Acupuncture Methods
Here are some acupuncture Methods that R.Ac Yoshie Nagano had contact with:
Classic Acupuncture:
Known as traditional acupuncture, is rooted in ancient Chinese medicine and has been practiced for thousands of years. This method involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body known as acupuncture points or acupoints. These points are located along pathways called meridians, which are believed to be channels through which Qi (vital energy) flows. (At Collège de Rosemont)
Dr. Tan’s Method:
Known as the “Balance Method,” this technique uses a pattern-based system to treat pain and dysfunction. It is particularly effective for rapid pain relief and is based on principles of meridian balance. (At Collège de Rosemont)
Saam Acupuncture:
A Korean technique that combines acupuncture with principles of traditional Chinese medicine and Buddhist philosophy. It uses specific points to treat energetic imbalances in the internal organs, focusing on holistic treatment.
