49-year-old Andrea caught Covid-19 in March. She had a history of asthma for many years. When Covid hit her, the symptoms were mainly in her respiratory system. She had bad cough with phlegm, short breath with wheezing, high temperature and extreme fatigue. The symptoms stabilized after a month's treatment of antibiotics and steroid. But six months on, the lung infection and fatigue were still stopping her from living a normal life. At the time when she came to see me, she was coughing and bring up yellow phlegm. She had short breath and wheezing after physical activity. She had bad sleep, brain fog and poor concentration. She said her energy level was about 30% of normal. I applied acupuncture and cupping treatment. When she came back the following week, she was very excited and said her energy level had risen to 50-55%. She kept having weekly treatment and after every session she had some improvement. Her brain fog was gone. She could concentrate and started working again. After ten sessions, her energy level was 90-95% of normal and she started jogging. Now Andrea is feeling totally normal and back to cycling and horse riding.

Jean, 80-year-old farmer's wife, suddenly
started getting a terrible pain on the right side of her face. She had
unpredictable attacks of intense, electric shock-like pain, which would last
from a few seconds to a few minutes. Sometimes a light touch on the right side
of her nose could trigger the pain. Her doctor believed it was trigeminal
neuralgia, which could be related with her long standing condition of multiple
sclerosis (MS). In MS, trigeminal neuralgia is most often caused by damage ...
