I wanted to see what TCM herbs would be suggested for mindfulness? I'm dissociated to the point of it being a problem. I know when I remind myself to be present this helps a lot, specifically by talking out loud. The problem is it causes shortness of breath. I appreciate any help in advance. Thank…
Hi, I saw a new acupuncturist the other day. She mentioned she hit a blood vessel and I'd have a small bruise. Location is below belly button. When I arrived home I found a needle still in place above belly button. I feel like it may have gone deeper than originally placed. I'm not real sure. I had…
I have a new patirent who is starting radiation for prostate cancer. Are there any points that would be helpful?
Hi Rob, I personally prefer to air on the side of caution when prescribing herbs to elderly folks. There's always exceptions of course, but what you typically see in this class of patients is that they are already taking a lot of medications and/or supplements and the organ function is in a waning…

in addition to needle pricking, which changes certain vibrations in the body, other aspects must be present - such as compassion, experience, love. if we read about the study of the heart institute, everything will become clear.
There are entire books on the range of uses for cupping, along with when it shouldn't be used, etc. So providing all of that in a single comment would be difficult. Most of the general rules can be found in our Japanese acupuncture cupping section. If there is anything lacking or that needs mor…
I ask those with experience and specialists to explain how cupping works in each of the different types (by explaining the theories) and what the therapist should avoid in some cases and some points. Thank you, we always use you.
This school is simply the best, the teachings are top notch and every minutes about this school, worth it .
