- Learning Chinese medicine – Why both Acupuncture and herbal medicine are important
- Chinese medicine vs. Western medicine perspectives on mental/brain health
- Being medically ‘bilingual’ – Integrating Chinese medicine and Western/Conventional medicine
- Helping patients with blood pressure issues
- Understanding Western medicine within the framework of Chinese medicine
- The interaction of Chinese medicine with pharmaceutical medication and treatments
- Understanding insulin receptor function
- Considering the vagus nerve in Chinese medicine
- Men’s health: TCM treatment for an enlarged prostate and urinary issues
- Anything we see in Western medicine, we should be able to talk about it from the Chinese medicine point of view. We’re looking at the same body; we’re just using different ways to describe it.
