A dementia patient, wheeled into the clinic by a caregiver, was initially unresponsive, ignoring conversations and avoiding eye contact. After treatment with Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture, he showed promising progress: his gaze began tracking the acupuncturist’s movements, and he rose from his wheelchair to open a door. Though modest, these improvements filled his family with joy.
Another patient, struggling with unclear speech due to damage in the brain’s language area, experienced stabilization of their condition following acupuncture. Recently, the patient’s speech and pronunciation have also become markedly clearer.
