Treatment for the Sick (Feb. 20, 2013)

Hello! So I met with my mentor today and again I was given the treatment  which I feel is a recurring theme as each time I visit Dr. Song I'm the one being practiced on, but nevertheless I am learning more and more about acupuncture each and every time. The first hour that we met was focused more on the actual acupuncture itself. Since I was sick last Thursday (Feb. 14) Dr. Song decided to focus more on helping me recover from being sick. She introduced me to new points on my back that would help speed the recovery process. There is one the is great for fighting sickness, headaches, stress, for older folks hypertension and much more. That point is called the GB 20 (part of the gallbladder channel) and located just at the base of the back of the head. Another point that Dr. Song pointed out was the PC 6 (? the names escape me because  they were in Chinese) located on the inside of the forearm, which again held many benefits for someone when they're sick  or need the benefits it yields when chi moves through that specific point. There are many other points that Dr. Song told me about and introduced me to, but for intents and purposes I'll spare the names since they're in Mandarin and the fact that most of you guys reading will most likely skip over them.
