Generally speaking, the time required for acupuncture therapy to treat coldness in the body is determined by the patient's constitution and condition. If the patient has a relatively strong constitution, is relatively young, and has been exposed to cold for a relatively short time, the time required is relatively short. However, if the patient is old and frail or has insufficient yang energy and has been exposed to cold for a long time, the time required will be relatively long.

Acupuncture therapy often uses moxibustion to treat severe cold in the body. If the local area is affected by wind and cold, but the patient is young and has a relatively good constitution, the cold will be effective in as short as 3 to 5 days.
