Conditions Acupuncture Can Treat

Over the course of more than 2000 years, traditional Chinese physicians identified many conditions acupuncture, herbal medicine, or diet can treat.

Chinese physicians identified, understood, and treated thyroid disorders, diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and many other conditions hundreds of years before European physicians. You can learn more about this by reading The Genius of China: 3,000 Years of Science, Discovery, and Invention by Robert Temple.
