For the ADHD, meditate For asthma, L-Arginine or coffee. Coffee promotes the growth hormone arginine Arginine is such a reliable GH releaser that it is used to test for GH deficiency in children. Arginine also promotes nitrous oxide which relaxes blood vessels and it's full of antioxidants. Relaxed blood vessels promotes better breathing. For acid reflux/GERD: try papaya supplements For meralgia paresthetica: If caused by mechanical factors, such as compressive clothing, belts, obesity, and pregnancy. Try wearing loose clothes, lose the belt and the weight or have that baby. I try and avoid more medications, as I have many problems by being over medicated for so long. My condition is terminal, where as these may be treated. I have had acupuncture for eight herniated discs in my spine. Ouch! It did absolutely nothing, but run up a huge bill. I do herbal remedies when at all possible and I hope you at least try them. Good health to you!

Acupressure treats the body as an energy system and works to relieve a persons individual symptoms by identifying and releasing 'blocked', or 'congested' energy centres in the body. These 'energy centres' are also called acupoints. These energy centres, or acupoints are found on energy 'pathways' called meridians, as with traditional acupuncture, and their 'condition' is seen to be central to all treatments.

I believe so but it depends upon the kind of illness that is to be treated. I think these practices could not improve conditions of all kinds of ailments. For me, I don't like to try these because I am afraid.
