History: Years ago (my first patient after finishing theoretical study) my friend got sick with pregangrenous changes on her toe of the foot. 3 years before that she had thrombosis of abdominal aorta and was operated – Y bypass from aorta to a. Iliacae. After operation she had a lot of trouble with micro circulation of the left leg and the surgery prescribed her low molecular heparin and aspirin for some time but nothing helped. One day her toe became purple blue and the other 4 fingers on the foot were pale and cold. She had very bad pain in the foot and fingers because of the ischemia of the foot.
THERAPY:
In that time my knowledge of acupuncture was very low, but I tried to help her with articles I found on medical pages of TCM. The points I choose were: LI4, LU9, and 3 hours after these , the pain gone for 24 hours. The next day I added St36, GB34, SP6,SP9, and auricula points for sympathicus, Shen men, hypertension, thalamus ,foot and toe. After four treatments the foot became warm and in good circulation. We did 13 treatments and she became completely healed. I did acupuncture on her every day for two weeks.The disease never returned again.
