Puncturing Acupuncture

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been around a long time.  Acupuncture is one modality that falls under the framework of TCM. I like to explain it in physiological terms that most people can relate to, hence my choosing Modern Edge Acupuncture as my business name.  Fellow acupuncturist and functional medicine practitioner, Chris Kresser, wrote a series of articles a few years back that he entitled, Chinese Medicine Demystified.  Instead of regurgitating what he so eloquently put together, I will send you over to his site to check them out. It is a 6 part series, that goes like this:
  • Chinese Medicine Demystified (Part I): A Case of Mistaken Identity
  • Chinese Medicine Demystified (Part II): Origins of the Energy Meridian Myth
  • Chinese Medicine Demystified (Part III): The “Energy Meridian” Model Debunked
  • Chinese Medicine Demystified (Part IV): A Closer Look At How Acupuncture Relieves Pain
  • Chinese Medicine Demystified (Part V): A Closer Look At How Acupuncture Relieves Pain
  • Chinese Medicine Demystified (Part VI): 5 Ways Acupuncture Can Help You Where Drugs and Surgery Can’t

Those that would like a western medicine explanation of how acupuncture influences the body will be delighted reading these articles.  If you are more into the energy "Qi" explanation you may find this information not inclusive, but informative none the less.  Be careful, you may learn something ;-D

    I could ramble on about acupuncture and Chinese medicine, and I probably will....but I also would like to share other things..... Positive things!  There's so much bad news out there and that can negatively effect our health; mentally, emotionally,and physically.  So let's lighten things up a bit over here!
