I remember posting my response about acupuncture stimulating saliva. In Hong Kong, acupuncture is very popular and I did go for it for about 6 months after radiation. My acupuncturist told me that this treatment has little effect, if any, on saliva function. I went there to improve my nervous system of my hands only. Marica, you may give it a try if it is not expensive. Don't put too much hope on it.
