Acupuncture Sessions

Well, as I mentioned a while ago I started visiting an acupuncturist to help strenghten my immune system to help with my melanoma. I’ve been going two times a week for the past couple weeks and I wanted to give you guys an update on how it was going.

At the beginning my acupuncturist told me that my liver and spleen were not in harmony and as a result my body was producing a lot of phlegm. I stay away from diary 99% of the time and I don’t believe I’m allegeric to anything either, but I still suffered from mild sinus congestion in the morning.

I’ve got to tell you that the congestion is gone! This fact didn’t hit me until several days ago while I was in the shower. Normally I’ll give a quick blow to clear out anything in my nose and everyday that I’ve done this for years I’ll usually have a little something to show for the effort. But for the past several days nothing! Not one bit of snot.

Another benefit I’ve noticed is that my mouth isn’t dried out in the morning. It doesn’t have that nasty coating either! I’m thinking that since my nasal passages are clear during the night when I sleep that my mouth doesn’t need to open to get air into my lungs. Bonus!

I’m still experiencing a slight swelling/pressure around my ears along my neck. The feeling has become a pain in the neck (that’s punny) and I think I’m going to try a Claratin-D (as recommended by by doctor) to clear up the congestion.
