acupuncture/acupressure

[jennahunni]

hey guys just a few questions about these topics

what is the common feature about eastern methods of fingertip medicine?

what are the five roots of traditional chinese medicine? is this fire, water, earth and so on?

if the client had an infection, cancer or was pregnant would you not carrying out the treatment because the cancer could spread and so could the infection and as for pregnancy would that not risk the health of the baby in the early stages?

thanks for any answers

Hi Jenna,

Well done on doing home learning. Sorry I can't be of help with answers, perhaps some members here in the know will help answer. You said your tutors number starts 01 which to me is Dublin, maybe you could give a quick ring and see if tutor has email address that you can use?

Good luck with the study.


Love Rachel

Hi,

So far as infection, cancer or pregnancy goes... Acupuncture can be used for all them IF you know what you're doing. A properly trained acupuncturist will be able to treat any of these groups, and indeed for cancer and pregnancy it be a great benefit. But you need to know what you're doing - for instance there are certain points which should not be used during pregnancy.
