Acupuncture Treatment for Obesity

A study edited at the Medical Acupuncture journal suggests the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment in weight loss in patients already following a diet and exercise regimen.

Western Science Meets Eastern Wisdom

That was the title of a conference organized last year in Italy. Even though the kernel of discussions was not only Chinese Medicine, I believe that the theme is interesting enough.

This is the goal of medical acupuncture, isn't it?

Heart channel for uses other than for shen problems

I propose you a very interesting article of Giovanni Maciocia where he explores the clinical use of the Heart channel for uses other than for mental-emotional problems. He talks about itching, sexual function in men, its connexion with uterus and nausea, for example.
