Learning the basics of promoting or controlling the flow of qi through the Five Phases is an elemental part of every acupuncturist's training. We learn how the antique points can be used to nudge a response or invite a different kind of resonance into a patient's life.
The Korean Saam acupuncture tradition began with the penetrating insight into acupuncture by the hermit monk Saam. This tradition has been passed down through a lineage of monastic practitioners, as well as in secular and academic traditions.
Today the Saam tradition pulls from numerous influences and while popular and commonly used in Korea, it is only recently finding its way into mainstream acupuncture practice in the West.
