Acupuncture Treatment For A Skin Rash

For skin disorders, acupuncture treatment is considered to be an effective treatment.  Acupuncture will promote the flow of blood and qi. The improvement of the flow of blood and qi can greatly benefit the skin. Acupuncture treatment at some acupoints will increase the production of endorphins and also induce the immune and endocrine systems. For a skin rash the acupuncturist will target the acupoints along the arms, legs, and torso. After being inserted, the needles will stay in for between 10 minutes and 1 hour. Heat or electricity also may be applied at the treatment session.
