Acupuncture Showcase Unveiled

Acupuncture Today Staff

Now acupuncturists and doctors of Oriental medicine can find detailed information on products and services in the Acupuncture Showcase (advertising@mpamedia.com). The Showcase is a new service of that allows acupuncture companies to publish and maintain information on all of the products and services they offer to the acupuncture profession.

The Showcase is updated every month with the most recent information and announcements featured on the home page. In addition, each acupuncture company has its own section of the Showcase where they can publish additional and previously released information.

Participating companies are already adding many pages of information that will allow interested doctors of Oriental medicine and acupuncturists the opportunity to read detailed information about the products and services they are interested in online. This information differs from advertising in that it provides pages of detailed information. If the company has a website, their link is provided as well.

The hope is that every acupuncture company will make this information available to the profession through the Acupuncture Showcase. By doing so, practitioners can have immediate access to information that will help them make informed buying decisions.

If your company isn't currently publishing its information on the Acupuncture Showcase, please call 1-800-324-7758.

Fire and the Pelvis
Fire and the Pelvis

While there aren’t any meridians associated with fire that cross the pelvis, that doesn’t mean the lower tan tien is void of fire. Fire has a more ethereal quality to it in relationship to the pelvis and can be connected through discussion of the lower tan tien, the lower san jjao, the ming men, and the bao mai. In this article, we’ll journey through the anatomy of subtle fire in the pelvic bowl and look a bit at how it is kindled, carried and cultivated.

The State of 21st Century Acupuncture in the U.S. (Pt. 2)
The State of 21st Century Acupuncture in the U.S.

In 1997, the World Health Organization and the National Institutes of Health convened a multiday conference on acupuncture to evaluate its clinical utilization and mechanisms of action. The resultant document recommended acupuncture for a wide variety of clinical issues; and also recommended acupuncture be taught in medical schools and brought into mainstream medicine.Twenty-eight years later, acupuncture is far from integrated in the way that the document portends.
