Moxibustion for Tendonitis

The following case story is from one of our clients.
 

 

I developed tendonitis causing a big hard lump and causing pains and restricting movement in my right arm three years ago.
 

After 3 months of treatment of massage oil and rotating a heated moxa herb stick around the affected area, the inflammation has gone and the flexibility has returned to my arm.
 

Chinese herbal medicine certainly worked for me. I would recommend any sufferer to visit my practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine  Wei Wang.
