I've been seeing an acupuncturist for damp heat with spleen
deficiency. My main symptoms are a white-yellow tongue coating and a
foggy head that never clears.

She "sticks" me, then cups my back (12-14 points), which instantly
clears my head. I drink herbs daily until the next appointment.
Without them, my head fogs over. I don't eat/drink dairy, coffee, or
sugar, but my head gradually fogs over without the herbs and don't
know why my body isn't clearing itself. Why is that?

I've been seeing her for 3 months (1x to 2x/wk), and she gave me a
discount on the visits, but the insurance doesn't cover acupuncture,
and I want to be cured.

I'm not sure what cupping does, and don't know what else to do.
She's a nice lady, and I appreciate the discount very much. She is,
however, 90 mins away, and her visits aren't covered by insurance.

I just want my head to clear and it never does. Any suggestions or
explanations or suggestions as to what to do? Many thanks.
