Advanced Korean Hand Therapy Workshop: Improving Health through Acupuncture Energy Balance

Lawrence Li, MD, MPH and Dan Lobash, Ph.D., L.Ac. AANP Annual Conference June 10 - 11, 2004

Objectives: Following this presentation, the participant will be able to: 1. Review Basic Correspondence experience by participants; Q & A 2. Apply new correspondence points for the internal organs (Mu points) 3. Understand the concept of energy circulation and balance in health and the role of lifestyle and

Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to improve energy balance. 4. Demonstrate the following diagnostic skills:

a. O-ring muscle testing (applied kinesiology) to determine appropriate treatments. b. Identify which acupuncture body meridians are involved for musculoskeletal problems.

Describe their location on the hand under the KHT system. 5. Demonstrate the following treatments:

a. Sedation and Tonification of meridians using pellet bandaids. b. Upper, Middle & Lower Heater patterns c. Gender patterns d. Eight extraordinary meridians to balance posture and energetics e. Five element theory for the Three Constitutional Treatments (Spleen, Kidney or Large Intestine

excess) to balance overall energy. 6. Be able to use KHT formulas to apply press pellets to address common internal medicine problems.

• Sinus/Nose/Ear • Digestive

• Women’s Health • Anxiety/Depression: Energetic Valium

All participants should have taken the Basic KHT Workshop as there will be no review of this material.

Traditional Chinese Medicine TCM considers the patient as a microcosm of the universe, subject to the influences of the environment and internal harmony. Patients are subject to the interplay of external factors such as wind, heat, dryness, dampness and cold which act on the elemental qualities of the human body such as wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Internal factors such as anxiety, sadness, anger, and elation also influence health as well as the interplay between the classic polar stations of yin and yang. TCM has a different anatomical and physiological construct which is internally logical and consistent but different from the Western model. To explain TCM in Western terms is difficult, but to explain TCM from an Eastern philosophical standpoint is easy. Ultimately, a Western practitioner must accept acupuncture as a scientifically validated treatment without fully understanding its mechanism of action. Many drugs in the Western pharmacopeia work clinically but are without adequate physiological

explanations as to their effectiveness. Aspirin was used for more than 100 years before its mechanism of action was recently elucidated, and this scientific achievement was awarded the Nobel prize. Energy Circulation Life energy, or Qi (“chee”) must circulate throughout the body and in the anatomical territory of each of the internal organs. Qi is said to normally flow along meridians, which are theoretical channels to carry and distribute Qi. The meridians divide the body into six sagital territories of influence. Blockages in the flow of Qi are said to cause disease much like blockages of blood flow can cause damage downstream. KHT Treatment of Energy Imbalance: Overview 1. Five Element Theory —> Three Constitutions: Excess Kidney, Large Intestine or Spleen

• Determine by Muscle Testing or Pulse Taking (hard; 6 months skill) • Balance with pellet bandaids or rings

2. Micromeridian: Balance through Sedation or Tonification of Energy Flow 3. Eight Extraordinary Meridians: composite superhighway: Balance posture, energetics Yin - Yang Cycle Figure 3 Figure 4

Everything flows in cycles. Every organ interacts with other organs. Problems seldom occur in isolation.

OPTIONS TO IMPROVE RESULTS BEYOND CORRESPONDENCE THERAPY: KHT pellets create directional flow, from Aluminum (Silver) negative —> Brass (Gold) positive

1. TONIFY the weaker meridian: apply pellets in the same direction as the meridian flow. Usually this is a Yin Organ. Example: Tonify LUNG: Apply aluminum pellet on PIP, brass pellet on DIP on C meridian

2. SEDATE a meridian: apply pellets in the opposite direction to the meridian flow. Usually this is a Yang organ. Example: Sedate Large Intestine: Apply aluminum pellet on PIP, brass pellet on DIP on D meridian

3. Creating energetic movement across a meridian pair or an energy axis e.g., Meridian pair: Tonify LUNG: Apply a brass pellet at C9, aluminum pellet at D2

4. Tonify the Gender pattern (improves energy balance) Female: A1, 4, 6, 8, 12 A4 corresponds to the uterus

Male: A1, 3, 6, 8, 12 A3 corresponds to the bladder and prostate

5. Eight Extraordinary meridians (8 EM) for Treating Excess Large Intestine, Spleen & Kidney Energy

Excellent for creating global improvement in energy balance, improving posture

Table 6: Eight Extraordinary Meridians

Tongue findings • Red perimeter signifies Liver energy excess;

common in the Spring. Irritability, resentment/anger, ligament problems

• Scalloped tongue edge (tooth edema marks) =

Spleen imbalance. Excessive introspection • Red tip = Heart overactive, poor recent sleep.

Overactive emotions, mania

Large Intestine Excess: Tend to be thin, athletic Symptoms: constipation, hyperacidity, low back pain, herniated disk, lower jaw toothache, nasal congestion, dry cough, tennis elbow, deltoid pain, feels stressed —tired Spleen Excess: Tend to be overweight Symptoms: Diabetes, pancreatitis, malabsorption, anemia, nausea, hypoacidity, stroke, oversleep, overly instrospective Kidney Excess: No particular physical stereotype Symptoms: Gynecological problems, kidney stones, nephritis,decreased hearing, tinnitus, dry inflamed throat, allergies, cold hands & feet, hypotension, spinal arthritis, sooty comlexion, fearful, anxious

Muscle Testing (Applied Kinesiology)

History: • Research by George Goodheart. Benign

physical stimuli (e.g., nutritional supplements) would increase the strength of certain indicator muscles. Inimical stimuli would cause those muscles to weaken suddenly.

• John Diamond, M.D.: Indicator muscles would strengthen or weaken in the presence of positive or negative emotional and intellectual stimuli, as well as physical stimuli. Books: Diamond, J. Your Body Doesn't Lie:How to Increase Your Life Energy Through Behavioral Kinesiology. New York: Warner Books, Inc.; 1979. Behavioral Kinesiology. New York: Harper & Row; 1979.

• David Hawkins: comprehensive analysis of the emotional and spiritual development of individuals, societies, and humanity in general. Important book: Hawkins, David R. Power versus Force: An Anatomy of Consciousness. Sedona, AZ: Veritas Publishing; 1998.

Potential uses: Distinguish Truthful from False statements • Identify which Constitutional pattern to use. • Identify improvement in acupuncture

energetic balance • Beneficial/Harmful Foods, Supplements,

Medications; Dosing

Acupuncture does not resolve all cases. Reconsider the following:

a. Anatomic Diagnosis

b. Etiology

c. Ergonomics

d. Stress Management (increases tension, decreases sleep)

e. Other therapies
