Recent research proves acupuncture and Chinese medicine are effective for many breast diseases.
Many studies reported in Chinese medical journals suggest that acupuncture or Chinese herbal medicine may significantly decrease the discomfort of women with fibrocystic breast disease, premenstrual breast distention and pain in addition to benign breast lumps.
These women experience significant improvement in their conditions, with as many as 90% or more reporting complete disappearance of their symptoms. For example, Dr. Wang Fa-chang. writing in the Shandong Journal of Chinese Medicine, reported that 90 patients were treated with the same herbal formula for three months. At the end of that time, 97.8% reported that their symptoms were completely gone or significantly improved.
In a second study, published in the Hunan Journal of Traditional Medicine, Dr. Mi Xang reported a 95.31% improvement rate treating 128 cases of fibrocystic breast disease using acupuncture.
Why wait?
Modern Western medicine, for all its many great benefit in our lives, has little to offer women suffering from premenstrual breast distention and pain or fibrocystic breast disease. But, based on current research, we know that Chinese medicine most assuredly does.
What’s better, these treatments are available in the United States from acupuncturists and practitioners of Chinese medicine. Using a combination of Chinese herbal medicines taken internally and or applied externally, acupuncture, exercise and diet and lifestyle modifications, women in the US can achieve the same improvement that Chinese women do.
