Phillippe Siounneau is not a well known name here in Israel.
If practitioners know him, it’s mainly for his books, but that’s about it.
A few years ago I thought that having an interview with him would be a good way to get to know him, and indeed we exchanged e-mails, in which he appeared very kind [...]

Truth should be told- studying for exams is never fun.
Who wants to be inside the house studying when you can be watching the new Indiana Jones movie? Or having coffee with a friend?
If you ask me, if I got to choose between writing a paper and an exam I’d take writing a paper any time.
Writing a [...]

Don’t tell Eric, but one of the reasons I started blogging in English is the inspiration I got from Deepest Health. And I still am very inspired by Eric and his writing, mainly because I find so much information on his blog that I’ve been looking about CM.
Also, after meeting Heiner Fruehauf in 3 lectures, [...]

…Or to be more precise- Ian Brown and the Fire Element in Chinese Medicine.
May 31st marks the first ever performance of Ian Brown in Israel.
If you don’t know, Israel is not a place where we get many performances by wonderful artists such as Ian Brown. Security issues are always clouding potential visits from rock gods- even if [...]

Tong Ze Bu Tong, Bu Tong Ze Tong- so claims an old wise Chinese saying- free flow- no pain; no free flow- pain.
One of the first things on which Chinese Medicine is based upon is the free flow of Qi and Blood in the body.
Gua Sha is a 5,000 year old technique, and by applying it [...]

Before the ICCM started, as I knew Julian Scott will be one of the guest speakers, I decided to Google Julian and see what I come up with.
The results were interesting:
Julian Scott- a composer of music for films and such, and even scores music for the Olympic games in Beijing! But the more I look [...]

During the second Israeli Congress of Chinese Medicine (ICCM), we had a lecture and seminar with Barbara Kirschbaum.
If there will ever be a need to describe the term “cool chick”, Barbara Kirschbaum would easily be the first candidate that comes to my mind.
As fate wanted it, I suddenly found myself on a lunch date with [...]

At the end of March, it was reported a woman in her late 20’s lost her life from liver failure, a side effect of the Chinese drug called Jin Bu Huan.
This of course immediately sent me to Google the drug, which in the media was called Chinese herb. I talked with various herbalists here in [...]

Today I want to talk about the foundations of pregnancy.
This is an article I wrote in Hebrew, and is the first part of 2 articles about pregnancy.
I read a lot about the 8 Extraordinary Meridians (some called it an obsession…hmmm…) as I was fascinated by them (aren’t everybody??), and studied more about Gynecology and found [...]

Yes, it’s time for part 3 of the “magical mystery tour” aka The Heiner Experience.
It is almost a month since Heiner visited Israel and his lectures and the whole vibe still echos in my heart and brain. I came to the point of frustration (will bring you up-to-date about that in a later post), knowing that [...]
