    Have found acupuncture to be helpful when not given specific treatment for breathing including antibiotics .Started with acupuncture & flu jab preventing infections thereafter occasionally needs topping up.Found same with chronic cutis acute 3 weekly & spasms caused by heart failure on underlying conditions .
    Spinal pain cupping for oedema now lymphedema & problems with bowel & bladder suspect neuro ?

    I often used it hand in hand with other treatments such as pressurised oxygen [ MS Therapy centre] & reflexology for lymph.

    When had MI – cardiac arrest after haematuria found in urine but wasn’t specialists remit [ uk] I had regular treatment till revived 3x .They said I was lucky Said it was acupuncture .
    Thereafter had sacral – cranial as heart felt like an old boot.

    Some of Acupuncture was in London with Ashanti attached to Middx University on Archway Campus of the Whittington Hospital .

    I read that article and looked for some of the Angelica pubescense plant on line . I have used many other essential oils in the past and am thinking this is an oil although it was relatively cheap ?
    Also lemongrass is a vasodilator . I heat it up in a steamer and love inhaling it . Smells so good .

    Those are just my thoughts on the subject .

    Thanks
    Amy

    Thank you for you responses and comment Amy and Julie. I too use both holistic medicine and traditional medicine to help me manage the symptoms. I have heard that lemongrass is good and would love to use more essential oils even if its just for relaxation. I have tried acupuncture and reflexology, and massage therapy. All of which I would recommend too! Has anyone tried reflexology or massage therapy?
