Acupuncture: "Getting To The Point"

This program is a comprehensive overview of acupuncture. Presented in a simple and easy to understand manner, this tape teaches the structure and philosophy of this oriental healing art. Useful to all health practitioners as well as to laymen, the tape provides a solid foundation in the basic subject.

Presented in the form of a lively dialogue, the information is illustrated with clear graphics and computer generated images. The experience and enthusiasm of the two presenters makes the videotape enjoyable as well as educational.

Of special note is the use of a live model for a unique demonstration of the flow of energy through the body. This amazing display teaches the location of the specific meridians as well as their direction of flow and color. A must to see.

This video tape offers a variety of potential uses both in professional and public educational settings. Other possibilities include use as a library resource, as an excellent form of home-study, and as a powerful tool for patient education.


Physical Balancing

The modern approach to understanding and using the Law of Five Elements in acupuncture practice.

This tape is designed to bring you into the world of the Five Element Law of Chinese Medicine. This combination of the ancient art of pulse diagnosis and the modern art of muscle testing is designed to enable you to learn and refine your understanding in preventive medicine in the traditional Chinese style.

We feel this video can open new horizons for western practitioners by offering them an objective means of determining energy imbalances in the meridians while at the same time providing a correlation with the pulses.

Everything necessary to begin using this information immediately is included in this video.

This video covers Five Elements, pulse diagnosis, muscle testing, alarm points, needling and balancing techniques and several on-film case histories. We show you how to use Physical Balancing easily.

Video Presentations - Review by the American Journal of Acupuncture, Vol.15, No2 April-June 1987

"It's almost as if the cassette and color slides were invented for the sole purpose of educating your patients." This remark from an acupuncture patient who was watching the slides in the reception room, goes to the heart of why thousands of people have now a better overview of acupuncture.

This program is a practical introduction to acupuncture for laymen. The presentation consists of 60 excellent quality color slides and a professionally recorded audio cassette tape. Intended for use by acupuncturists to increase their practice by giving them a tool for presenting acupuncture to the public in a clear and concise audio-visual lecture, the series is equally suitable for viewing by patients in the office or for community viewings in front of large groups of people.

The show was developed over several years as a way to illustrate the questions most asked during the authors own teaching of introductory classes and public lecturing. The slides can be used with the cassette tape as a complete 30 minute lecture. Another approach might be to use the slides, but to read the script yourself so that you become involved in the teaching. In some instances you may only wish to use a few slides depending on your audience. Some of the slides showing acupuncture analgesia in surgery are especially graphic and carry a powerful impact. A written script is also included.

In sum, Acupuncture Teaching Slides is a fine package, well suited for presentations in your office or for large groups. Feedback on this program has been very positive and comments from purchasers show that the material is effective for its intended purpose.

Video format

This presentation is also available on a video cassette. The slides and audio have been directly transferred to video for use in patient education in the office or as a rental. You may also wish to consider giving this video to a local video retailer with your business card attached.
