We brought Amber to Oran for acupuncture treatment when she was 7 months old. During the first treatment, Amber was crying when Oran tried to touch her he wanted to check her pulse. She resisted strangers and treatment.
Although the treatment was not painful, it ended up with her crying and screaming. This happened for the next few months during her treatment. After her second treatment, Amber started to cough and throw out discharge through her mouth.
After this, her skin inflammation started to heal. The redness and itchiness over her body became less and every time there was an outbreak of skin inflammation it took a shorter time to heal.
We also learned Shonishin, a sequence of simple massage strokes with a metal tool to do at home in order to strengthen her immune system. We continued the treatment for 8 months. She is recovered now. The acupuncture was actually helping Amber to heal herself. She is now a happy toddler. Oran responsibly advised us to consult with our healthcare provider before proceeding with treatment. Labour started after we finished the second session.
I had trigeminal neuralgia for at least two and a half years. After a Gamma Ray operation, partially successful and Chinese acupuncture, my pain level at times was up to out of 10 and sometimes lower but always with a base pain level of I was desperate to find a solution other than another more intrusive operation.
