Welcome
Chapter Eight introduces the second step of the pre-treatment planning stage: regulating the autonomic nervous system (ANS) through treatment in the optimal position. This chapter details specific acupuncture combinations for regulating the ANS and enhancing healing potential. Cupping on the back and abdomen is another technique taught for ANS regulation. Additionally, the chapter explains how adjustments to ANS regulation can facilitate effective treatment even when the patient is in a non-optimal position. The total video duration is two hours and fifteen minutes.
Goals:
- Understand how regulating the ANS influences acupuncture’s healing potential.
- Determine the optimal treatment position for regulating the ANS by testing the abdomen.
- Learn combinations of abdominal, back, scalp, facial, and auricular points to regulate the ANS.
- Understand how to modify the treatment to regulate the ANS in the non-optimal position.
