The professor also shared two videos, one on blood letting and one on fire needling. I have uploaded the one on blood letting for those who are interested. Here is a clip from a lecture on how to use scarring moxa: This lecture was awesome!! I was fascinated to learn about the many clinical applications for Ren 8 not taught in the United States.

I really enjoyed learning about flash cupping, paper moxa, and scarring moxa as alternate techniques to stimulate the point.  Today's lecture was on pediatrics and herbal medicine. This lecture was interesting to me because it confirmed some of the diagnostic skills and formulas I am currently learning about in my morning pediatric rotation. I am especially looking forward to using this with my new niece/nephew who is on the way... Lecture is held in the afternoons for three hours and is taught by one of the practicing doctors at the hospital. Our first lecture was on "Acupuncture treating Tension Headache by Dr. Zhao Zhengyu.      |
