Title: TCM for clusters
Post by Plakatboy on Sep 12^th, 2005, 2:41am

Hi,

cx out this link:

With the favourable reply from using Kudzu, anyone tried acupuncture with reasonable success?

Don't want to waste money/effort on this if its proven useless before.

Cheers.

Hi. Everyone here who's tried it (including myself) says it's useless for CH. Kudzu works in 2 ways. It has calcium channel blocking properties like verapamil, and has an effect on the 5ht receptors in the brain, like triptans.
