Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hi from a windy UK I have been a bit of a lurker lately, but wondered if you could help with something....? Has anyone ever tried acupuncture to help with pruritis? My husband had this brainwave and I was wondering if anyone had any experiences they could share? Thanks and kind regards, Kym Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the early 90's when I first experienced itching I did try acupuncture. The experience was pleasant and gave me temporary relief but no more than a light brushing of my skin would do. The drugs I had available at that time didn't do much either. Years later I found rifampin provided relief at a much lower cost.
