Relief from IBS in the bluebell woods
Channel: Curepoint Acupuncture
Date: 22/04/2020

This video describes the causes of IBS, which organs are affected, and how Chinese acupuncture successfully treats this today.

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 CONFUSION BETWEEN THE PANCREAS AND SPLEEN IN CHINESE MEDICINE
The earliest surviving scripts that record the main Chinese Medicine knowledge, date back to around 200 BC. At that time, the internal organs had been identified and named. However, the spleen was mistakenly thought to be the major digestive organ, associated with the stomach, while the pancreas was overlooked. But in fact, it is the pancreas that serves this function, and the spleen plays no part in digestion. Unfortunately, this mistake has been perpetuated to today, and in Chinese Medicine, whenever the pancreas is referred to, it is known as the spleen. Hopefully, this mistake will soon be corrected in textbooks, and in Chinese Medicine clinics. For a fuller discussion, see pages 61-63 in the following book:

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.
