I am a former practitioner of Oriental Medicine. In Japan I ran my own clinic where I both prescribed herbal medicine and did acupuncture and moxa. This is an index post of my experiences and thoughts about Oriental Medicine (AKA: Traditional Chinese Medicine).

only thing that worked for my sinus and allergy problems. didn’t like the haze the prescriptions left me in, and they wouldn’t prevent the sinus infections anyway. since starting accupuncture and the health plan laid out by my doctor, haven’t had a problem with either.
I read through this series today. I think I was reading the Acupuncture Success for the second time. Anyway, that “magical” intro sank the hook in me. So when are you going to continue the series? I want to hear the tales of you working your own magic, beyond the basic acupuncture.
@ The Wise Fool,
I am a bad blogger — I don’t discipline myself to write, but write when I am inspired. The planned post on “Building Magic into my Acupuncture” came to me but the details and method of telling a short version are coming slowly. Mostly, I usually tell these stories with demonstrations — changing that into words is an obstacle. But your not inspires me. So I will slowly try. Another obstacle — no one likes long posts, so I am trying to break them up into sections. Lastly, I am impulsive: I go with whatever inspires me (now the Ramayana) until the muses quiet in my heart — so I get distracted easily and then forget. You should have seen me as a kid! Thanks for the encouragement mate.
@ Luke (zero1ghost), I treated my brother’s sinus issues and it also helped.
