Funny acupuncture cartoons: I love the comics! This one is so cute. When I studied Acupressure and Chinese Medicine we learned about moxa. I never worked with moxibustion but I hear it has a strong smell, so this is kind of hilarious
If you don’t know what acupressure is, it refers to any technique using finger pressure on “acupoints” to reduce stress and balance the body’s energy, called: qi (“chi”) or prana. Acupuncture works with needles. I never worked with moxibustion but I hear it has a strong smell, so this is kind of hilarious
The body’s energy, circulates through the body via pathways called meridians. These pathways connect your vital organs and are linked with the mind and emotions. When these meridians are clear and functioning properly the body is able to maintain a balanced energy and function. Think rest and digest. However, the stress of daily life can cause strain on the body – physically, mentally, and emotionally which blocks meridians and prana flow. Sometimes, these blockages can lead to sickness and pain in the corresponding areas, along with emotional and mental imbalances. So what to do? Balance, laugh, breathe, relax, get a treatment, book a private yoga lesson…all good
