Bugeja tried acupuncture for the first time after an acquaintance had recommended it. He now is a fan of it for friends with similar issues, even if they’re scared of needles.

In the last week of December, he was forced to stay three days in bed and for 14 days in quarantine in his home after getting infected with COVID-19. But, even after his recovery his cough, he was still suffering and felt extremely fatiguedand even the climb up a staircase was too much for him.

After he recommenced treatment at the MRCTCM to treat his sciatica physician, Zhou Lingyun, suggested the use of acupuncture to treat the cough and help restore power.

“I didn’t take any medication and my cough was gone,” Bugeja said.

Concerning sciatica His previous doctors had informed him that they would need to endure the pain and had accepted that. The medications he was prescribed resulted in anxiety and caused stomach upset. There was nothing that worked, aside from Chinese medicine.

He was once interested in Asian culture, and had heard about TCM. He said, however:

“I didn’t think I’d ever use it,” he said. “Now I advise people to visit the Chinese clinic and you’ll be fine.” #
