Dr Jake Fratkin presents his Yin-Yang Japanese Style Acupuncture Protocol
After 30 years of study and clinical practice, I have honed and focused various acupuncture approaches into my own system, which I call the Taiji (Yin-Yang) Acupuncture Protocol. This is a complete acupuncture protocol, offering a unique and effective therapy for both chronic and acute problems. It offers a fundamental yin-yang balance, often restoring the patient to their healthiest state within a series of 4 to 6 acupuncture treatments given once per week.
By balancing the yin and the yang, this protocol offers a complete root balance for the patient, and can be given alone, or followed by a branch treatment that concentrates on the patients complaint. Branch treatments can include various styles and approaches, including, Japanese branch treatment, TCM, Master Tung acupuncture, Auricular acupuncture, Korean hand acupuncture and Herbal Medicines.
Why should you consider learning Japanese style Acupuncture? I can compare Japanese and Chinese styles by referring to cooking, looking at Japanese sushi versus a Chinese stir-fried rice dish. Both are very nutritious; both are delicious. But sushi is exquisite in its design, execution, and taste. It is delicate, thoughtful, and subtle. Stir-fry is tasty and satisfying, but it lacks finesse and sophistication. Ingredients are cut quickly, tossed without much thought, and served efficiently.
If one is to pursue acupuncture as an art, one that requires a lifetime of study, practice, and effort, one should apply oneself to the more refined Japanese style. In this way, one will move beyond medical application, towards a cultivation of feeling, sensing, and affecting the patients energetic network. The ultimate achievement is not only enhanced health for the patient, but as important, personal development through self-cultivation of a very ancient and spiritual art.
