Everyday Use of Moxibustion in Clinical Practice
Moxibustion is widely used in TCVM to address patterns of Cold and Damp, particularly in older animals with locomotor disorders, where warming the channels and promoting the movement of Qi and Blood can improve mobility and comfort. Beyond these common applications, moxibustion also plays an important role in strengthening constitutional vitality and supporting patients with Qi and Yang deficiency. Conditions such as post-spay urinary incontinence, weight gain, and lethargy may benefit from therapies that elevate and tonify Qi and Yang. This webinar explores both traditional and less commonly discussed clinical uses of moxibustion, along with practical approaches using smokeless and electrical moxa suitable for modern veterinary practice.

Balance Method and the Intention on the Use of an Acupoint (SP-9 and LIV-3)
“Good intentions” in Balance Method Acupuncture refers to recognizing the primary pattern and disease mechanism, clearing the channels and collaterals, understanding the Five Element relationships of each acupoint, and considering the tissues involved at the point location. This session explores how intention is defined through Balance Method principles, including anatomical Ah-Shi point location; relationships with fascia, sinews, muscles, vessels, and bone; Five Element classification; channel nature and system relationships; and the holographic concepts of mirror and image within the body. Together, these guide precise and effective acupuncture treatment.
