Question
My wife recently gave birth and stayed in the hospital for a while. We noticed that our baby has a bit of jaundice. I’ve heard that acupuncture can help clear the jaundice. How should we perform acupuncture for our baby’s jaundice?
Answer
Acupuncture is not effective when treating newborn jaundice. The primary treatment is blue light therapy, and gallbladder function tests may be necessary if required, to determine the cause of the jaundice.
