💼 This week, Ben asks Gabriella, What's In An Acupuncturist's Toolkit?! Gabriella highlights the characteristics of acupuncture needles, emphasising their fine and solid nature. Gabriella explains the minimal sensation during needling and the technique of brief needle insertion in Five Element Acupuncture.
They touch on moxa, a herb used to heat points before needling, mentioning its warming effect and pleasant fragrance. Beyond physical tools, Gabriella emphasises the importance of the acupuncturist's senses—sight, sound, smell, and touch—in diagnosing and treating patients holistically. She discusses how these sensory tools help perceive subtle changes in a patient's condition, from detecting imbalance through Colour, Sound, Odour and Emotion to gauging the state of a patient's energy through touch and understanding the emotional aspects of their well-being.
