  • I've had years of vomiting, nausea and abdominal pain?

    Thank you for sharing your story with me. Your case seems to be unfolding day by day. From an acupuncture point of view, your Earth Element is not maintaining its proper function, the Earth Element is equivalent to your Stomach & Spleen, which are a pair in Acupuncture, additionally, the Wood Element (Liver/Gallbladder) maybe overacting on the Earth Element, this is the cause of vomiting in Acupuncture. Even if you do not have a gallbladder, we still treat the acupuncture channel. Although your case is complicated, you may experience some relief from acupuncture.
