Can acupuncture cure stomach cold?

  Patient: Description of condition (onset time, main symptoms, hospital visited, etc.): Dr. Sun: Hello. My mother has chronic superficial atrophic gastritis for dozens of years, during which she has seen many large hospitals, and her superficial and atrophic symptoms have improved, but when the seasons change or the weather is cold, or when she stays in an air-conditioned room, her stomach is afraid of cold, and her stomach cold symptoms are more serious, can be cured by acupuncture?  Sun Deli, Department of Acupuncture, Shanghai Longhua Hospital: Stomach cold can be treated with acupuncture, especially warm acupuncture is more effective. You can also take herbal medicine to warm the middle and disperse the cold.  Patient: Thank you very much Dr. Sun, your words have given me and my mom confidence. My mom has been in Qunli herbal store (taking Chinese herbs) Shuguang Hospital (seeing Cai Gan for Chinese medicine) and Renji Hospital (seeing Western medicine), but her stomach cold symptoms have not improved. I want to take my mom to Longhua Hospital to see you, but it says on the internet that you have supported Yunnan, who is better to see at Longhua Hospital? And I heard that moxa smoking or cupping can treat it?  Dr. Sun Deli, Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Longhua Hospital, Shanghai, China: Moxibustion of the foot three li and the middle epigastric point is very effective in treating stomach problems.  Patient: Thank you very much Dr. Sun!
