Diagnosis: Breast nodules, thyroid nodules, panic attacks, infertility

"I came to Dr. Tutu's acupuncture clinic in the lowest of spirits. I could not have children although I wished it from the bottom of my heart and I took several hormonal treatments, yet unsuccessfully. The colitis I had suffered from for several months had aggravated: anything I ate, I grew distended and I always had to be near a toilet. My breast nodules ached more often and badly; wearing a bra had become an extremely annoying torture. As for sleeping on my belly, it was absolutely out of question. At every effort or excitement I began to have palpitations and very strong thrills: the doctors told me it was because of my thyroid nodules. In time, the sensations turned into panic attacks and I no longer knew myself and what I had become.

Dr. Tutu recommended me acupuncture, phytotherapy and medical psychological counseling. With every acupuncture session I started feeling better; I started eating and – what is more – even with a lot of appetite. The psychological counseling sessions had a very great impact on the way I saw myself. I regained my self confidence and I rediscovered the force that had helped me go through so many troubles. The panic attacks vanished little by little and I could sleep peacefully. My efficiency at work increased and I was promoted for my results. My breast pains ceased and my sleep became restful again.

After a few months I got pregnant and I had a normal pregnancy. My husband is very happy and we enjoy every moment with our little girl."
