My teacher Dr Yi Tian Ni, was the first to introduce me to Woman’s Health and Gynecology in CM. She was an expert herbalist and acupuncturist. Geometric patterns in acupuncture is just one of her teachings that has has impacted my needling style over the past 22 years. In this class I would like to:
- Introduce the 7 main types of patterns, explain their use and give examples
- Discuss my thoughts on the parallel of certain geometric patterns with certain Great Sweeping Motions and give formula examples
- Describe a case from clinic that incorporates geometrical pattern acupuncture with a matching formula.
