Navel Acupuncture - China's Best Kept Secret

 

 

There is something new and exciting on the Canadian healing horizon: navel

acupuncture.

 

 

Although this revolutionary modality has been discovered in the last

decade by China's renowned cosmetic surgeon, Professor Yong Qi, its

underpinnings and applications date back to principles that precede traditional

Chinese

medicine (TCM) or, for that matter, any other kind of medicine.

 

 

Navel acupuncture inserts very few needles in a body area that has

traditionally been forbidden to puncture, the modest belly button. A

well-skilled

and trained navel acupuncturist can address all health disorders ranging

from simple muscle pain to conditions that involve organ dysfunctions and

changes in the tissues. It is especially convenient for pain management and

relief. Dr. Yong, who believes that there is no condition that cannot be

treated, draws his inspiration from the prehistoric classic philosophical text,

the I Ching or the Book of Changes, which provides the basis for Chinese

Astrology, Feng Shui, Confucianism, Taoism and many other Oriental concepts.

 

 

Navel acupuncture is simple to administer, fast working and reliable. Most

patients report instant benefits immediately after the first needle is

inserted. This system uses very few needles and, hence, minimizes patient

discomfort. For many common, nagging conditions, one or two needles suffice.

More complex complaints may require a half a dozen or less. Patients usually

leave the treatment table feeling noticeably better than when they came

into the clinic.

 

 

TCM maintains that, throughout our lives, we draw on a variety of internal

energy resources. One type is the postnatal energy that we acquire and

collect after birth. This type of energy is a bit like a battery that, unless

it is reinvigorated, it slowly discharges with use. It is this source that

most healing modalities access. Unless we eat properly, exercise regularly,

avoid trauma, infections, accidents, and surgeries, resist harmful

addictive substances, filter the water we drink and the air we breathe, do our

Tai

Chi and Qi Gong faithfully, preserve our reproductive powers, and think

nothing but positive thoughts, as we age, we can deplete our post natal energy

to the point that it is unable to heal us through traditional modalities.

 

 

Another type of energy is the prenatal or, the energy that we inherit,

generate, and collect before our birth. After birth, the body securely stores

this type of energy in the navel area. Until recently, without

extraordinary measures, this type of energy has usually not been easy to tap.

 

 

Navel acupuncture has changed that. This innovative modality is able to

access prenatal energy. In fact, this is exactly how navel acupuncture is

different than other forms of acupuncture. It enables us to draw on prenatal

energies. Hence, so to speak, it has given us the equivalent of a fully

charged spare battery to enhance the body's capacity to heal itself. For this,

and other reasons, navel acupuncture tends to generate positive and

immediate results.

 

 

Navel acupuncture presents other advantages. It is easy to apply. The

navel area is very accessible for needling. Because the needles are inserted

superficially, they tend to be both safe and generally pain-free. Only the

navel and its surrounding area need to be exposed. Hence there is no need for

the patient to disrobe and for the practitioner to provide draping. Most of

all, navel acupuncture is very reliable. It gets the job done

proficiently.

 

 

Three years ago, internationally acclaimed Doctor of TCM, Dr. Weidong Yu

of Vancouver's Wellsprings Clinic, became the first Canadian to be trained

by Dr. Qi. Dr. Yu studied with the Chinese master both in the United States

and in China. This past July, Dr. Yu brought Dr. Qi to Vancouver. This was

the first time that tnavel acupuncture training was available in Canada.

Now there are a handful of Canadian practitioners offering naval acupuncture

in BC.
