Abstract:
Acupuncture-moxibustion treatment was undertaken on two patients (a 34-year-old man and a 67-year-old woman) who were diagnosed as allergic rhinitis in an otorhinological department. The patients underwent the treatment once a week, in which direct-or scarless-moxibustion (15 pieces) was applied to Tachui (GV14) and acupuncture for whole body adjustment. The subjective symptoms, eosinophil in pituita and the results of other blood examinations were compared with those of their first visits. The eosinophiles in the pituita disappeared and those in the blood fell to the average level. Although there are individual differences, a certain prolonging effect was seen in the follow-up data.
