Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to report the case of an olfactory disorder in two patients combined by intranasal acupuncture treatment. Methods The authors mainly performed infrared irradiation while acupuncturing nasal and bilateral Yeonghyang-hyeol (迎香穴, LI20) in two patients with olfactory disorder. In addition, nasal lasers were irradiated for 5 minutes, these help to communicate meridians and control chi-shue (氣-血). Depending on the sub-symptoms of each patient, we were acupuncturing Indang-hyeol (印堂穴) or herbal medicine treatment which is Hyunggaeyungyo-tang (荊芥蓮翹湯), Bangpungtongsungsan (防風通聖散), Gamiygin-tang (加味二陳湯) was also performed. Results The patient's nasal symptoms were alleviated by intranasal acupuncture treatment. Conclusions There are no clinical studies in regards to acupuncture treatment in olfactory disorder so far. However, this study demonstrated positive health outcomes on olfactory disorder from intranasal acupuncture treatment.
