Did you ever wonder what points you could utilize on yourself to treat various conditions? Do you know where the points are exactly? Locating points correctly will provide better results. Books and charts of point location for the public tend to be vague and imprecise. Professional books and charts for acupuncturists are more specific yet don't account for individual differences. Did you know that the actual points are often not where even a good book says they are? Book locations are a starting point for where to find the actual point by palpation. Points migrate with pathologies and have evolved differently in different cultures and are located differently in China versus Japan for instance. Learn pro tips for locating the real point on yourself or someone else from international acupuncture expert, Virginia Doran. This class will include ample time for locating points, not just lecture. Knowledge of meridians or Chinese medicine and theory is not necessary for attendance.
Some of the conditions covered will be: headaches of various types, indigestion, constipation, loose stools, sinus issues, water retention, hormonal balance, hot flashes..
Empower yourself and help others with the time tested wisdom from this ancient medical system.
