What is “reading” the pulses?
A unique and elegant aspect of classical Chinese acupuncture is the palpation of the 12 pulses upon the radial artery of the wrists. This reading gives an enormous amount of information related to the quantity and quality of energy in each of the meridians and their associated organs and functions. At each of your treatments, your pulses are “read” and moxa and needles are used. Your response to treatment is carefully monitored. Lifestyle recommendations will be discussed when appropriate. Each time you come for treatment, you’ll have time to tell us of any changes that you notice within yourself.
