Description
When you have acupuncture, do you sometimes wonder…
- How your acupuncturist decides WHICH needles to use, and WHERE?
- What your diagnosis means?
- What are they doing exactly with your pulses?
- Why is all this different from another acupuncturist you saw before?
- Or from that dry needler you went to one time?
This course, Understanding Acupuncture, is here to answer these questions and more. It covers:
- What is acupuncture?
- Acupuncture points and channels
- Key concepts in Chinese Medicine
- Illness in Chinese Medicine
- Diagnosis
- Tongues and pulses
- What's it like having acupuncture
- How to choose the right acupuncturist for you
The course talks you through the process and analysis your acupuncture practitioner is going through, from when you arrive at their clinic, to when they take the needles out at the end of your treatment. Why they're asking the questions they're asking, what else they're looking at (and listening to, and smelling for!), and how they build that into your individual diagnosis and treatment plan. From tongues and pulses, to Yin and Yang, to selecting the right acupuncture points for you, and why they're needling them in the way that they do.
Chinese Medicine looks at health and the body through a very different lens to the conventional Western medical approach we are used to. Here's your chance to start to understand this ancient and beautiful system of understanding the body, illness, and how to cultivate wellbeing.
