That is pretty interesting. In a prior life I had a lot of involvement in convincing insurance companies to accept traditional Asian medicinal treatments as an accepted form of treatment. Acupuncture, teas and acupressure as treatments for physical injuries were not really accepted here.
That being said, while my eyes had been opened to a lot of different Asian treatments, that is one I never heard of. I wonder how I would have dealt with it if that came across my desk.
