Has anyone already tried Chinese medicine, like acupuncture, to treat HR disorders?
I'd like reading about your possible experiences with this medicine.
Thanks.

Pompon - Just type in 'accupuncture' in an advanced search for all dates. You'll find several archived threads on that topic with multiple responses, including mine..

A native Chinese woman (currently working in pharm research) showed me a device she uses (electricity vs needles) and the instruction manual. Minimal treatment I saw for anything was about 10 weeks of repeated electronic pulses. She thought it worked, although prefers exercises (and nutrition) which she felt got all the energy channels flowing more efficiently.

Thanks, George. Interesting but mixed opinions there.
I was thinking about acupuncture because I have neck pain. I wondered if such a treatment could be good both for this and for afib.
