About Rena and YUAN WELLNESS
Nei Jing Ling Shu
Nei Jing Ling Shu (The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) is an ancient acupuncture reference book with language that has evolved significantly, making it challenging even for modern Chinese speakers. YUAN WELLNESS recommends essential translations by Dr. Li Xin and Dr.Claudine Merer. Their insights and translations are on our BLOG for deeper understanding.
Nei Jing Tu
As suggested by the ancient reference book Nei Jing Ling Shu, a good acupuncturist needs to cultivate themselves as much as they understand the principles of TCM. Practicing meditation, Qi Gong, and body exercises are all necessary. Neijing Tu is a great tool for an acupuncturist to cultivate themselves and understand Nei Jing Ling Shu.
Ancient Chinese medicine practitioners trained in the unity of heaven and man as a foundational aspect of their education. This practice was known as cultivation. —— Master Xing Yi
Exploring 'Nei Jing Tu'
鍉鍼Teishi
Acupuncture not only treats disease but also maintains health and enhances well-being. Teishin, one of the nine classic needles, is a non-invasive tool that does not penetrate the skin. Effective for working on the Shen (Heart), it is ideal for those sensitive to needles, including children. Teishin is a well-developed tool in traditional Japanese acupuncture, known for its gentle approach and use in delicate treatments. More…
‘The subtle and refined techniques of teishin have an aesthetic beauty. The treatment becomes a fluid dance, adapting as the child’s system responds.’— Mark Petruzzi MS, LAc, LMT
Direct Moxa
Direct Moxa, or Rice Grain Moxa, involves placing a small amount of moxa directly on acupuncture points and igniting it to warm and stimulate the area. This ancient technique is straightforward and effective, providing deep, localized heat. It's also often smokeless, making it suitable for use in most clinical settings.
