Quite right, I didn't realise that one would be preferred over another
for dealing with this. There is a Chinese acupuncturist that he does
recommend, so I will get that info from him. What is TCM theory?
SOrry, I am not very versed in acupuncture, though I know it has
worked for me for various things.
As an aside, I have a son with extreme anxiety and depression. He is
on conventional meds for them now, but doesn't want to be forever.
Will acupuncture help with this?
Thanks again for your input.
Kind regards
Andrea
