Question
shalom from jerusalem.  i would appreciate receiving any help from you for treatment of arteriosclerosis of leg in a 54 year old man.  as a practicing acupuncturist i have not treated this condition before.  this man suffers from severe pain in the leg and stomach.  his daughter, whom i have only spoken with on phone, tells me that there is no ulcer. i would assume, even before seeing this man, that he suffers from stasis of blood and qi.  any advise from you would be greatly appreciated.  sincerely , michael feller,

Answer
Hi Michael,

The treatment of arteriosclerosis under the diagnosis of qi and blood stasis is on the right management plan.  Include points for energy and blood tonifier.  St 36, LI 4, Lv 3, UB 17, front mu and back shu of heart.  I would recommend on the nutritional aspect as well.  Staying clear of read meats, dairy products, or any fry food.
