Anosmia

Witness : Su Xiangjun

Symptom : Anosmia

I used to have a keen sense of smell. However, I gradually lost it around three to four years ago. I visited several Chinese and Western medicine doctors, but all of these visits were to no avail. Most Western medicine doctors prescribed steroids to me. Later on, I tried Chinese medicine instead. I even visited a renowned doctor in Taichung. The symptoms improved after the treatments. The travel distance was very long, however; each time, I had to take the high-speed rail and transit via a taxi. It really was a hassle. I eventually gave up going there for the treatments, but since I had to cook regularly, it was dangerous not to be able to smell any potential gas leakage.

        On my friend’s referral, I visited Dr. Wen. At the beginning, I just wanted to give it a go. However, after three acupuncture sessions on my scalp, a large amount of nasal mucus was discharged. My sense of smell was gradually restored, and the ringing in my ears was also alleviated. I was extremely grateful for Dr. Wen’s treatments. Now, every time I go to visit Dr. Wen’s clinic, it’s an enjoyable experience for me. Having needles inserted in my scalp has not only cured my illness but has also relieved any fatigue.
