I have not had to go back since the second round of treatments. As I mentioned, I still occasionally feel it to a minor degree, but it's not often, prolonged, or bad. The first time was maybe 10-12 treatments over 3+ months, and the second was maybe half that. It's been several years, so timelines aren't clear anymore. No herbs, no moxa, just needles. I know that not everything works for everybody, but this worked for me. I hope it does for you, 'cause that BMS can be a real bitch!
