An Acne Story
Episode description
An Acne Story
In the first episode of Acupuncture Storytime Podcast, we examine a case of a 30 year old woman with acne. She’s already an expert in alternative healthcare, but no treatment she tries can make the pimples go away. After the conventional dermatologist fails to find a cure, she wanders into the Chinese Medicine Clinic.
Will Herbs and Acupuncture work when other treatments have failed? What’s the difference in diagnosis between Eastern and Western perspectives? And how does a sweaty blonde man with cold feet fit into the picture? Listen to find out!
