Course Overview

Acupuncture is a sophisticated therapy that leverages our body’s natural healing abilities. The choice of acupoints involves more than matching symptoms to functions; it requires understanding the dynamics of health and disease. This course focuses on the controversial Ren1 Huiyin acupoint, which requires revealing a highly intimate area, raising significant safety and ethical concerns.
