Men-Tsee-Khang Sowa Rigpa Medical College and Hospital organized a resource talk on Introduction to the Japanese Style of Acupuncture and its Application from 3:45 to 5:00 p.m. on Friday, 15th November, 2024. The invited speaker was Yumiko Bamba, MSc., licensed acupuncturist and hypnotherapist. She has nearly two decades of experience and is still pursuing her profession at her clinic in San Francisco, California, USA.
All medical students and interested faculty members attended her talk, hearing passionately about traditional Chinese medicine. Yumiko spoke about the general concept of Yin and Yang and the importance of identifying the correct Meridian before performing the Japanese acupuncture style. She deliberated further on the diagnostic method by observing the five sensorial organs, concerning their correlation with health and disease conditions.
Apart from that, she even demonstrated a few points that emphasized the health of lung and large intestine correlation on a student volunteer. She also entertained a few questions, and towards the end of the session, she consulted a few students with much compassion, vigor, and zeal.
