The Heiner Experience- part 2

Posted on April 3, 2008 by 3 Comments

Before I started studying Chinese Medicine, it would happen to me all the time with my favorite band- Queen (Brian May rules by the way…):
I’d think about them, turn on the radio, and along came a song by Queen. As though it was especially for me.
Don’t you just love it when that happens?
Ever since I started studying CM, I think about points, talk about points with other people, and then I go to my practitioner/healer and along comes the very same point that was on my mind for so long. This happened recently twice- with Tai Yi- ST23, and with Da Dun- Liv1.
Amazing.

It’s been two weeks or so since I heard Prof. Heiner Fruehauf speak on the Israeli Congress of Chinese Medicine, and I keep thinking about certian parts he talked about.
On the first seminar- “All Diseases Come From The Heart”- Heiner talked about the Ox, which is the animal associated with the 12th month, which is associated with the Liver organ, is the symbol of the uterus and ovaries.
Therefore, like the Ox, the Liver is the source of all endourness: physically, sexually and emotionally.
And women are a part of all this.
The weakest point for women is also their strongest point, which is blood. And when you talk of blood in CM, you talk primarely about the Liver.
The Ox is a symbol for the uterus and the ovaries, the internal organs of a woman, which have everything to do with smooth flow of blood- whether we’re talking about a woman’s cycle or about pregnancy.

Acupuncture vs. Herbs

Posted on January 18, 2008 by 7 Comments

I must be honest with you: if this is the question, acupuncture vs. herbs- acupuncture will be the winner any day.
I don’t mean to put down herbs, I really don’t, I just don’t like them very much. As I see their benefits and think that they are very powerful, studying them is almost like a punishment, and let’s face it- it’s just not fun!

But acupuncture- now there’s an art! There’s a place to be creative.
Yes, I can hear all those herb-people saying “but you can be very creative with herbs too!”, but it’s just not the same.
OK, ok, I will tell you the tale of my struggle with Chinese herbs, which will explain why I don’t like ‘em, I just don’t.
