acupuncture treatment.
Methods: The authors mainly performed infrared irradiation while acupuncturing nasal and bilateral Yeonghyang-hyeol (çÊ
úÅúë, LI20) in two patients with olfactory disorder. In addition, nasal lasers were irradiated for 5 minutes, these help to communicate meridians and control chi-shue (Ѩ-úì). Depending on the sub-symptoms of each patient, we were acupuncturing Indang-hyeol (ìÔÓÑúë) or herbal medicine treatment which is Hyunggaeyungyo-tang (ûªËÎÖ¥ Îî÷·), Bangpungtongsungsan (ÛÁù¦÷×á¡ß¤), Gamiygin-tang (Ê¥Ú«ì£òç÷·) was also performed.
Results: The patient's nasal symptoms were alleviated by intranasal acupuncture treatment.
Conclusions: There are no clinical studies in regards to acupuncture treatment in olfactory disorder so far. However, this study demonstrated positive health outcomes on olfactory disorder from intranasal acupuncture treatment.
