I read here about acupuncture helping improve saliva production. I don't recall seeing number of treatments.

Is there a prevailing estimate of the number of treatments one needs for even some improvement?

I am on #5 I think. The doc said ten then see what is happening. He is also working on my BP in the same session.

Same for zinc and tastebudes. I read you can only do 3 times a day 50mg for 20 days..... Then what?
