]]> Integrating Acupuncture and PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) Stimulation https://symposium.pacificcollege.edu/session/2022-day-2/integrating-acupuncture-and-pemf-pulsed-electromagnetic-field-stimulation/ Fri, 24 Jun 2022 20:02:30 +0000 https://www.pacificcollege.edu/symposium/?post_type=session&p=6313 Combine acupuncture and PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) stimulation in order to enhance an acupuncture treatment outcome. PEMFs can stimulate acupuncture points, enhance cellular and mitochondrial function, and improve clinical effectiveness. Applications include general health and wellness optimization and treatment of serious injuries or pathologies. We will discuss how to plan combined treatments for different types of conditions and a range of PEMF devices will be demonstrated.

]]> In this session, we will explore how to combine acupuncture and PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) stimulation in order to enhance an acupuncture treatment outcome. PEMFs can stimulate acupuncture points and also enhances cellular and mitochondrial function. Introducing PEMF alongside acupuncture can improve clinical effectiveness. Applications range from optimization of general health and wellness to the treatment of serious injuries or pathologies. We will discuss how to plan integrated PEMF-Acupuncture treatments for different types of conditions by varying intensity, frequency, and duration. A range of PEMF devices will be demonstrated.

]]> This lecture will introduce the twelve-official physiology to the practitioner of Chinese medicine, as conveyed by Chapter Eight of the Suwen, “The Secret Compendium of the Miraculous Orchid.” It will provide an overview of the opening passages to that chapter looking at the original Chinese text and English translation. It will then delve into the etymology of selected lines, providing the student of Classical Chinese medicine with a window into the holotropic landscape of early Chinese medical writings. We will  explore the ways in which these insights illuminate the human body, health, and disease as dynamic, cybernetic systems. The presentation will include case studies to illustrate the use of twelve-official physiology to inform treatment planning, including the selection of herbal formulas, acupuncture points, and lifestyle guidance.
