When the Chinese-Aided TCM Anti-epidemic Expert Team arrived in Cambodia, the situation was very severe. The Pulmonary Department of Cosma Hospital took the initiative to come to the TCM outpatient clinic and requested to cooperate with the Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion to treat COVID-19 and lung diseases.
"This fully reflects the expectations of local hospitals for acupuncture therapy." Jiang Ke said.
During the period of aid to Cambodia, the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Kosma China-Cambodia Friendship Hospital implemented an outpatient appointment system. As a doctor of acupuncture and moxibustion and a postdoctoral fellow in traditional Chinese medicine, Jiang Ke can relieve the pain of patients with superb medical skills, so that Cambodian patients can truly experience the benefits of acupuncture and moxibustion. The characteristic curative effect, soon after, acupuncture appointments were "hard to find", and local people, including many senior Cambodian government officials, came here to experience acupuncture treatment.
"The reason why this phenomenon occurs so quickly is that there is no substitute for acupuncture." Jiang Ke said, for example, for facial neuritis, acupuncture is the most important treatment method. Under normal circumstances, drugs and other treatment methods are not as effective as acupuncture and moxibustion. .
At the same time, the characteristics and advantages of acupuncture are quick results.
For some osteoarthritis, such as cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis, sciatica, the symptoms of pain, stiffness and numbness can be relieved a lot after piercing, and pain-related diseases such as trigeminal neuralgia and migraine can be relieved after piercing, Another example is internal diseases such as stomach problems - stomach bloating and stomach pain, and acupuncture therapy also has the characteristics of quick results.

When she heard that the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Cosma Hospital opened a clinic, she urged Mr. Li to bring her to see the doctor.
Anna has severe rhinitis, and each episode of rhinitis causes severe migraine headaches that last 2-3 days and are difficult to relieve and very painful.
On March 30, Mr. Li brought Anna to the hospital. After inquiring about her condition in detail, Jiang Ke gave Anna the first acupuncture treatment for chronic rhinitis, and informed her in detail the precautions.
4 days later, Mr. Li brought Anna to the acupuncture department again, saying that the rhinitis after the last acupuncture was significantly relieved, and there was no migraine attack for 4 consecutive days, and he wanted to continue the treatment.
