I had my sixth and last acupuncture treatment the second week of October. As of today I don't feel any difference in the saliva output. In fact as winter arrives in Duluth with the low humidity I am finding the increased dryness I've come to expect this time of year. At this point I think it is unlikely that I will have any improvement. Actually I'm sure it was always unlikely but I was willing to try it and tried hard to believe it would work - I'd be happy to settle for placebo effect if I felt better. The best result I have had was sitting in a steam room while on a cruise last winter. It was wonderful to feel moisture. Our next remodeling project may include a steam shower.
