Chinese medicine is an over 3000 year old science, so trying to wrap our brains around what it is and why it works can be confusing and overwhelming. To help break it down, Open Circle Acupuncture will be offering Acupuncture 101, a one-night class designed to help you understand the WHAT and the WHY behind this ancient medicine. In a fun, practical and personal way they will look at what Chinese medicine is and how it relates to modern science and today’s medicine.
The class will attempt to answer the following questions:
- What is Qi (pronounced chee) and how does it ‘flow’ in my body?
- What are the meridians and what importance to they hold?
- What is yin and yang?
- What are the 5-Elements and how do they apply to me and my body?
- What is actually happening in the physical body during acupuncture?
- What is the state of research about HOW this medicine works?
The event will be held on January 23rd from 6:30-8:00 PM at Open Circle Acupuncture. Tickets are available at here. Feel free to bring a friend or family member who might be thinking about trying acupuncture, but wants to know more about what it is first!
