The treated points are located on the meridians of Du mai, Ren mai, Liver, Large Intestine, Stomach, Spleen and Gall Bladder.
Results – Before coming to the clinic the patients TSH level was 5,9 and after finishing the treatment the TSH level was returned to 4,6. The patient was experiencing extreme tiredness and low energy levels and after finishing the treatments her health was restored and all the associated symptoms were gone. We succeeded to get these positive results with only 6 treatments.
