Basics of Zhu's Scalp Acupuncture 2024
A three-day immersive seminar featuring live patient demonstrations and hands-on guidance in Zhu's Scalp Acupuncture, an effective system for treating severe neurological conditions using fewer needles and strategic point combinations.
About This Seminar
Many Acupuncturists find themselves at a crossroads in their practice, struggling to achieve profound results, especially in complex neurological conditions. Conventional methods often fall short in delivering the effectiveness required to handle severe cases like stroke, MS and cerebral palsy.
The legacy of Zhu's Scalp Acupuncture began with Professor Ming Qing Zhu, who pioneered an approach integrating classical Chinese medicine theories with modern neuroscientific insights. ZSA is a complete, separate system of Acupuncture that uses a microsystem on the scalp to affect different body systems, and includes special techniques ('Chou Qi' and 'Jin Qi') and Dao Yin (chi movement).
