Anorexia is treated by treating both the digestive weakness, poor appetite, and any emotional upsets that may be contributing to the problem such as poor self-image. Both acupuncture and moxa will be used. Moxa is good at helping relax a person and tonifying the heart using back shu points. I have also found that Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) works well with acupuncture since they work by very different mechanisms. Also Cranial Electric Strimulation ( CES) can be helpful using frequencies that stimulate serotonin. Sometimes herbs are useful to include in the treatment to increase the appetite and strengthen the digestion.
