Moxibustion Treatment

Tinnitus, Deafness

Symptom Analysis

Tinnitus is the perception of noise or ringing in the ears, which interferes with hearing; deafness refers to a varying degree of hearing loss, and in severe cases, it is referred to as "deafness." Those with milder hearing loss are sometimes referred to as having "hard of hearing."

Treatment Course

It is recommended to perform moxibustion once a day, targeting 2 to 3 acupoints each time, with each acupoint being treated for 30 to 40 minutes.   Rotate the points treated, with a 10-day period constituting one course of treatment, and then rest for 2 to 3 days before continuing with the next course.

(If time permits and there is a need, more acupoints can be treated with moxibustion.   The specific duration should be adjusted according to one's own physical needs.)
