Q I find it hard to come often due to work. How many visits are realistically needed for diarrhea treatment?
A You do not need to come every day. Treatment typically involves acupuncture and moxibustion 1-2 times per week, combined with daily herbal medicine at home, so even busy people can continue treatment without disrupting daily life.
Detailed Answer
The treatment frequency is adjusted to match the acute or chronic nature of the diarrhea and the patient's lifestyle. Usually visiting 1-2 times per week for acupuncture and moxibustion to regulate bowel movement, while taking prescribed herbal medicine at home every day, is the standard approach — making it easy even for those who have difficulty finding time.
