Acute symptons such as anxiety, recent pain, sports injuries, colds, etc., usually require a treatment in a period of three weeks to three months, depending on the severity and frequency of the sessions. Using herbal medicine and acupuncture together probably also speeds up the process. The commitment of a patient in his own recovery is fundamental, that is to say: if he also works to regain harmony, through meditation and the practice of "Chi Kung", for example, he will not only heal sooner, but his achievements will last in time naturally.
