Treatment by Acupuncture: Infantile Eczema

The treatment of infantile eczema is, for the acupuncturist, both very simple and very complicated. It is very simple in that there is only a small number of points which are useful, and complicated in that it is often difficult both to diagnose, and to elucidate the cause, whether physical or emotional, due to immunisation etc. In addition, the response to acupuncture is very variable, with some children being cured almost instantly, and others, after a promising start, never seeming to get completely better
