In acupuncture and moxibustion treatment, it can be a huge challenge to treat disorders with kidney deficiency e.g. infertility, dementia, hair loss, osteoporosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, hypothyroidism, etc. In some patients, esp. the elderly,  If we only use the kidney meridians points e.g. KI3, KI6, KI7, BL23, the condition could become worse because there is not enough kidney Jing and Qi to be used by stimulating those points. Then we need to find other methods, e.g. herbal medicine, Qigong or acupoints outside the kidney channels, e.g. Du and Ren points.

In this webinar, i will share my understanding and experience to treat kidney deficiency with special theories and points, covering the following topics:

1. Points based on the principle Bu Hou Tian Yi Yang Xian Tian (补后天以养先天)  “strengthen the postnatal to supplement the prenatal”
2. Five Body Acupuncture: bone and marrow
3. Eight extraordinary channels
4. Points from traditional acupuncture, scalp acupuncture, and Master Tung’s acupuncture will be introduced as examples in clinical practice
5. Case study
