I am an acupuncturist, herbalist, practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, bodyworker, Qigong Instructor and Medical Qigong practitioner. I am interested in five branches of healing. A foundational idea in Chinese medicine is that if you pay attention to Shen (Beingness qualities), breathing, posture and movement, diet and nutrition, then you will not need further medical treatment.

We are thriving in our new location! I'm happy so many familiar faces have scheduled sessions. For those who haven't been in, come by and see our new healing center. As you know, the costs of doing business have increased, and I have not raised my prices for six years, so it is time! Chinese medicine talks of five branches of healing.

A foundational idea in Chinese medicine is that if you pay attention to Shen (Beingness qualities), Qi (breathing, posture and movement), diet and nutrition, then you will most likely not need further medical treatment.But if you do, we have herbs, acupuncture, massage therapies etc. to get you back on track!.

The Bladder channel disperses cold from the exterior by warming the skin via the 'interstices' (the space between the skin and muscles) the 'Cou Li'.
This makes us think of the physiological function of temperature regulation through capillary vasodilation and vasoconstriction.
The Bladder is 'Zhou Du Zhi Guan' The official who is the administrative capital of waterways.
A way to see this is that the bladder enables the Water force to penetrate the Zang organs, (think Shu point system) thereby generating the Jin Ye, the various fluids of the body.
The basis of this argument is that the way the Heart and Pericardium are discussed in the Nei Jing clearly suggests that their division into two organs was not true in all the schools of acupuncture that the Nei Jing is a summation of.
For example in CH. 2 of Ling Shu - when the Heart channel Shu transport points are listed, they are all Pericardium Shu transport points on the Pericardium channel.
So clearly for that author, the Heart channel was then what we would call today the Pericardium channel.
Patients of acupuncture range from infants to senior citizens.
They may be seeking an alternative to Western medicine or it may be their last hope for relief, having exhausted other methods of treatment for a chronic condition.
For increasing numbers of people, an acupuncturist is their first choice of Primary health-care Practitioner - for a low-risk form of treatment with few side effects.
Many California insurance plans include acupuncture treatment in their policies.
Ask your insurer about coverage or reimbursement.
The classes and seminars are divided between Qigong, lecture, guided meditation specific to the subject, demonstration of clinical applications and hands-on practice of clinical skills in a clinical setting.
I have found that this multi-sensorial and levels-of-consciousness approach is the best method of teaching the depth of acupuncture and Chinese medicine.
I have noticed that learning Chinese medicine is a spiral process; you may pass by the same material many times, at each pass integrating more.
