What is the patients overall TCM diagnosis and supporting signs and symptoms (tongue, pulse, etc.). Acupuncture treatments are always based on an overall diagnosis instead of trying to treat symptoms like western medicine does. Generally speaking snoring often has to do with spleen qi deficiency/dampness, although there are many other relevant underlying diagnoses.
