arms, front, and feet, and another twenty minutes on his back with thread moxa. The application of moxa was repeated until Phillip could feel the heat.
Six more treatments later, Phillip could feel his conditions were 90% better.
