Patients can be given this treatment frequently, such as two or three times a week, and this will help them avoid some of the nasty side-effects of such radical and debilitating treatments.<br /><br />This patient needs every help she can get to ensure that her blood is as rich as possible in view of her medical history. Since I cannot use moxa because of the risk of increasing her BP, and therefore its effect is weaker than it would be with moxa, I like to use it frequently to help her take as much as she can from this point. I hope that explains my reasons for using this point. It's good to ask though! That's how we all learn.Nora Franglenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627535638144210306noreply@blogger.com
