Guest guest Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 Hmm, from what I understand of Alopecia Universalis, it is a autosomal recessive trait that is inherited. If so, I'm not sure acupuncture will help much if it is genetic. What Acupuncture may be able to do is directly nourish the follicles of hair at the surface, which may in turn slow down the process of hair loss. But I don't think it will be able to make it go away. metalgirl2677 <metalgirl2677 wrote:Hello, my name is Jackie.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 In the contraty, it works very good with acupuncture. I usually supplement the treatment with herbs but I think acupuncture plays the main role here. Alopecia usually is the outcome of stress/fear or emotional shock of any kind. It may sometimes happen due to nutritional impairment - most of which affect the kidne Qi (both the emotional etiology or the nutritional). I have also seen it happen as a result of taking the contraceptive pills, but no wonder. The pills usually adversely affect the kidney Qi. Treatment must be a local Huici technique with the needles along with addressing kidney Qi. Nutrition must be also be properly tailored, if this is the main cause. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 This is a term describing local needling in a few directions. Either surround the focus of disease, whether alopecia or a boil, by a few needles inserted a few mm beneath the skin and pointing to the center of the focus, or, for painful syndromes. For painful syndromes, insert a longer needle at the point and maneuver to disperse three times, each time at a different direction. Or with warm needling. For this purpose insert three needles at the point from three different angles. On the needle that obtained the best Deqi apply warm needling. BTW, Bobbi, this technique works wonders when applied properly and at the right time.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Bobbi, the difference is that in Huici you also manipulate the needles in three different directions before leaving them in situ. In Circling the Dragon you insert the needles without manipulating them. Both techniques are good for alopecia.
