Professional acupuncturist here. First of all, I am sorry about your mum and really hope she feels better soon.

Unfortunately, long Covid is a very poorly understood condition, and this includes both allopathic medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Having said that, there are some acupuncturists that are having very good results, particularly if they are also using herbs. I would encourage you to shop around and ask them directly about their experience with long Covid. For example, I have had very mixed results so I am always very cautious before accepting a long Covid patient. You can find a register of British Acupuncture Council practitioners at acupuncture.org.uk

I wish your mum the best.
