A 49 year old female patient came into the clinic for hyperthyroidism. Her doctor told her that after six months, if her thyroid hormone level does not drop, then she would have to take a hormone pill for rest of her life. This patient had been treated for her neck and shoulder pain before, so she was hoping we could treat her with oriental medicine.

​

We explained how we a treat thyroid related disorder, and used the acupuncture point “Large Intestine Tonify” for  five days every day. After 10 days, her hormone level came back to normal. She was very happy that she did not need to take medicine anymore.
