ACU POINTS for swallowing problems

In Chinese Medicine you don’t treat the symptom you treat the underlying diagnostic pattern. So, first you would obtain their diagnosis in Chinese Medicine terms - (see “treating the cause vs. the symptoms”) for more on that.

Even from a western perspective you would need to know why - MS, ALS, other autoimmune conditions, digestive issues, born with a smaller esophagus, allergies, etc. Then that guides your treatment.
