I think your confusion comes from not fully understanding the difference between the western and the eastern idea behind 'strenghtening' the body and achieving good health.In the West most people place importance on strengthening the external and material (generally the...
I agree with both Chad and Feng, sounds like the points you're using only give you temporary relief so you need other points to resolve the root of the problem. Don't be afraid to ask your practitioner, I believe s/he...
I might add to this that as Chad and Feng pointed it out, the Yellow Emperor's classic was written over 2,000 years ago when most people didn't need exercise as we speak of today, in those times people were active...
If it had happened shortly after your dentist treatment I would check on that. Did you tell the MD that you had the dental treatment? If not, I would go back and let him know about it but if you...
Olfactory nerves still continue to grow throughout life, you should seek help to try to recover as much as possible, and help assist further growth. Acupuncture can assist with this.
Ovarian cycts are fairly common and most do not need treatment - they go away by themselves - however they should be monitored if they remain present long term. Other than that the only time you really need to worry...
Your lungs in the upper Jiao generate the 'pectoral Qi', this is from the air we breath in - the lungs also dominate the Qi of the entire body. Your stomach/spleen generate 'acquired Qi' from digesting and transforming food and...
I believe it can be 'frightening' all of a sudden to be alone, I think the best if you keep in contact with others and I have been here on Chad's site for years and can tell you that a...
Wow ... your school is very different from mine, but sounds legitimate. I am very surprised Newmoon that they don't teach about possible nerve damages. In our school we had to learn the nerves surrunding each of the points to...
I am also stunned by this, and like Chad said, don't take this as an offence but how do they teach at the university you attended? I am also a student and we have ongoing clinical practice with patients under...
Very well said Yeoman, all too often I see acupuncturists hasitate or back down because an MD or someone - with MUCH less knowledge and experience - has an opinion about our treatment or techniques. Even as a student I...
I have to agree with Chad, even as a practitioner it is not a good idea to try treating yourself. I also recommend chi kung which keep your chi in the meridians circulating as well as helps removing stagnation caused...
I also looked around in Europe, mostly in the Germany speaking countries - I had a few years of German in highschool and college - and I also didn't see a school there that specialized just in TCM/acupuncture. What I...
Hi Feng, I am just a student but got a little hung up when you suggested using heat lamp. Did you mean to use the lamp on the knee or at a distant point? From Marian's original post I read...
I would also like to comment that even though I am merely a student often get surprised to read already licensed acupuncturists hesitating or avoiding giving certain treatments that they feel is best for their patients because of someone's incorrect...
Thank you for the clarification Feng. I assume the 24 hours is generalization and the lamp is used right after the swelling is gone. I understand the use of it now, thank you for your explanation. Blade~
In case of martial art points, internal treatment is essential for treatment. This can only be done by using points that neutralize the effect of the deadly points, the effects are not treatable simply by 'generic' herb solutions - it...
Honestly Elena I never researched the difference between the American and the Egyptian licorice, I simply purchase the Egyptian kind because the supplier I get a discount from only sells this one. If you start drinking the kombucha tea, a...
Elena and I discussed this matter, she sent me photos of her injuries as well as detailed description of other marks not presented on the photos. She also told me how the attack took place and when. After examining the...
I am a long time fan of herbal teas and I would also recommend drinking Egyptian Licorice tea, it also helps killing the harmful bacterias that cause intestinal ulcers as well as it helps strengtening the intestinal walls. The tea...
Chi kung (also written as Qigong) is also a great way to help heal the body and prevent illnesses. Of course this form of exercise too requires a qualified instructor and does take some time to learn but once you...
Hi Elena, Even as martial artists I have to say it is just insane what this person did to you and have absolutely no comprehension as to how she is still living a free life and walking amongst people every...
Elena, from your description I feel pretty safe to say you have nothing to worry about. I am one of the lucky very few people who have been introduced to what is called the 'Death Touch' - or Dim Mak...
