Hoewel het ruim een jaar geleden is dat ik naar een lezing geweest ben van Micheal
Puett in de Westerkerk in Amsterdam, heb ik deze vakantie zijn boek The Path
uitgelezen. Het is geen boek om van kaft tot kaft in een middag uit te lezen.
Daarvoor wordt er te veel geschreven dat ook moet bezinken. Net als voeding
moeten ook nieuwe inzichten verteerd worden. Wat het boek bijzonder maakt, is
dat hij een aantal Chinese filosofieën naar het huidige en dagelijkse leven
brengt. De grote zoektocht naar ‘jezelf’ is volgens hem niet nodig. We zijn een
rommelige verzameling van invloeden, tegenstrijdige emoties, een reeks
gedragspatronen. Deze gedragspatronen kunnen ontwikkelen en veranderen.
Jezelf ontwikkelen en verbeteren gebeurd niet door boven op een berg te
mediteren. Het zit juist in de kleine dagelijkse veranderingen waar de
verbeteringen vandaan komen en is voor iedereen toegankelijk. Het is juist door
de kleine gebaren dat de verandering in gang gezet wordt. Het begint klein en
werkt door naar het grotere geheel. Het is helder en leuk beschreven en geeft
op een toegankelijke manier inzicht in de Chinese filosofen. Een absolute
aanrader (ook in het Nederlands verkrijgbaar).
Staying healthy can be a job in itself. Many articles in magazines are about health and staying healthy. But how do we do that? Articles can contradict each other, which can make it quite confusing. It changes from day to day, depending on what research has been funded and by whom. In the Western world we are used to thinking in absolute and dualistic terms, in either/or, good or bad. This linear approach does not look at the interconnectedness nor the bigger picture.
A demonstration fire-cupping was given today at my practice in Bloemendaal. It is a very effective and powerfull treatment to help the body release excess. Effective against a cold/flue, muscle strain, shoulder-neck pain. It reduces pain and relaxes the body. In my practice I combine to with TuiNa and acupuncture.
However, few physiotherapist and all practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medice say "RICE is not nice"
Why? The aim of any treatment should be to reduce/eliminate pain and to promote the healing proces.The R.I.C.E. method works counterproductive as far as the healing proces is concerned.
R: What is needed for an injury to heal is blood. The white bloodcells clean up dead tissue and prevent possible infection. Rest does not improve the blood flow. A little movement, without causing pain,helps the healing proces. I.: The first priority is to get the swelling down. Ice is very effective to get the swelling down and it stops the pain, since the injured part feels numb. The reason why it feels numb is because the bloodcirculation in the injured area has stopped. When the aim is to reduce the pain, it is very effective. When the aim is to support the healing proces, ice slows the healing proces down. It ultimately causes stagnation, which in itself is the definition of pain. One of the main principles of Chinese Medicine is: Tõng ze butóng, butõng ze tóng -Without free flow there is pain, when there is free flow there is no pain-. C: Compression limits the swelling.It does however limit the blood flow in the area, depending on how tight the compression is applied. E: 'Elevation involves simply raising the injured part above the level of the heart to let the force of gravity aid in draining excess fluid. This method is also employed in Chinese sports medicine' ( Tom Bisio, A tooth from the tiger's mouth). In the video interview with Gary Reini, a profesional trainer who works with many professional teams, Mr. Reini says: "RICE is wrong. RICE is not nice! Ice actually causes a back flow of the lymphatic fluid into the interstitial space and actually creates more congestion, not less"

Being pregnant can be a very exiting period for you and your partner. Acupuncture combined with tuina-massage can help relief a number of pregnancy related symptoms such as:
* nausea,
* insomnia,
* backache
* swollen ankles
* preparing for a natural birth
* getting back on your feet
Preparing for a natural birth can start in week 36 through having weekly treatments. When the birth needs to be induced acupuncture can be very effective in week 42. During the birth itself your partner can help with the use of acupressure to give relief and assist the natural process. A short introduction in acupressure during birth for you and your partner is given by Qi Quest.
After the birth acupuncture and tuina helps to get back on your feet.
See the world as your self.
Have faith in the way things are.
Love the world as your self;
then you can care for all things
When there is no desire,
all things are at peace
In dwelling, live close to the ground.
In thinking, keep to the simple.
In conflict, be fair and generous.
In governing, don’t try to control.
In work, do what you enjoy.
In family life, be completely present
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Apr 15 - Acupuncture or acupressure stimulation of Pericardium 6 (P6), a point on the wrist, is safe and effective for reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting, according to a review of studies appearing in The Cochrane Library for April 14. The results show that compared with sham treatment, P6 stimulation reduces nausea by 29%, vomiting by 30%, and the need for rescue antiemetics by 31%, report study co-authors Dr. Anna Lee and Dr. Lawrence T. Y. Fan, from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin.
A patient with a swollen knee came to my practice. I focused the acupuncture treatment on moving and draining fluids. A week later the size of the knee had returned to normal. Through stimulating the right points, the body does the rest!
Last week I followed a wonderful workshop given by Martine Cornelissen about the meaning of the Chinese names of acupuncture point at Qingbai Academy. In the western schools the acupuncture points are given a number and the name of the organ. The additional meaning of the points in Chinese are lost this way, which is unfortunate since through knowlegde of the names information is given about the location, the specific function and/ or its relationship with other points.
