Deep vein thrombosis

Comment by Chad J. Dupuis, L.Ac.

Is the person on blood thinners? And what is the purpose of asking for the points - are you an acupuncturist? or just curious? The reason I ask is you have to be particularly careful with DVT’s and at times herbal medicine is better overall than acupuncture. Even that, however, gets complicated if they are on western drugs. Either way you have to be careful. Generally the easiest is to work on general qi and blood circulation using points appropriate to their underlying diagnosis.
