USING JAPANESE ACUPUNCTURE FOR MERIDIAN BALANCING

Course overview

The Taiji Yin Yang Balance is a Japanese Acupuncture technique for meridian balancing and structural alignment. In this video recording, Jake Fratkin will begin by sharing with us the basis of Taiji Yin Yang Balance, the pulse positions used in diagnosis for traditional Japanese meridian balancing, and give an introduction to Keiraku Chiryo. Keiraku Chiryo describes a popular school of Japanese acupuncture that concentrates on the diagnosis and treatment of patterns of meridian imbalance. It is believed that treatment of the root imbalance should precede symptomatic treatment, and that doing so enhances efficacy and outcomes. Keiraku Chiryo developed in the 1930s as a revival of classical Nan Jing acupuncture. It’s needle technique is shallow with thin needles, gaining patient trust and comfort. Patterns are determined using specific pulse diagnosis, and points are chosen both by the effect on the pulse as well as point palpation.
