[Patient Story] Hesitant at First, Satisfied in the End! Director Li Chan of the National Medicine Hall Successfully Treats an Elderly Patient with Acute Urticaria
After diagnosis, Director Li Chan, considering Mr. Yang's extensive history of underlying diseases and a careful inquiry into his medication history, determined that the root cause of his urticaria was a deficiency of vital energy (Zheng Xu), compounded by the excessive medications he had been taking. This led to the acute episode. She promptly initiated treatment with acupuncture and cupping, along with topical herbal washes, and instructed him to return for acupuncture therapy every other day.
On that day, after the acupuncture and cupping treatment, the hives significantly subsided, and the itching was alleviated. The elderly couple left satisfied.
On the third day, when he came for treatment, Mr. Yang gave a thumbs-up, indicating that after the previous acupuncture treatment and the topical herbal washes at home, the hives had almost completely disappeared, and there was no more itching. “I hadn't been able to sleep for days since the onset, but after receiving treatment from Director Li Chan at the National Medicine Hall, I finally had a peaceful and restful night's sleep.”
