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

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.
