Stress relief: the symptoms of stress, their cause, treatment and prevention.
This video describes the causes of stress, how the symptoms are produced in your body, and how to relieve stress. It focuses on acupuncture treatment, but I also demonstrate some acupressure points for stress. You can use these on yourself to ease, or help prevent the symptoms of stress.

This channel avoids the mumbo jumbo that is usually used to explain acupuncture. Instead, terms and concepts are used that are familiar to Westerners. The explanations rely on the intelligent tissue theory, which is a new explanation for acupuncture, developed over many years by an experienced Chinese Medicine acupuncturist (myself) who is also trained in a range of sciences.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
The following is an inexpensive book that is aimed at the general reader and gives a good overview of acupuncture, what it can treat and how it works:

The “resonance” between an organ and its meridian locations, is explained by the intelligent tissue theory. I will cover this is greater detail in other videos; but for those wanting the full explanation, please see Chapters 17-20 in the following book:

Chinese acupuncturists often use the term “chi”. In another video I will explain how this term came about, and how it relates to the intelligent tissue theory.

WHAT ARE THE “MERIDIANS”?
