Psychosomatic Compartmentalization The Root of Qi and Blood Stagnation
نویسنده
چکیده
Stagnation of Qi and Blood are basic clinical patterns of Oriental Medicine, but their origin from splits in consciousness is rarely considered clinically significant.

The author then goes on to suggest that attention to these strategies is at least as important as any particular acupuncture protocol.
