Recent acupuncture research in Asia and Europe has led to developments of the optimal utilization of auricular acupuncture for selective control of different types of pain problems. Learn about the differential correspondence of internal visceral disorders to the central concha of the ear, musculoskeletal problems to the surrounding antihelix on the auricle, and neurological pain problems to the outer helix and lobe of the ear. Essential methods to open chakras will be taught in this daily workshop. With the help of chakra flow meditation, awareness moves into the space of the chakras creating an opening and flow of the life force. Direct method of energy diagnosis with hand and third eye chakras will be presented and exercised.
Chinese textbooks emphasize the tight, choppy and stirring pulses as indicators of pain.
However, the tight and stirring pulses are not commonly seen in Western clinical practice, as many practitioners are not clear on what a choppy pulse feels like and what it really means. A patient can often deny pain, but the face never lies. Learn how to read the signs, sources and kinds of pain on your patients faces. This lecture will detail the Western anatomy of the face and correlate this to the acupuncture points used to affect specific muscles and nerves. Participants will also learn the differential diagnoses of facial pain conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia.
