Chinese Medicine Notes

Abdominal Acupuncture (Fu Zhen)

Posted on August 23, 2008 by Yael6 Comments

Tuvia Scott has been one of my teachers during the 3rd year.
Or was it the 4th year?
At any rate, he was one of the nicest teachers to ever walk our school. He’s also one of the busiest practitioners that I know of here in Israel- with teaching, having his own clinics and traveling to China almost every year, to learn more and practice Caligraphy.
Tuvia has this attraction for acupuncture systems that work on certain parts of the body to affect the whole body- one system is auriculotherapy and another one, his latest, is Abdominal Acupuncture (Fu Zhen).

The first time I heard and learned about Abdominal Acupuncture was 2 years ago, during my Chinese gynecology studies.
It sounded like a perfect system to treat women and everything that has to do with women- problems with the period, infertility, migraines and so on.
I was able to use it on one patient before I stopped working at my practice, and had very good results.
