When systemic balance is restored, symptoms disappear and greater overall health is achieved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;\">References<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;\">Kim SH, Jeong JH, Lim JH, Kim BK.
