Hello, I am Dr. Lee from Sinus School.
Do you enjoy your time at the school?
Hope you do so.
Today let me tell you how to treat
rhinitis through
Blood pricking therapy.

Treating Rhinitis- Blood-pricking
Therapy
on the Nasal Cavity
Sinus cold includes the symptoms of
inflamed nasal mucosa causing nasal congestion with extra secretion as big as
the membrane inflamed. As a broken faucet, nasal discharge continues. The
inflamed membrane becomes susceptible to the slightest stimulation, inducing
sneezing. The color of the discharge changes from clear to yellow, indicating
the progress of the severity of rhinitis. When the body's immune system runs at
its optimal level, resting a few days restores the nose to its normal level and
the body aches from a cold will go away. In other cases, the symptoms prolong
and the nasal conditions would worsen.
Considering the circumstances, taking a
few days of rest and get healed by itself would be the most desirable outcome.
Irrespective of using oriental or western medicine, enjoying the desired
recovery without discomfort is also ideal.
Reluctantly, repeated sinus colds
decrease the efficacy of medications and increases the duration of the
treatment. Sufferers often say, "It only took a few days to get healed
with taking medications until last year, but they are no use this year."
I can confidently say with over 20 years
of clinical experience of treating all types of rhinitis including, acute and
chronic rhinitis; hypertrophic and atrophic rhinitis; pricking the nasal mucous
membranes is the most effective way of treating the affected nasal mucosa.
Its sponge-like tissues are prone to
become inflamed with a slight stimulation. The membrane lining of the nose
secrets mucus ceaselessly for the entire life and it can easily swell up than
any other tissues in the body. For that reason, infection induces swelling to
constrict the nostrils.
Although it is preferable to not to
catch a sinus cold in the first place, but once contracted, it is at best to reduce
the swelling of the membranes as soon as possible to retain its elasticity. The
most effective and assuring treatment method is applying the blood-pricking
therapy (or needle-pricking) on the nasal mucosa.
Prolonged inflammation undermines
elasticity of the membranes, which in turn, leads to delay in recovery.
Accordingly, acupuncture is recommended for both acute and chronic rhinitis.
Even in an improving condition, using medications in conjunction with
acupuncture further benefits to ensure complete healing.
In both types of rhinitis,
blood-pricking therapy is the fastest way to reduce the swelling and the only
fundamental approach to resolve blood stasis caused by repeated infections of
the nasal mucous membranes. This applies to other tissues as well; it provides
an effective relief to where affected by repeated infections and frequent
overuse.
With utmost confidence, this is an
extraordinary therapy which effectively restores the ventilation of the nasal
passages and strengthens the nasal mucosa.
Treatment Case 1
· There was a lady patient who traveled an hour and a half to receive
treatments. She underwent a surgery to treat persistent nasal congestion.
Although the surgery served its intended purpose, she started to suffer from
intense headaches and runny nose with yellow purulent exudate, associated with
frequent head colds that she caught every time she went outside. She had to
take a week worth of prescribed regimen of drug therapy to treat the condition.
Eventually, she came to see me after she was diagnosed with sinusitis and was
recommended for another operation. She was afraid to undergo another surgery
and had no other choice but to avoid going outside for 3 years.
She became bedridden after her initial visit. The symptoms became even
more severe when she went outside, due to treated nasal mucosa. After she
barely recovered from it, she came back for another procedure and she fell ill
for days. She suffered after each treatment for the first ten treatments.
One day, she asked me a serious question,
"Dr. Lee, by all means, I may need to do another surgery. I am now required to wear a protective mask that looks like a gas mask when I even go to a grocery store. I found it unbearable. I cannot even go out to meet my friends. The cost I have to bear is too much every time I go out. It may be difficult to be treated with oriental medicine. Perhaps, another surgery provides some relief. Should I go for it?"
Her statement much troubled me. Repeated procedures had not yielded improvement but suffering remained. However, her symptoms do not represent accurate indicants for the operation. She had to blow her nose constantly to remove yellow discharge; this may match the classical symptom of sinusitis. However, taking medicines alleviated her symptoms from time to time, indicating her sinusitis condition was not constant. Suctioning the paranasal sinuses did not indicate the presence of infected fluid. It seemed her condition was contributed from compromised immune system of the nasal mucosa, unable to handle the polluted air in Seoul. I earnestly begged her to reconsider and not to lose hope.

After turning the pages, the therapy made a great progress; a 3-hour
round-trip daily commute to the clinic and home did not cause her to catch a
cold. She finished her treatment in about 20 visits to the clinic. Not so long
after, I received a heartfelt New Year's card. She expressed her gratitude in
the card that I dissuaded her from taking the surgical options. For an entire
year after the treatment, she caught a cold once, but it was nothing. She
became able to enjoy activities that had been previously kept from doing
because of her condition. = )
