Re: [Alopecia Areata Support Group] Acupuncture

I am currently using acupuncture for weight loss and he is adressing my AA as well as allergies.  I've been doing it since Aug.  I lsot some weight (20 lbs) but put it back when I broke my rib just before Christmas  then my dad passed away, then I got layed off.  Weight loss wasn't top of my list of things to do.

I'm back on track.  The one thing is that when he does my overall 'Chi', the items that are not in balance, tend to be the along the same meridians as the AA points.   It's all related.  I don't know if it works, but it did help with my allergies and my grief.  I am keeping with it for now.  It's not more than going to Weight Watchers or anything else so I'll let you know if anything happens with my hair.
