Guest guest Posted March 28, 1999 Report Share Posted March 28, 1999 Hi, i wonder if there is any evidence that acupuncture has been effective against nearsightedness, or other eye-disabilities? Does anyone have information on the subject? thanks /jake ------------------- Yesbox är en e-posttjänst som inte bara är gratis - du får dessutom bonuspoäng - http://www.yesbox.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also mentioned that in China the children do regular eye exercises which includes rubbing various points around the eye and that this appears to be effective. if you're interested in some point formula I can supply you with what I've got Tanya Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never got any specifics on the pressure points. With acupuncture a couple of point formulas i've got suggest: BL23, Co6, Du19, BL2, BL60 or, St1, St2, St36, Co4, BL1 This may or may not be helpful to you. If i find out where you can get more specifics on acupressure points for near sightedness i'll let you know Tanya Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot for your advice! Actually I´m very interested in the subject, and would be interested in the actíve points for pressure for nearsightedness etc. Is it on the net? I live in sweden so snail-mail could be rather expensive... thanks /jake ------------------- Yesbox är en e-posttjänst som inte bara är gratis - du får dessutom bonuspoäng - http://www.yesbox.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
